there are several reasons why they do not proceed to UP.

loyalty to one's alma mater.
peer pressure.
malayo sa bahay.
dorm expenses, atbp.
scholarship offerings by competing university.
perceived culture shock, from the student or from the relatives.
non-Catholic atmosphere.
and in our case of medical students, walang pang-matricula, pang-aklats, pang-uniporme, pagkain sa araw-araw, tirahan ('ciano, 'ika nga. heh heh)! advice namin, "hijo, mag enrol ka na. hahanapan ka namin nang iskolarship."
