UP is different. I have so much respect for people who pass the UPCAT. jologs or not, they have the brains. <br /> <br /> <br /> as for UAP, most of the people i know who go there are there because they didn't pass UP, ATENEO and DLSU ...and the people i know in ateneo who transfer to UAP are those who just can't handle it.<br /> <br /> ...and as for studying abroad, if you won't be studying in an ivy leage school, you might as well stay in the philippines and go for the top 3 schools here. i really don't understand why just the mere thought of studying abroad is such a big deal for filipinos. my friends make such a big deal about people who study abroad --but if you look into it, they just went to some dumb community college. colonial metality, ey. i’m from la salle. as much as i love my school, i would still love to be in UP.

But if you do get into Sarah Lawrence, hmm.. maybe it's more impressive if people know you're educated abroad (but I'm not saying that the schools here aren't good, too). Hey, Filipino culture with regards to this school-education-where-you-go-to issue is virtually unshakable. Oh I forgot to mention that people aren’t deducible to the school they attend.

Frankly, I still am not very comfortable with many of them, but those I made friends with are very accommodating, and I need that thoughtfulness because I don't get to hang with the block all that much so I don't exactly get updates as quick as they do.<br /> <br /> My advice is for you to choose your friends wherever you're going so you won't end up getting screwed with your scholastic-slash-academic life, etc. I guess I'm lucky because no one's boring even if all of us like school. The only thing acceptable as leisure that they do is going to the movies. Most of the time, they're worrying over analytic geom and chemistry. That doesn't mean, however, that I like everyone in the block. Some I consider great, others annonying, and the rest pretty much okay. Oh, there's this one person (subhuman?? no, more like subhumanoid) I really detest. Watch out for social climbing, pseudo-english-speaking, rotten chameleons. The people in UP are actually okay.

Sorry... I also know a lot of people who got into UAP and chose to go to U.P. Oh yeah- Another thing about studying at U.P- since you're exposed to so many different types of people, you learn that everyone is worth respect. Your friends need to learn that, and what it's like to live in the real world because this is where they exist, whether they like it or not.

Coming from UP... that ought to hurt a bit. But the again, people can really be narrow-minded and absolutely superficial. God, that makes me cringe. Though I am not proud of UP's jologs reputation... I've learned to mingle with them. Jeez... the jologs population is relatively small and the conyo population is getting bigger there. It's probably the A-class crowd invasion. And I do agree with Shine's comment. I have more respect for Ateneans than UA&P people. Having airconditioned rooms doesn't make a school any better than others. ;) Ouch.
