Far Eastern University

In this institution, we have the facilities and the means of imparting thorough university training. Our faculty is strong. Our plant is complete. Our scholarship is of the highest order. Our athletic and recreation facilities are adequate.
But, as you know, all that we can do to help you is only half the process of training you. In the long run, your university education's essential factor will be how hard you yourselves work for that education. Our teachers – among the country's most competent in their respective fields – will be quite helpless if you fail to apply yourselves adequately to your studies. In any institution of learning, the student gets any what he works for and nothing more. It would help if you decided at the very start to work so hard that you will take every possible advantage of the opportunities offered you here. After all, the hard-working university student is not only working for high grades. At the same time, he is laying down his foundation of knowledge upon which to build all his life long and acquiring the habit of giving the best in him to the job he undertakes.
A college student who fails to do this two-fold thing fails to acquire for himself the only lasting gift that a university can give. So let us all work together, keep faith together. And out of our everyday hardships and our ordinary achievements, we shall build greatness and create loyalty for our alma mater.
The FEU campus teems with various student activities. There are 56 active student organizations in FEU, under the Office of the Student Affairs and the FEU Central Student Council or FEUCSO that fill the school year with numerous co-curricular projects. In this aspect, FEU is different from other universities since full management support is given to relevant student-initiated programs. Besides traditional activities such as general assemblies and team building activities, student organizations initiate other student-centered activities such as fairs, concerts, weekly performances, symposia on current and relevant issues, seminars, workshops, contests, and other projects in support of university-wide events.
Amid the fun and excitement generated by these programs, student organizations do not forget to support community outreach programs that benefit less privileged members of society. This, among other initiatives, makes for a complete and dynamic student experience through co-curricular activities.
