Yes\u2014clean and safe drinking water is provided<\/strong> at 3D ACADEMY. You don\u2019t need to worry about purchasing bottled water every day or carrying heavy jugs back from the store. We understand that access to drinking water is an essential part of student life, especially in a tropical country like the Philippines.<\/p>\n To make hydration easy, safe, and convenient, the school provides water dispensers<\/strong> in multiple locations throughout the campus.<\/p>\n The school uses hot and cold water dispensers<\/strong> (also called water servers) that are regularly maintained and refilled with purified drinking water. This water is:<\/p>\n Safe for drinking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Refilled by professional water delivery services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stored in clean, closed systems to avoid contamination<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Each dispenser provides:<\/p>\n Cold water<\/strong> \u2013 perfect for refreshing drinks during hot days<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Hot water<\/strong> \u2013 ideal for making tea, coffee, or instant noodles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n You can find water dispensers in all key areas of the school, including:<\/p>\n Classrooms and study halls<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \ufe0f Dormitory floors (on-campus)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \ufe0f Cafeteria and buffet lounge<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u200d Teacher and student lounges<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Near restrooms and waiting areas<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This means that no matter where you are\u2014studying, relaxing, eating, or heading to class\u2014you\u2019re never far from clean drinking water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yes, we highly recommend that students bring their own reusable water bottle or tumbler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n You can refill easily throughout the day<\/p>\n<\/li>\n It saves money (no need to buy bottled water)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n It\u2019s more environmentally friendly<\/p>\n<\/li>\n You can keep water cool or hot, depending on your bottle<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Many students use insulated bottles (500\u20131000ml) that can be filled in the morning and topped up during breaks.<\/p>\n If you forget to bring one, you can easily buy one nearby at:<\/p>\n 7-Eleven (inside JY Square Mall)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Supermarkets in Ayala or SM<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Daiso, Don Don Donki, and other lifestyle stores in Cebu<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Yes, the water from the dispensers is filtered and purified<\/strong>, and regularly replaced by trusted suppliers. It is safe for:<\/p>\n Daily drinking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mixing with powdered drinks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Preparing instant meals (e.g., ramen or soup)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Making coffee or tea<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n However, tap water in the Philippines is not recommended for drinking<\/strong>, especially for foreigners who are not used to the local water treatment systems. That\u2019s why using school-provided water dispensers is the best option.<\/p>\n Students living in the on-campus dormitories<\/strong> or partner hotel-type dorms<\/strong> also have access to clean drinking water. In most cases:<\/p>\n On-campus: Water dispensers are installed on each floor<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Hotel dorms: Bottled water or dispensers are provided by the hotel OR students can refill at school during the day<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n For students staying off-campus (Walk-in Course), we recommend checking if your residence offers water refills, or making use of the school\u2019s water during class hours.<\/p>\n Some students prefer to take extra steps, especially if they have sensitive stomachs or are staying long-term. In that case, you can:<\/p>\n Use the hot water function<\/strong> from the dispenser to boil your water<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Bring a small portable water filter<\/strong> (optional)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Use commercial bottled water<\/strong> available at local shops (cheap and widely available)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n But for most students, the school\u2019s purified water is more than sufficient, and used daily without issue.<\/p>\n In Cebu\u2019s warm and humid climate, it\u2019s important to stay hydrated\u2014especially since you may be walking, studying intensively, or participating in afternoon activities.<\/p>\n Most students drink:<\/p>\n 1.5 to 2.5 liters per day on average<\/p>\n<\/li>\n More if doing exercise or walking outside in the sun<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Less during cooler rainy days, but hydration is still key<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Keeping a bottle at your desk or in your bag helps you build healthy hydration habits.<\/p>\n No. Drinking water from the school dispensers is completely free of charge<\/strong>, and included as part of your campus amenities. There\u2019s no need to pay or request permission\u2014you can refill as often as you like.<\/p>\n The only time you\u2019d need to buy water is:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re out exploring the city<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If your residence (off-campus) does not offer free water<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If you want specific types (e.g., flavored water, mineral water, sparkling)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Even then, bottled water in the Philippines is very affordable\u2014around 10\u201325 pesos (25\u201360 yen) for a 500ml bottle.<\/p>\n Staying hydrated is a vital part of your health and learning performance. At 3D ACADEMY, we take care to ensure that clean, free drinking water is always available<\/strong>, so you can stay focused, refreshed, and comfortable throughout your day.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re sitting in class, relaxing in the dorms, or grabbing lunch in the cafeteria, there\u2019s always a water dispenser nearby. Just bring your bottle, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n In a new country, these small comforts make a big difference\u2014and we\u2019re here to make sure your basic needs are always met.<\/p>\n \u3054<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7293,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meals-facilities"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
