The University of San Carlos is considered one of the Philippines’ top universities outside of Metro Manila. It is a Roman Catholic university, which is governed by the Society of the Divine Word. It was established in 1935, in Cebu City, Cebu.

The university currently has four campuses: (1) Main Campus, located along P. del Rosario St.; (2) the Talamban Campus popularly called “TC,” which is located along Gov. M. Cuenco Ave.; (3) the North Campus formerly known as “Boys High,” which is located along Gen. Maxilom Ave.; and (4) the South Campus formerly known as “Girls High,” which is located along corner J.
