Here are the top cafés near 3D ACADEMY, all located inside or directly in front of JY Square Mall:

Why cafes matter for student life

Cafés are more than just places to drink coffee—they are social hubs, study spaces, and places to unwind after a busy day of language lessons. Being able to walk from class directly to a café adds richness to your study abroad experience.

At 3D ACADEMY, the proximity of cafés helps students:

• Hold casual study sessions with classmates

• Recharge during breaks

• Discover local food culture

• Celebrate small milestones or birthdays

• Get out of their dorm room and into a new space

These little routines go a long way toward making Cebu feel like home.

‍♀️ Staying active and balanced during study abroad

Studying abroad can be mentally and emotionally demanding, especially when you’re adjusting to a new country, language, and daily schedule. That’s why having a fitness outlet and casual hangout spots is essential.

3D ACADEMY students often share that using the gym and visiting cafés becomes part of their healthy weekly rhythm. For example:

• Go to the gym before breakfast to wake up

• Reward yourself with coffee after a tough class

• Use the café as a casual English practice space with new friends

It’s not just about the amenities—it’s about building positive, sustainable habits while abroad.

What about students staying in hotel-type dorms?

Even if you’re staying off-campus in one of 3D’s hotel-style dormitories, you’re still welcome to use the gym and mall café facilities. In fact, most of the hotel dorms are located within walking distance of JY Square, so these spots remain easily accessible no matter where you’re living.

And of course, meals are still provided at the school, so students can come in for breakfast or lunch, hit the gym, grab a drink, and attend classes—all in one trip.
