San Beda College (SBC) is located at San Miguel, Mendiola, Manila is a private school run by the Order of Saint Benedict. It was founded in 1901 to cope with the ever-growing need of the population for education. Started as an all-boys elementary school, it has expanded into opening its College of Arts and Sciences and its College of Law. It also operates a campus in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
Once located in a quiet, middle-class residential area, San Beda College is now part of Manila's bustling "university belt", an irregular crescent curving for about six kilometers through five districts of Manila, containing 26 colleges and universities.
At present, San Beda College has eight departments: the Basic Education Department; the College of Arts and Sciences, which offers liberal arts, science and business programs; the College of Law, founded in 1948, which is one of the top three law schools in the country; the Graduate Schools of Business, Liturgy and Law; the College of Medicine, and the College of Nursing.

The school’s major athletic facilities include the St. Placid’s Sports Complex, the senior football field, the physical fitness room and the swimming pool.

Campus life
San Beda College occupies a 3.5-hectare lot along the historic Mendiola Street in the City of Manila. It is easily accessible by private or public transportation. Along its periphery are situated other colleges and universities, dormitories, shopping centers and restaurants. It takes advantage of the second line of the Light Rail Transit System that passes along the busy Claro M Recto Avenue and Legarda Street.
Though situated at the center of a bustling metropolis near the country’s seat of power, the Malacanang Palace, the school maintains a relatively relaxed, urbane and closely-knit environment among the members of the Bedan community.
Twenty three monks work in the school as administrators, chaplains, teachers and guidance counsellors. Grade school and high school classes start at 7.30 in the morning and end in the afternoon, while college classes start in the afternoon and end at 9.30 in the evening.
The co and extra-curricular activities of San Beda College encourage creative leadership, collaborative management and harmonious empowerment among the students. Each academic department has its own Student Council which closely monitors all activities. To ensure better implementation and relevance to the organization’s constitutions and objectives, student organizations are required to submit and if need be, defend a Student Activity Program-Budget Proposal.
