Whenever people joke about the university's structures, they'd go "Oh look at the new BA building! The MBB building! Yung Eduk din bago... yung CR." Yup. Even years after I've left school, Benitez Hall has always been the butt of jokes. But hey, better than residing atop the library, right SLIS?
PROS: Thanks to donations, research grants, and a hefty grad school population (this college is the UPD's third biggest in number of students. But it has a tiny number of undergrads) there've been improvements in facilities and amenities. The bathrooms are clean and newly-renovated. Each classroom is equipped with those LCD TVs too, for easier set up when using presentation software for reports; Eduk houses some of the nicest and most considerate people in the university.
CONS: Again, like most government institutions, clerical and office processes take some time and are prone to inaccuracies. It may be partly due to obsolete technology in the offices (slow computers), and partly due to obsolete people (slow people. Seriously. If you take five minutes while squinting and typing my name, you can't keep up with technology and you should retire).
TL;DR: It's not perfect, but it's my home college. So I love it and I think the College of Education is one of the most underrated colleges of the University. read more
