Do your research. I have a friend who was told they would sponsor their child during 4 years of college (books lodging and whatever else needed) When college started thing were different, only 10,000 pesos per year. Now how far does that go. Really disappointed in the person that made the offer to sponsor.
many students get an apartment that is share by 4, that cuts down the accommodations, book fees depend on course.
good luck and follow thru if promised
