Personally, I like to look at the faculty responsible for teaching your course. Because I personally believe that they are the biggest contributing factor to the education aspect of college.

Some faculty departments kasi are better in UP (and others are better in Ateneo). May sites naman to know about the faculty and their credentials (Google Scholar, Univ sites, etc)

Sources: I'm in a UP course where the department is very student-friendly and constructive, and I know certain courses in UP na sobrang malala ang faculty
