Incoming Electrical Engineering student ako and gusto ko mag-prepare properly for college life. Goal ko din is ma maintain ang mataas na grades throughout the program pero hindi ko alam anong habits, skills, or mindset ang dapat kong i-build before and during classes.

Start na ako soon sa Electrical Engineering, and alam ko na isa siya sa mga challenging courses kasi heavy sa math, physics, and problem-solving. Gusto ko iwasan yung ma-overwhelm agad sa first weeks/months and gusto ko mag-build ng strong foundation para hindi ako mahirapan maghabol later. Gusto ko rin matutunan paano mag-manage ng time, workload, and stress habang nag-stay consistent sa high grades.

Wala pa akong serious preparation so far. Basic high school knowledge lang sa math and science, and wala pa akong solid study system na pang-college level or engineering workload

do you guys know any school that offers Bs Forensic Science?

I recently skipped the VetMed entrance exam at my hometown state university becauseI don‘t want to see the same people all over again for how many years, I want a new life talaga. So, instead, I’m choosing a fresh start and moving away to take BS Psychology at CHMSU in Talisay so I can learn to live on my own. I feel a huge sense of relief but also tons of career anxiety. For those in the field, what is the realistic job market like for Psych graduates in corporate, HR or clinical roles? Is it normal to feel this scared after choosing passion over practicality?

Because the other mods are not that active, I’ll be implementing a new rule. All posts must have the correct POST FLAIR and USER FLAIR.

A lot of spam posts and users have been infesting our sub since yesterday, so USER FLAIRS and POST FLAIRS will now be mandatory starting today.

Also, make sure to read the highlighted/announcement post especially to those who want their survey post to be accepted.

Thank you

Hi! I'm an incoming accountancy student and i'm looking for a great school bag na pwede paglagyan ng macbook and ipad as well as other accountancy stuff!

Hello, I am a STEM graduate but I’m planning to take BSA. I have already confirmed with them that they do not have a Qualifying Exam and Grade Retention. I know that even without a qualifying exam and grade retention, it will still be difficult because my foundation from SHS isn't strong, but I mean, will it be manageable for me? 😭😭 (badly need help for preparation)

Pumasok ako sa isang Facebook group para mag-share ng survey link, pero puro link din ng ibang estudyante yung nakikita ko. Nagtititigan lang tayong lahat dito. 💀

Gaano kalala yung naging abutin niyo para lang ma-reach yung sample size niyo? Pwede ba talagang manuhol ng GCash para lang matapos 'to?

Genuine question, is it really worth it to pursue a program that you're interested in at the moment over a prestigious school that will somehow increase your credentials in the future?

Hi! I'm an incoming freshman planning to take an engineering program, and I'm having a hard time deciding whether to stay in my hometown or study in Davao (either at ADDU or UM, which is around 5 hours away).

The reason I'm considering Davao is because of the schools themselves and the opportunities/ experience that could come with studying there. It's not really about the city life or having more freedom.

What makes this decision difficult is my family situation. I come from a single-parent household, and my mom is raising multiple children on her own, all of us are still studying. Every day, I see how stressed and exhausted my mom gets trying to balance work and responsibilities at home, so we try to help in anyway we can. More than that, I also want to be there for my family in general, not just for my mom.

I also want to clarify that I don't come from a toxic household, and my family fully supports whichever decision I make. My mom's okay with me staying or leaving for college. She's only worried that I won't be able to handle being alone (which is another factor I am considering).

Part of me feels that if I stay in my hometown, I'd be able to focus more on academics while still helping and being present for my family. But if I move to Davao, I'd have to learn how to manage everything on my own (school, rent, food, health, and finances).

I know staying is probably the safer and more practical choice, but I'm scared I might regret not
taking the chance to study at a school that could offer better opportunities for my future career.

I'd really appreciate any advice, especially from people who also had to choose between staying close to family or moving away for school.

Hello! I recently enrolled in Perps Biñan and had to do the mandatory medical as someone entering a med-related field. Tapos ko na siya. Now, the school asked for me to come by this month for a medical result evaluation alongside my guardian. Is this normal? Or should I be worried? Thank you!

Ito pala yung message:
Good day.

This is Nurse [redacted] of Perpetual Help Biñan University Clinic.

Please be here on [redacted] with your guardian for your medical result evaluation.

Reply with your full name for confirnation.

Thank you.

there's only a few months left before school starts again and i'm really struggling to choose what course to pick 😭 i rlly want dentistry but my other choice is nursing which is quite ok as well... i know both have pros and cons and ppl have said to me that i can be a boss with dentistry while nursing has so many opportunities in abroad though sobrang pagod naman huhu idk what to pick 😭 should i pick passion over practicality or practicality over passion? (my chosen school: university of baguio) pls give me advice po! calling out the med students, ppl who has experience or is quite knowledgeable with these courses or students from ub pls helppppp

Hi! So im looking into ph universities as a fellow SEAsian. Ive recently applied to FEU Manila, but im seeing very mixed opinions on it ? Does anyone have any experience/opinions for the feu bsc applied math (data science specialization)? And is it in english? I worry as i dont speak tagalog

Im also wprried ab the feucat? Some have said its just formality so idk.. and some ppl have said theres stuff ab history and science? Both subjects i dont currently take in school.. idk what to expect. I also have to fly to the PH just to take the exam so its a big commitment for me atleast 😅

im looking for a more open/inclusive community, pref w decent facilities.

And also ones that have applied maths. Because from my research there isnt alot, and id prefer real feedback and opinions from students that have personally been there rather than just reading into their site.

If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know! Im rlly looking forwards to continuing my education :)

Parang soon, depression will took my life. Nad-depress na ako right now, not because of some shallow emotions but because of my academic timeline.

