I am going to enroll in my master degree course majoring in counseling psychology. I was planning to enroll in Silliman University here in Dumaguete, but I was thinking of a university in Manila, which one would be the best for psychology?

Are you in the Philippines, and if so, exactly, where are you? If you are in Dumaguete, Silliman University is tops. If you prefer to come to Manila, you can enrol in UP or UST. These two universities have proven track record of excelling in this course. I do not know the reasons for your choice to study in Manila over that of Dumaguete. Silliman University is a famous school and studyin in the province which has maintained its charm and a peaceful environment is a more preferred option. Manila is overcrowded, more expensive dormitories, where the traffic is always heavy with all the noise and the fumes and where the crime rate is higher than any province. With these enumerated, i hope you will make brilliant choice! Good luck.

Thnx for your response. I've been taking my bachelors in Silliman and I ve noticed that its only the name that remains. The education is mediocre (I ve studied in Germany before coming here) and I was so frustrated with our college's politics. Anyways I'll think about it. I can always take my doctorate n manila ^^

I think you have already some plans. By all means, go for it. Remember though, that having those post-graduate degrees doesn't guarantee financial success. I hope you will not be enslaved by our 16th century educational system!

I think if you can afford to have your post grad in here well you can always have that as an option. But I think Silliman University is also a good school in your place. I think you can have that as good option for you and economical as you don't have to travel and spend that much as compared to studying here in Manila.
