One of my best friends is also from Baguio, covered naman ng scholarship niya yung stay niya in Kalayaan Dorm in UPD

They usually give dorm slots to those from the provinces talaga para hindi hindrance ang lodging to study in UPD.

3k per month is just for college education.

When I ran the numbers, it’s about 40k per month per child for education, food, clothing, and other miscellaneous expenses.

So to raise a child for 20 years total cost is around 10M per child.

OT: Nagtanong nga ako sa mga may anak na colleagues ko.. 40k per month din yung estimate ko, pang baby lang na budget.. gatas, diaper, vaccine, check up atbp..
Kaya importante talaga may partner, hindi lang sa financial.. sa lahat!! di talaga biro mag-pamilya..

EDIT: OT na naman reply ko.. [emoji28]

If I had known back then, I'd probably pushed to study there haha. Wala pa akong alam sa buhay nun

Another reason I wasn't able to go was that my mother thought I'd be activist or join a frat while I'm there. lol stereotypes

That's why I will never choose to be one (unlike my friend hehe)

Yup, that's true. I have a daughter in college at ganyan range and it's draining our bank accounts lol. A masakit lang sa loob eh the tuition is increasing each year at mas mahal pa ngayon na online learning kaysa yung face to face before the pandemic. Parang you are getting less but paying more.

Wag na sa ateneo papasukin anak niyo baka "bugbog o dignidad" ang mangyari. [emoji23]

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

I’d spend the extra for ADMU/DLSU than spend a lot for UST but not have the same job prospects.

From my experience, UP/ADMU/DLSU grads get far better job offers than typical UST grads.

Depends on the course

But generally if they both have the course, Ateneo would be better (arguably except Med)
