10 PH Universities with World-Class Facilities

Have you ever experienced taking an exam in a hot, dusty classroom with the noise from the streets (or a rattling electric fan) making it even more difficult to choose a correct answer?

 

If you have, then you should know that all those little irritants greatly affect the way you learn! In fact, researchers have proven that up to 25% of your academic performance is influenced by your learning environment alone.

 

Facilities in schools– which include classrooms, fixtures, and equipment –play a big factor in determining the quality and efficiency of your education, which is why you might want to consider getting into these 10 universities (selections based on the reviews of both current students and alumni) that strive to provide only the best for their students:
