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, restrooms, beds are not double deck, have windows, fairly wide wide concrete stairs, parents can call for login-logut 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 s tudying and looking to help my parents budget their money, I’d consider this dorm. Aside from its nearness to FEU and to affordable eateries, the beds are single, the bathrooms and toilets are adequate, and it’s run by a foundation. 2. GLORIETTA DE MANILA

If it’s raining raining and you don’t have an umbrella, you can reach reach the dorm without getting wet. We didn’t time our walk, but I t hink a walk from the FEU’s 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 who’s very pleasant. Concerns: Only a few common bathrooms — my daughter’s main concern. My main comment: If I were a student who’s concerned about my parent’s expenses, I’d choose this dorm, especially if I’m school all the time, and use the school’s facilities most of the time, so I’ll just use the dorm for sleeping and getting ready for school. 4. METRO DORM

Concerns: One has to take a seven-peso jeep ride to and f rom 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, I’d choose this f or my daughter, as the price is just r ight 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

Has reception area and security guard. 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, I’d choose this dorm for my daughter. The building is new and clean with each r oom with a hanging area for wet underwear, fitting my daughter who has allergic rhinitis. 6. QUINCE DORMITORY

Recto Ave. and Legarda, Sampaloc.
We were still looking at other dorms when my daughter’s 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 it’s my daughter’s 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
