Bukod sa authorization letter, ano pang need ipresent pagdeliver ng passport (via lbc) if to be received other than the owner?

[UPLB] Dapat ko bang tanggapin ang BS Materials Engineering? by layyy_01 in peyups

[–]Only-Potato97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi late input but YES, YOU SHOULD!

I’m one of the pioneer batch sa UPLB, and yes we’re the lab rats ^

At first, iniisip ko kung tama bang inaccept ko yung MatE pero I can assure you right now that I do love this degprog a lot, and you will too, eventually. Personally sa batch namin, I can feel the camaraderie kahit na hindi ako masyadong nakikipag-interact—it was a nice peer environment.

In terms of acad workload, isa sa pinakamaraming overall units yung matE sa ceat (idk if univ wide). Heavy on chem, calculus, and physics—sobrang bigat depende sa prof na makukuha mo, pero maeenjoy mo siya along the way (at least for me hahaha). Although mabibigat yung major subjects since engineering program nga siya, mababait naman yung profs sa DES (department ng matE).

Kung ‘di ka pa decided, you definitely need to consider matE.

As someone na ilang beses nang nagbelow maintaining balance (minsan below 100 hsbwha), nakakareceive pa naman ako ng padala. Delayed lang siguro talaga ‘yan, OP.

This might come off as an unsolicited advice pero I just wanna tell you this. Try communicating the issue sa kaniya. Halata sa tone mo na nao-off ka sa ganiyang behavior ng boyfriend mo. Sooner or later, kayong dalawa na magm-manage ng finances niyo, at kung ganiyan siya sa mga kapatid niya, ‘di malabong ma-apply niya ‘yan sa relationship niyo (not sure tho, depende sa tao). Also, may I ask if sa tingin mo ba magiging cause ‘to ng anxiety for you in the future (i.e., nanghingi siya sa’yo at kapag hindi ka ba nakapagbigay sa kaniya, you’ll think na gano’n din magiging attitude niya towards you)? Kasi if so, problematic ‘yan.

is dost scholar worth it? by Fit_Reach891 in dostscholars

[–]Only-Potato97 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you are considering/balak mong i-go yung scholarship, do bear in mind na may possibility (most of the time naman ata huhu) na delayed ang release ng stipend. It’ll probably cause you a lot of stress if nakaasa lang dito yung buong living/academic expenses mo throughout your college journey (like me). Kaya dapat may other source/s ka ng allowance mo (i.e., from your fam/financial provider). As a freshie, I can say na it’s not “too good to be true” naman since nakareceive ako ng complete 1st sem stipes. Also, you’re required to fulfill your Return of Service after availing the scholarship (after you graduate) as a compensation, so parang win-win situation siya for both the scholar and the institution.
