University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City
Standing as one of the largest universities in the Philippines, UP Diliman also has one of the biggest campuses to host their 25,000-something students. Open to both students and the public, the UP Diliman campus, which extends on 493 hectares, is not something to miss in the neighborhood.
Apart from the nice architecture, you can stroll around the Commonwealth Avenue, at the end of which stand the Oblation statue, by national artist Guillermo Tolentino, and stop by the Academic Oval, which connects the rest of the colleges.
The Carillon Tower is also worth a look, as the only carillon of Southeast Asia manually played by a wooden keyboard. Finally, the Sunken Garden is a five hectares field with a basin shape. Its deepest point is at 65 meters above sea level (whereas the university stands at over hundreds of meters above sea level) and it is said to sink by about two inches every year.
