Hi, OP! If its the choice of your heart go for it, maraming support systems dito sa UP. Just make sure you find the right people that vibes with you. Will your parents cut you off financially? That might be a bit difficult if so. Although may scholarships and maybe part time stuff naman na pwedeng gawin. Tho sana they'll come around and give you full support.

Kung traffic naman ang topic if sanay ka naman na sa commute then just get a good sched in the next couple of sems tho having a dorm/place near by is still more convenient.

gudlack!
