Indeed, Tuguegarao City is not only the seat of Catholicism being the Archdiocese but also the center of education. One proof of this is having the Cagayan State University. In my city tour, I only walked from St. Paul University Philippines to Cagayan State University (CSU). But mind you, I did it under the searing heat of the sun as Tuguegarao is noted for being the hottest place in the Philippines.
CSU Main Campus is known as Andrews Campus which is just one of the university’s 8 campus and the biggest one is the Carig Campus located on a 19.8 hectare land area which houses seven colleges offering 24 undergraduate program in the arts, agriculture, natural sciences, and technology.
Andrews campus is very welcoming. It has concrete benches and tables where students and teachers alike can study or relax under the giant shady trees. Comfort rooms were well-maintained. I can also see some tourists roaming around there.
