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.

waaa.. pareho tayo.
hindi rin ako makapagdecide kung UP or Ateneo..ang hirap. :|

ano pala course mo?

[kjezabala]

I chose Ateneo because I really wanted to go there. I passed five schools but Ateneo lang talaga ang sinisigaw ng puso ko. LOL. I did not want to go to UP din kasi. It was either Ateneo or DLSU. Also, Ateneo is just 15 minutes away from our house. I am also enjoying a full scholarship here, unlike in DLSU na half lang. Tsaka I really love the environment and the people. Lovely. <3

wow! Ateneo's my dream school. Sana makapasa ako sa ACET 2010 :| how was it? mahirap ba talagang makapasa? as of now, nagrereview ako sa LSC. Ang hirap. Haha. Sana makatulong. Sinisigaw talaga ng puso ko, makapasok ng AdMU e :| Pero d ako kasama sa top ng batch namin or anything kaya kinakabahan ako. Average lang ang grades ko. Tingin mo, may pagasa kaya akong makapasa? :|

[kjezabala]

Hi lovely! Of course you'll make it. Puso lang. I graduated with 8th as my rank. Our 1st (or 2nd?) honorable-mention also took the ACET, and she did not pass. Some students also took the ACET, and I was the only one in our batch who passed the ACET. Siguro sobrang dedicated ako sa pagrereview ko for ACET. Wala akong pakialam sa ibang exams, ang importante sakin nun eh mapasa ko ang ACET. I spent all my nights reviewing for ACET, napabayaan ko na nga studies ko nun eh. Kasi, naalala ko yung sinabi ng teacher ko nun. "MAS IMPORTANTE AND PAPASUKAN MO SA COLLEGE KAYSA SA PAG-AARAL SA HIGH SCHOOL, KASI SA HIGH SCHOOL, PWEDE KANG MAG-ARAL 5 MINUTES BEFORE AN EXAM. SA COLLEGE, YUNG 2 ARAW MO NA PAG-AARAL, KULANG PA. :|"

LOL. Kaya mo yan. ACET is the most challenging and the most difficult to pass, most difficult to pass than the UPCAT, kasi sobrang unti lang ng pinapasa sa ACET. DO GOOD, GIRL.

[palmahall.up]

depende na rin sa course mo...

and i agree na mas mahirap makapasa sa ACET...

kasi sa upcat may mga sitch pa na pwede ka pumasok kahit na bumagsak ka..pero sa ACET kasi wala na (sa pagkakaalam mo)

[kjezabala]

I agree. I have many friends before who took courses and campuses that are very easy to pass. For example, most of them went to UPB because the cut-off is lower than UPD. They all transferred to UPD the next year.
