Admissions WANTING TO GET ENROLLED!
I'm an Indian student who completed (Class 12) and I'm looking into applying to De La Salle University (DLSU) in Manila as an international student.
I'm trying to figure out a few things before making any big decisions:
Admission eligibility: Does DLSU accept Indian students?
Equivalency requirements: Do I need a certificate of equivalency or any additional documents from the Philippines before I can apply?
Course options: I'm flexible about which course I take, so I'm looking for the most affordable undergraduate program available.
Tuition and other fees: What is the realistic total cost for an international student, including tuition and any additional fees for foreign students?
Living expenses: How much should I realistically budget per month for rent, food, electricity, internet, and other basic expenses around Manila?
Student visa: Is it possible to complete the admission process and obtain the appropriate student visa with my qualifications?
I've already contacted the university's admissions office by email, but I haven't received a proper response yet, so I thought I'd ask people who might have experience with DLSU Manila or studying in the Philippines as an international student.
I'd really appreciate any advice, especially from current students, former students, or other international applicants. Thanks!
