Hello! I was a CAFS student here in UPLB but currently transferring out to pursue a different path entirely. CAFS-OCS has released my college clearance just a few days ago however I do not have the capability to work my clearance. I am not living or even in near vicinity of the school (I live in Tarlac City currently). And due to conflicting schedule, I will not be able to dedicate a few days in order to stay in Los Baños. Further, there are no guarantees for the people in the signatories. I do have a friend who is currently in UPLB as a CAS student, but he is currently working on their thesis and finals. He barely has anytime to entertain my trouble, sadly. (At most, I only get to talk to him for a few minutes a week-not being sarcastic lol).

For more details please send me a DM here, so I can better explain to you my situation as well as validity of my story (I will provide proof and answer questions if needed).

So what am I getting at? I need a runner-person, who is living in or near UPLB, and has ample time to their schedule to let the signatory people sign my clearance hopefully within the week. There will be compensation as I will be needing time, effort, and possibly transpo fee for this. We can talk more in the DM if interested. Please help me out!

Hi! I’m planning to transfer campuses from UPV to UPLB while staying in the same course, BS Economics. I’m an incoming second-year student, but I’ve been having some doubts regarding the process and my study plan if ever I get accepted. I’m wondering if I would end up being overloaded or underloaded during second year. Since I know my subjects may not perfectly match the prescribed curriculum and I’ll most likely become an irregular student, I’m curious about how my study plan would work in that situation...

Will I be delayed because of the transfer, or is there still a possibility for me to catch up with my future classmates in elbi and eventually return to a regular standing? I’d really appreciate any insights or advice regarding this. Thank you! 🥹

Hi! I’m enlisted as DPWAS for the UPCAT ‘26
My admission to Uplb is still uncertain since the DPWAS season hasn’t even started yet but here I am looking for dorms out of the fear na ‘baka maubusan’

Still, I’m asking for recommendations para hindi na mangangapa when the day comes hehe.

I’ve got my eye on ‘Centtro Hotel and Dormitories’, let me hear your thoughts about it too.

PS. This is somehow my manifestation to get into UPLB hehe.. thank you!

hello po, seniors! genuine question, how did y'all commute with a super huge luggage (maleta + a backback)?

I am from a far province po kasi sa Visayas, and the bus I'll be taking will stop at cubao po. I will be travelling alone bc we really can't afford having my parents w me during move in week sa dorms, kaya concern ko rn is how dahecc am I gonna do it hahahha

are there seniors with the same problem po? Can I ask advices on what to do? plzu. I've tried searching and from cubao to sta. cruz daw (?) then ride a jeep to college (?) hwiskaka will a maleta be allowed to be loaded po sa jeep or am I cooked 🙏🙏

p.s. my parents trust my commuting skills kasi I went to a school 4 hours away from home, kaya I'm used to it xd

Ask ko lang sana ano yung mga kakailanganin na gamit ng mga incoming freshies sa BS Applied Math

Also, need na rin ba ng calculator agad for first semester? If yes, ano yung ma r-recommend nyo? Tyia!

Hi, im just gonna ask lang po.

My sister was planning to study in uplb and mag up owned dorm nalang sana sya since cheap. Thoughts about the dorms? And okay lang ba if di na kami mag check ng back up dorm sa labas? Mataas ba ang likelihood na mag accept ang application nya sa Up housing? Thank you so much!

Hello po. Genuine question po,any idea po about sa aa sports studies sa uplb? Ano mga ginagawa sa mismomg screening for qualifying sa aass?
And also pag po ba na accept sa aass ay kailangan po ba na maging varsity ka ng school or pwedeng student ka lang po. Sana po may maka sagot huhu

Anong prog marami nag ddrop out or shift? Anong usual reason?

Not sure if it’s okay to ask here, pero may nag reco na baka raw the people of reddit might help me better kskaksdkse.

Hello po, incoming freshie here. Just wanna ask lang po ab ur thoughts on the bs compsci and bs mech eng progs ng uplb?
Passed bscs kasi sa elbi and aerospace engineering sa batsu-lima campus–both are my prio progs and campus for both unis nung nagaapply ako.
Pero upon recent contemplations at self reflection, I realized na im more inclined towards engineering, though I think i’ll be okay naman should i pursue bscs–di ko naman kasi sya hate, hehe. prio ko nga sya dati.

I'm planning to let go of batsu na rin kasi natatakot akong ipursue ang lima campus (we’ll be the pioneer batch of that newly established campus kasi if ever).
I’ll try to QA sana to mech eng sa uplb if available pa sa diwa portal, though im unsure pa.
Thoughts nyo po sana? huhuhu.

Tsaka between the two, alin po kaya sa tingin nyo ang mas future-proof? i.e. hindi sobrang hirap makahanap ng career opportunities, not so affected by ai risk, etc. Respect my post po sana:( struggling to choose lang po talaga.

Prev attempt: requested an alumni account years back but it was never set up.
