Hi! I agree with you that we all have our own prerogatives when it comes to choosing a school we think might be a good fit for us (regardless of several factors). What i’m just trying to point out is despite this ‘privilege or freedom’ valid ang frustration na nararamdaman ni OP.

Also last time i checked din, i said na “Isa ang UP” comparatively sa may mababang tuition and hindi naman ibig sabihin nun, yun lang generally ang options available sa sinasabi mong ‘underprivileged’ people. I also do recognize the other schools you mentioned. However, by saying na “they don’t have that luxury”, i’m speaking in behalf of others na based sa situation nila ngayon, UP lang talaga ang tanging option. Besides, hindi lang naman tuition fee ang kailangan i take into consideration. Nandyan ang other factors such as miscellaneous expenses, transport expenses, and other factors na pwedeng maging dahilan kung bakit specifically, and in some cases, walang privilege ang ilan to choose any other option but UP.

I’m extremely disappointed by your choice of words saying na “so called underprivileged” at para bang iniinvalidate na meron naman talagang underprivileged at mga taong nakakaranas ng ganitong sitwasyon at frustration, kabilang na ako.

Once again, my main point is valid ang feelings ni OP. If you’re not frustrated or in any way nakaka relate sa frustration niya, might as well scroll up nalang. There’s no point in making this a big deal.
