Big school, fancy. Huge W since it’s literally facing a mall, which is SM Baguio.
The university of the cordillera offers a lot of courses like, Medtech, Nuursing, Criminology, Political Sciencez and Many More just inquire inside the register. Primarily the University of Cordillera focuses on Criminology, but it has more courses to offer. I suggest always bring an umbrella, flippers, especially for the rainy season. Do carry jacket 🧥 incase its too cold for you. Their education is good, and I am studying here at University of Cordilleras right now as a Criminology student.
This is where I've been getting my degree. Hoping to graduate here
