Ateneo? La Salle or U.P.?`

i will have to stick to my alma mater as well since it is the only school listed among the choices that i had gone to. even if the quality of education here in the philippines is degrading, UP still stands with the highest rank among all the schools. last night's documentary on GMA, shows that up is somewhere in the 250th (please correct me on this, anyone) rank compared to la salle and ateneo who have lower ranks among the top 500 schools in asia (correct me again please). with the rigid testing that we had to go through, the UPCAT can really filter the ones who can enter and survive in UP community.

I would surely agree with you that La Salle is indeed a good school My three sons who are now professionals are graduates of La Salle. I however, came not from La Salle but from Iloilo School Of Arts and Trades,a technical and vocational school run by the giovernment in Iloilo City. And if you ask me about my choice, then it would be pretty obvious between the three whom I would be biased to.

those universities are great. I want to study in Manila but my dad gave me a choice, baguio or go back to the US. I chose Baguio, i i dont want ti go US, in fact i am now studying in the SLU, my course is political science. I will be a second year college student this june. I guess i will just take my Law course in one of those universities, still dont which of them though.

aww.. why is UST not included in your list? I am a student of the University of Santo Tomas. They say its for the middle level person, for the ones who are not rich and not poor, just right. Now, I can say that its wrong. Totally, definitely wrong. The tuition there right now is very expensive. I must say. We are not rich and they have this 20% increase in tuition fee. Heck. I don't want to stop studying because of this fee increase. It just states that EDUCATION IS FOR THE RICH. Even the University of the Philippines has increased its tuition fee. They must have free schooling since they have no money and they really have the brains. I hate those tuition fee increase. They reason out that "tuition fee increase is for the quality of education too, its for your own benefit" what's the difference between a low tuition fee and high? well the low means less problems a student can have while the high tuition fee includes, the problem on where to get money, if the student will still pursue his or her studies or what. I wish senator Chiz can do something about this. ;) [so much emotions on this post he he!]

Oh, Ms. Joan.. You are hurting my feeling with this discussion of yours. I am a graduate of the University of Santo Tomas. Don't you think that UST should be included among the three? Is UST not that popular and known at all? Is UST not a good school/university too? Yes, you are right, they are indeed good schools with great track records/achievements, but UST is definitely one of the leading universities as well. As a matter of fact, with regards to sports, UST has been the Number One overall for the last four years. UST has been involved into researches, developments and studies as well. I have nothing against those other schools, as a matter of fact, my TEAM Leader here is LA SALLISTA herself, and her bf is a professor in La Salle Taft too. My other officemate is from UP. She is the one who speaks French around here. My QA is from UST as well. Philosophy Major. My other co-worker is from UE. We are quite the colorful bunch around here. All with good qualities. All the same in the end. UST, Ateneo, La Salle, UP??? Where are you from?

all of the schools listed are great.. i have passed entrance exams in U.P., La Salle, and UST.. but yet I don't know where to study...

I CHOSE UP!! as i graduated there

I'm not sure about it. I know that those Universities were the best from the rest. You're one of the lucky citizens of the Philippines because you're able to have your studies with La Salle. I finished my college with Caloocan City Polytechnic College, surely you have not heard this school yet. But I'm still happy because I've given the chance to take the College degree. I've dream of studying with those Universities but never come true, sigh.. Anyway, it's nice to meet someone smart like you here.

I think it is still Ateneo de Manila University :)

i think it would be UP. why? because people there are not 'boxed'. i am a UP student. trying hard not to brag though. and culture is very diverse. seriously, it would be really weird if you don't find your place there.

Why not add UST as one of the best schools?

Why not add UST as one of the best schools? If I were to choose, I'd go with UST no matter what!!!

Since I was a graduate of UP, I will choose UP then! I love my school so much. If you're looking for a quality education, enroll in UP. UP astig! hehehe :D I'm really proud to be an iskolar ng bayan! :D
