It was a surreal walk, like you're back in time. It was peaceful and reflective.

I had my picture taken here prior to the Bar Exams. It was great seeing the arch in all of its ancient glory. This is a testament to UST's resilience and reputation as the first Catholic University in Asia.

There is a tradition wherein students have to enter the arch only during freshmen walk and exit during baccalaureate mass, so they won't fail their courses.