I was reconsidered applicant at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), accepted ako through reconsideration pero hindi priority course yung nakuha ko which is Nursing. They gave me BSED-Eng. They've stated na reconsidered applicants will automatically denied yung LOI, or parang request to change program. So the only option for me is to shift after a year.

Since wala ng other option, as in wala nakong option. PLM was my last resort. We can't afford private schools to pursue my desire to be a nurse. Napaka sakit. Ilang weeks ko ng iniiyak 'to.

Shifting at PLM was never been easy, they said. Uulit ka ng 1st year, I don't mind kahit hindi ko makasabay grumaduate mga ka-batch ko, as long as I pursue the course I wanted. They also told me na walang kasiguraduhan ang shifting process kasi ubusan ng slots. It's a 50/50 chance for me. Risk it or lose it literal.

Maybe for others sasabihin na "ang babaw naman" but for me, it's my future right there. I prepared for Nursing for almost 7 years. Yes, pinag hirapan ko makakuha ng high grades during my Junior and Senior year kasi nga sabi ko priority of state universities are those students who got high grades. I took stem as my senior strand, kahit ayoko kasi I hate math and science — but because of my love for nursing, pinilit ko, tiniis ko, isinam-buhay ko.

And I come to realized, ganito ba talaga maging mahirap? Kahit pangarap mo kailangan mo bitawan. It's more of practicality over a dream. Napaka hirap maging mahirap.

Kaya to those who given the privilege to study, pag butihin niyo. Dahil napakaraming gustong makapag aral.

Hi bibs! Based on the title pa lang alam na agad ang context ng question ko na 'to HAHAHAHA. But, is it possible pa ba na makaakyat sa RSPC even NSPC (parang impossible hahaha)? Nakapag DSPC ako tapos unplaced pa huhu. I started journalism kasi Grade 9 pa lang ako pero na-develop yung interest ko sa journ especially sa field of writing ko which is Column and Opinion.

Kakayanin pa ba?

hi lend me your thoughts here. im leaning more on sa nursing and planning to take med in the future. i have no problem naman if it's the traditional way. parents told me just to follow what my heart says, and tbh irdk... nanghihinayang ako sa slot ko for humbio kasi hellooo hahahaha accel med na yan oh. pero whats confusing me is if i really want to pursue med in the future. kaya naman mas nagllean ako sa nursing kasi may fallback if ayaw ko na magdoctor diba?

Hi, i'm not sure which flair is appropriate but this seems fitting for a rant/vent.

School's starting in a few weeks and I'm still very much nervous for research. Last school year, I managed to successfully defend our proposal with little to no help from my groupmates. One says they can't do much as they have a hard time understanding given how it's their first time, another one keeps making up excuses to not show up for our mock defenses/experiment planning/revisions, and the others simply don't do anything at all. They're always absent, clueless, and reliant on me even though I've tried to reason myself out, talk about them to my teacher, or even threaten to remove their names from the paper.

I don't have that much experience with research as well, and other than that I'm a very slow learner so it's hard for me to catch up at the pace my school + group is going. We were supposed to finish our experiment last school year, but due to unforseen circumstances we had to postpone it and take a special exam instead of presenting the data we have gathered and analyzed.

Now, I don't know what we'll be doing in 12th grade. I don't have any seniors to turn to because I myself am a shy and introverted person who still isn't used to the new environment of senior high, of another school. Our research is plant based, so it's very time sensitive as well. And unfortunately, the plants have only arrived today. I'm not sure what we'll be doing once the school starts, but I genuinely don't know how I can keep this up.

No one is responding to my messages even though we planned to meet up during our break to start and finish our experiment, so I'm left to start alone as to not get left behind once the school starts. Our research teacher is leaving, so we'll be having a new one, and I don't know if they'd be better or worse than our previous as they were mostly absent, made us rely on the internet and AI, and was never free for consultations.

Would I still have enough time to complete our experiment? What if our data is still incomplete when we're nearing our final defense? What do I do with my groupmates? With our paper? My shyness to speak up about it? If advice cannot be given, then I ask for reassurance. I really don't know if I can do this, if I can still put up with my members and the teachers who don't bother teaching. If I am overreacting, then I do apologize and please respect this post as I am asking genuinely.

Im a 15yo student that really wants to earn. I've done selling food at school and doing freelance graphic design but unfortunately not getting clients :(

Hello, I'm currently a 1st year college student taking up medical technology, however I've realized I don't actually like it. So now, I'm looking into ABFS and any ideas on it will be of great help.

First, how is it in terms of job security? I have researched on it and there are many careers fit for this degree, however, realistically speaking, in the country, how is it? And if I decide to take the FSOE, any tips on that?

Second, is it fulfilling? Actually, I took a GAS strand nung SHS and I think because of that, mas fitting itong degree for me than MT.

Third, how do I know if it's right for me? As I've said, currently, first year mt student ako pero I don't feel fulfilled doing it, I am rather miserable and not just because it's hard, it;s given that it's hard, pero I just realized it's not something I'd be happy doing for the rest of my life. But I'm torn kasi I've already spent a year on it but then again, another year is a little sacrifice if I know I will be doing something I truly enjoy.

So please, any thoughts on this will surely be helpful and tysia!

(Not sure if i used the correct flair, lmk nalang)

I've openly told my parents i wanna have a part time once i'm already in SHS because i wanna have my own money and buy things on my own, but they always say that time management is hard and that i might lose focus on school. Fyi, i'm planning to study either in UST & UE, i'm not entirely sure if i'm gonna get accepted sa UST but i'm hoping i would. Some student say na maraming pinapagawa sa UST? Is it really true? Are there any part time shs students here na nagistudy sa UST? Is it really that hard and draining? I wanna have experiences rin kase
