UP or Ateneo?

[gianinna07]

I'm having a hard time deciding on which school to choose. Can you guys help me decide?

So far, eto ung mga points na narealize ko.

UP: More freedom (medyo ma-protesta kasi ako at rebelde. HAHA); Low tuition fee
Ateneo: Konti lang kasi ang pumapasa; My dream school; Kaso mahal ung tuition fee

Can you guys tell me how it's like in UP/Ateneo? Co-curricular activities, Orgs, Rules and Regulations, schoolmates, community, environment, etc? HELP. Thanks

Like they said, UP is UP.
Mahirap makapasa, daming nag-aapply, Philippines' best univ.
But kung rebellious ka and tlgng mas gus2 daw makilala ang mundo, dyan ka na.

Ateneo, whoa, my dream school.
Kaya konti pumapasa kasi konti din nag-aapply.
Mahal kc & standards are too high.

Depend it on your course na lang, 'tol.

...at mahirap din makalabas. Haha!


Nasa ganyang situation din ako dati. Now I'm in my 3rd year in UPd. Tingin ko halos pareho lang naman, academically competent pareho. Siguro nagkaiba lang sa schoolmates and environment part. Bilang open na open to the public ang UP campus, dapat wary ka sa paligid mo doon. Haha! I think that helps tho. You'd be streetsmart by the time you graduate.

Siguro maganda kung magkaroon ka ng campus visits, just so you'd know how going around the campuses feel like.

Sa UP samin, andaming nakapasa. Tapos sa Ateneo, ung ibang mga nakapasa ng UP samin, hindi pumasa ng Ateneo. Less than 5 ata pumasa ng Ateneo. Kaya medyo parang naguguluhan ata ako bakit ganun? Haha.

Ang mahirap pa, pareho lang course ko sa kanilang dalawa. :/

Bakit mahirap makalabas?

Thanks for the info! Grabeee. Di ko talaga alam. I guess I'll consider the campus visits some time. But I don't have too much time. Haha. Sana magawa ko.

Hindi lang sa pagpasok at pag-stay natatapos ang challenge. Kasama na rin ang graduation. Haha! Yung iba kasi, nagkanda-gulo gulo na buhay dahil masyadong natuwa sa "academic freedom" na binibigay sa mga students. Ayun, hindi na makalabas ng campus at di na tuluyang nagtapos ng course.

Sabihin mo lang kung dadayo ka sa campus. I'll be show you around! (+ libreng isaw) Haha!

Wow congratulations ! Kasi namimili ka na lang ng school ngayon.

Well, for me... I was in the same position last 2008. I picked Ateneo. It was my dream school too. Although I kind of regretted it at one point, ngayon, I'm really glad I went to Ateneo kahit one year lang.

I studied and lived in the Ateneo (proud dormer !) and it's the best year ! It's a great campus... maaliwalas kasi andaming puno. The buildings are quite far apart though... so running from one class to another was kind of though considering the 10-minute break between classes. Lalo ka kapag magkabilang dulo yung magkasunod mong class.

Wala akong masyadong masasabi sa UP kasi di naman ako pumasok doon. Pero sabi nga nila, it's UP. Matataas standards, maganda ang turo, tapos hindi mahal ang tuition fee. Sa Ateneo, nagkaroon ako ng profs na UP graduates... sobrang nag-struggle ako sa subject nila ! I mean, I think they're tough because they're from UP, which I think is reasonable. Matatalinong teachers pa.

Try going to the Ateneo Open House, tignan mo kung magugustuhan mo yung lugar. Punta ka rin sa campus tour ng UP. Bago ka pumili ng school, tignan mo kung magugustuhan mo yung campus... kailangan gusto mo yung campus kasi doon ka for the next 4 to 5 years.
