Hello po! im considering BS Materials Engineering and I’d really like to hear from current students/graduates/workers in the field.
What is your actual experience like after graduating? What kinds of jobs do you usually end up doing, and how flexible is the career path?
Is it practical to pursue in the Philippines, or are opportunities significantly better abroad?
I’m mainly curious about the actual lifestyle and career opportunities, not just what the degree is about. Thank you!

hiii po! im currently asking for advice regarding my campus choices kasi medyo naguguluhan na po talaga ako if i should go for the UPD/UPLB combo or UPLB/UPB combo.

Personally po, i really want to study in UPD, pero at the same time, i also want to be an iska talaga and ideally have a more secured chance of getting into UP. 🥹 For my UPCAT, i think it went quite okay naman po, and im pretty confident with some of my answers. However, nag-aalala po talaga ako abt the competition/rankings per campus since marami rin daw pong nadalian sa exam huhuhuhuhu. For context po my grades from Grades 8–11 are 91, 93, 90, and 91 (from city scihigh jhs-shs)

What would you guys recommend po? UPD/UPLB for the dream campus, or UPLB/UPB for a more secured chance?

i tried thinking abt upd/upb rin kaso same dilemma na if i saw na my upg qualify for uplb pala then id miss the chance of studying there huhuhu (upd and uplb lang po nag ooffer ng prio course ko😢)

id really appreciate any opinions or insights po. Thank you! 🫶
