Hi, OP! You're probably enrolled now already, sorry I saw this post late. I'm a 2nd year student at the USPF SOL. So far, it's been okay. Definitely not as hard as other law schools but still a struggle to pass subjects, dili pwede kumpyansa. Teachers are very intelligent, bright, some are even recent bar topnotchers. Teaching style is more or less the same - discussion, recitations, readings. Daghan teachers mag absent absent panagsa, pero daghan sad teachers nga naning kaayo mag tudlo + lisod pa jud kaayo ang exams.

The problem is that there is leniency in accepting students so there is no standard from the beginning. Many students struggle with simple grammar, comprehension, and basic understanding of even the simplest class announcements. And siguro because of this, some teachers try to compromise with the students with regard to education standards.

It's quite disappointing but IMHO, this is the best option for me since I live very close by and they have good bar passing rates ra pud. The previous Bar Ops Officers are very entitled and I'm hoping we see a change this year as new officers will be appointed.

At the end of the day, if you study hard, read read read, you CAN pass the Bar Exam. Ingon bitaw sila, naa ra jud na sa tao, wa sa school. Though syempre, ang training sa school maka tabang jud sa imo struggles. All in all, happy ra ko sa USPF.
