UST FCL or UP COL?
Hi everybody! These are the top 2 schools I am considering for next academic year and I want to hear your thoughts. For context I took a 2 year gap so save up for LS so finances aside I need your opinion. I also studied in UST for 10 years from JHS, SHS, and College. In law school, aside from studying, I really want to try out of classroom experiences like in LPU Makati they have a legal assistant program wherein students can provide free legal assistance to low income people and marginalized with the support of attys. That’s just a prime example of the things I want to experience because I feel like I will learn more work ethic wise. I want to try out internships during term breaks as well or work for a professor as a research assistant. Here’s my dilemma:
UST FCL
- More comfortable since I know UST already and it will lessen the burden of adjustment. I will only adjust sa law school proper but environment wise, I am comfortable.
- UST FCL is more traditional like SCHOOL SCHOOl talaga. Not working student friendly nga because they want everyone to be regular students.
- Greatest pro are the benefits since under Dean Divina I see a lot of perks like if DL ka or support pag internship or work proper.
UP COL
- The pro here is this is something different. Mas liberating since you can choose the schedule and classes. Own pace compared to FCL.
- Different environment for me so I might grow better here.
- Indifferent pa ako sa no gadgets during first year but I don’t mind.
I’d love to know your thoughts. Thank you! (I’m also eyeing Arellano, San Beda, and LPU Makati as well)
Edit: I appreciate the comments everyone! I do understand that I have to pass the exams first, of course that’s a given. I’m not saying I’m the smartest in the room nor I’m very confident about this. The reason why I’m asking is I’d like to do research and prepare for LS in general so I want to know what I should be looking into. Rest assured I’m not automatically assuming I’ll get in. 😅
