The Exchanging Universities
On this page, you will learn more about my sending university from the Philippines and the receiving university that welcomed me in Indonesia.
Home University:
Saint Louis University
Saint Louis University, abbreviated as SLU, was founded in 1911 by Rev Fr Séraphin Devesse, CICM, when he established a one-room elementary school in Baguio for ten local boys. From these humble origins, Saint Louis School began. In 1955, the graduate-level programs of Saint Louis College were granted recognition. Still, the real turning point came on 13 May 1963, when Saint Louis College was conferred University status by the Philippine Government.
