It took me days before I finally settled to get a condo dorm we found at the back of Mapua.  I believe,I have visited most of the dormitories within the vicinity and most did not pass my standard.  First and foremost, safety and security!  There are dorms that looked okey but  lack fire exit.  I don’t want to compromise the safety of my children to a fire trap like that.    There are some which are new but housed the no. 1 distraction of students – the pool or billiard hall and the computer gaming shop.   There are dormitories that still operates despite their poor, shabby conditions.  I wonder if they can still withstand another Ondoy storm.  They are already rotten old but wise  landlords still open them for rent.

I wanted my children to live comfortably so we decided to get a condo dorm (as they call it), it is a 4 story building quite new, clean and maintained.  We just furnished it according to our taste.  Although, the rent is a bit higher but I think this is much better.
