drastically
Isn't cool to be called "Iskolar ng Bayan"? Well for me it is far from being great. Now that I am actually one, I can testify that U.P. is a good university.
Finally I have reached my wanting of studying in our state university. It was something worth considered as a fulfillment on my part. Some may be wondering why I decided to leave my former school given that it is also a good university. What I can only say is that the training I am actually getting right at this moment in my new school is totally different from what I have experienced before. I can say that so far, the way of educating the students (that is the teacher to student interaction in class) was just similar. Professors give that fearless look during the first meeting, telling the students how strict they could be and assuring the students to get the grade they deserve, which was also the case in my former school. The crowd? How different could they be? Not that different actually. Only that the campus is open to the public that means people from all walks of life roam the university. But those people who are "fashionistas" and those who are "nerds" exist also in UP.
What struck me most was the enrollment, or should I say enlistment of subjects. I have to tell you all that it was the most challenging part for all of the transfer, and also the freshmen (those who needed to line up) students. I was culture-shocked! Before in my old school, students do not have to perspire that much to get into one subject. But now, it was like a requirement for each student to be overly perspiring, smelling and toasted because if the heat. Yes my friends, we have to line up for each subject just to get in. Too bad if there are no slots left for you. Better luck on the next subject you would line up to. And guess what, not all subjects are located in one building, some are in other parts of the university! Just imagine the size of that campus. Good thing there was the UP-IKOT and UP-TOKI to help us go around. Do other universities have that? Definitely not!
Anyway, I am sure that by now, you may be asking if I am really happy with what I have now. The answer, yes. I am happy. And as long as there are people around me who would be most willing to guide, support and love me, then I believe I could survive this chapter of my life as a maturing teenager.
