UP Town Center (Katipunan, Quezon City)

The UP Town Center Mall is not an extension of UP Diliman and Ateneo. But its proximity from these schools makes this mall an ideal destination for students to hang out after a grueling day at school.  Favorite comfort foods, the latest brands of clothes and school supplies are all here just like in any other mall. But what set this mall apart from those gigantic malls along the traffic-riddled EDSA is its greens and plenty of open spaces.  

The two-story buildings create a very laid back atmosphere where there is easy access to a natural environment. Moving around the whole mall is literally a walk in the park.

In a highly urbanized Metro Manila where steel and concrete are common, it is a cool respite to be in a place where there are trees and plants. The greens create that atmosphere of calmness and relaxation. 

UP Town Center Mall is indeed very student friendly and can provide that atmosphere soothing for intellectual contemplation while not foregoing the desire to go shopping.
