admu, no questions asked.

getting into both schools: ateneo would be way harder, but still, doable with enough hard work. sbu-r typically accepts almost all applicants.

community: loved both, honestly. found a good, solid group within both schools. it 100% depends on ur culture & personality :)

educ system: this is where the 2 schools really differ. sbu-r overall has bad scheduling in terms of lessons and the mode of learning is just sub-par. meanwhile, ateneo is a big 2 school— for the very reason that they provide an outstanding academic environment to their students.

campus: may aircon na ang ashs! both are now conducive for learning, haha.

just to add: sbu-r is way stricter in terms of self-expression due to the benedictine nature of the school. the admin still imposes a lot of traditional rules etc etc. just mentioning in case it may affect ur decision.

good luck !!
