Dormitories for rent in University Belt

Here is a list of dormitories in the University Belt in Manila. I found them while looking for dormitories myself. I copied the details from 2 webpages (see the source link to see the pages). 1. KFFI Dorm P. Paredes St., corner Espana, Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines Tel. No. 7354663 Monthly rent: 1,800 (rooms on 2nd floor), 1,650 (rooms on 3rd floor), 1550 (rooms on 4th floor), with four people per room, non-aircon rooms; additional fees of 200 for electric fan, 100 for cellphone charging, 75 for light, and 50 for water; annual registration fee of 200. Advantages: plenty of common bathrooms and restrooms, beds are not double deck, have windows, fairly wide concrete stairs, parents can call for login-logut info, very near FEU, lots of eateries nearby, including one eatery wherein one can buy food through a window from the first floor The dorm is run by civic organization Kapatiran-Kaunlaran Foundation, Inc. KKFI also runs Hugh Wilson Hall Dormitory along Lerma St. My Main Comment: If I were studying and looking to help my parents budget their money, Id consider this dorm. Aside from its nearness to FEU and to affordable eateries, the beds are single, the bathrooms and toilets are adequate, and its run by a foundation. 2. GLORIETTA DE MANILA 776 San Sebastian St. near corner Claro M. Recto Ave., Manila, Philippines Tel. Nos. 733-80-61 loc 106, call Mon to Fri 10am-7pm Monthly rent: 2,200 (4-person aircon room with bathroom, excluding electric and water bills), plus a one-time payment of 2,140 for maintenance fees for a sixmonth contract; 1,200 (4-person room with common bathrooms) plus one-time payment of 2,140 for maintenance fees for a six-month contract Advantages: Fenced compound with a small garden with chairs and tables for guests and relaxation, eatery near the compound entrance, fairly wide concrete stairs, large mirrors near the stairs, mini-balconies 3. ST. CATHERINES LADIES DORMITORY 868 Quezon Blvd., beside FEU Tel. Nos. 410-3743, 721-77-36, 0919-602-8101 Monthly rent: 1,200 (room for ten persons, five double-decks, electric fan, including water and electricity), 2,200 (room for two persons, but all occupied when we inquired) Advantages: One of the nearest to FEU because its just beside FEU. If its raining and you dont have an umbrella, you can reach the dorm without getting wet. We didnt time our walk, but I think a walk from the FEUs western gate to the dorm takes about two minutes. There are also plenty of affordable eateries nearby. Features: Has a security guard (palabiro, has been with the dorm for years) and has a manang whos very pleasant. Concerns: Only a few common bathrooms my daughters main concern. My main comment: If I were a student whos concerned about my parents expenses, Id choose this dorm, especially if Im school all the time, and use the schools facilities most of the time, so Ill just use the dorm for sleeping and getting ready for school. 4. METRO DORM 1388 Claro M. Recto Ave., corner T. Alonzo, corner San Bernardo, Santa Cruz, Manila, Phil Tel. Nos. 0906-538-5024 , 735-5121 Monthly rent: 2,800 (2-person non-aircon room, one double deck), 3,100 (2-person aircon room, one double-deck, excluding aircon charge) Advantages: steel closet per person, study table and chair per person, plenty of common shower rooms, restrooms, and long sink area, large lobby, a Mercury Drugstore on the first floor of the building (good for groceries and toiletries), building security guards, and a dorm doorwoman. Concerns: One has to take a seven-peso jeep ride to and from FEU, although someone used to walking can cover the distance by walking. There are a lot to be encountered on the sidewalk though, such as vendors, street children, merchandise, pedestrians, pet hawkers, and the like. My Main Comment: If not for the distance to FEU, Id choose this for my daughter, as the price is just right considering that there are only two persons in a room, the room is wide enough for two study tables (which are missing in most dorms), and the shower rooms and toilets are new and clean. Mattresses are also provided and bedsheets are changed every week. 5. FINEST LEGACY SUITES 778-780 San Sebastian St., near corner Claro M. Recto, Manila, Philippines Tel. Nos. 985-68-48, 734-95-88 Monthly rent: 3,000 (4-person aircon room), 5,000 (2-person aircon room), 2,500 (4-person non-aircon room), 4,000 (2-person room), excluding electric and water bills Advantages: Every room has an electric submeter, private bathroom, and place for hanging wet underwear. Has reception area and security guard. Parents can call for login-logout info. This dorm looks newly built. My main comment: If not for the distance to FEU and the overall total costs, Id choose this dorm for my daughter. The building is new and clean with each room with a hanging area for wet underwear, fitting my daughter who has allergic rhinitis. 6. QUINCE DORMITORY 2206 San Anton St., Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines Tel. No. 0928-275-4243 Monthly rent: 2,200 (4-person non-aircon room double-deck beds), 2,400 (2-person non-aircon room), 3,500 (4-person aircon room including aircon charge), 3,000 (6-person aircon room including aircon charge) Advantages: The dorm manangs cook affordable food and theres free wifi connection. 7.

Advantages: Free wifi connection, security guard, reception room, fairly wide concrete stairs, plenty of common bathrooms and toilets

8. PACIFIC POD 2nd Floor, San Jose Bldg., P. Campa cor Espana, Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines above KFC Tel. Nos. 0922-8847157 , 09339551852, 711-2719, 711-4445 Monthly rent: 3,500 (two-person aircon room) Advantages: along Espana, near FEU and UST, near KFC, McDo and other eateries Features: Common bathrooms This is an advantage for those who dont have time cleaning bathrooms. Theres a small store for snacks and prepaid loads inside and an Internet station. Theres also a Pacific Pod dorm on 507 Gastambide St. very near the corner of Claro M. Recto Ave. and Legarda, Sampaloc.

We were still looking at other dorms when my daughters friend from high school texted if my daughter likes to stay with her and another friend at an unfurnished studio-type unit along Espana. Although my daughter needs to take a jeepney ride from the offered unit to and from FEU, we decided to say yes, as its my daughters first time to live away from us, so living with friends could help. Besides, her share of the rent would be only 1,400 plus her share of the electric consumption. (When my daughter moved in, however, her share increased to 2,100 pesos as the third person backed out.) Update based on a flyer given to my daughter this February 2011: 9. ALQ CONDO DE LUXE LADIES DORMITORY 926 P.
