If you’ve lived in student housing at least once in your life, chances are, you’ve heard some horror stories about it.
Missing valuables, dirty accommodations, and even ghostly sightings—numerous challenges can arise in dormitories. Yet once in a while, there are those that stand out, offering unique and pleasant experiences. While only prayer can save you from an awful roommate, you can take your pick from any of these interesting places to stay at, if you’re a student.
Housing with a heart
Located in Sampaloc Street, Manila, the KKFI Dormitory caters to students and young professionals. Due to its proximity to the University Belt area in Manila, the dorm is ideal for college pupils, board exam reviewees, and transients.

While on the outside it seems like your typical residence, it is made unique due to the nature of its operations. One hundred percent of its income benefits the charity works of the Kapatiran Kaunlaran Foundation Inc. (KKFI), which manages the dormitory and also serves as the social development arm of the United Methodist Church.

Originally, the KFFI Dormitory was an exclusive female residence. It was built by Madeleine Klepper, an American Missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, after World War II. To align the residence with her religious goals, Klepper hosted community activities alongside dormitory services. While one may see students studying in one part of the premises, one would also see other areas catering to the needs of young children, mothers, or the unemployed.
