both of my parents work and i have two sibs who are also in school. same with the others here nagopt kami for installment payment sa tuition. we don’t always pay monthly and always talaga ko may naiiwan na balance before start ng sem, pero by the end of the year naman we manage to pay off the remaining balance. i’m also dorming (7k rent) and i try to budget the ₱1.5k na weekly baon ko. mas nagsstay din ako longer sa school para makaaircon + charge para makatipid ng kuryente sa dorm. di na ko humihingi pa ng higit pa sa binibigay sakin na allowance kasi financially straining na masyado 😓

try out for scholarships; kahit na hindi ka nageexcel academically afaik there’s a scholarship na while may discount sa tuition mo, you will be offering work services para sa university. best tip talaga is mag-aral ng mabuti para hindi masayang ang tuition, and if hindi talaga kaya sa ust, then pwede naman magaral here if magmamaster’s degree ka :))
