So true, puro aral ang pinag-aatupag nila pero heto naman kung ang bata ay sobrang kulit, sa st jude sya nababagay. 101% guarantee titinu ang bata.
+1, they are the smart people but not street smart as Xavier or ICA. karamihan ng taga xavier walang laman ang utak (no offense ah) pero street smart sila. yung mga anak ng pulitiko, business tycoon etc... dyan sila pinag-aral ng kanilang magulang. they do busines tru connections pag graduate sa college . ang mga connections nila yung naging classmates/schoolmates din sa xavier na mga anak ng mga pulitiko, business tycoon etc...

If you are planning to send your child to an expensive school, aside from the quality of education, look at the facilities also. Kung yung buildings, classrooms, library, computers etc... ay napaka luma na, nagpapataba lang ng bulsa yung mga may-ari.

Wala namang mawawala bro if pagtake mo siya ng NCE. Pwede siya sa uncle niya or sa dorm ng Pisay. Iba rin kasi buhay intern, they learn to be independent really early. Although sa pagiging extern, natutuo ako magcommute sa kung saan saan, regardless kung bumabagyo or bumabaha. Matututo ka rin talaga.
Depende sa tao yan - in my batch, there were really some people who had to study a lot to stay afloat. Yung iba naman, matatalino talaga so petiks lang pero gumraduate. Yung iba, matalino and masipag and usually these are the ones who graduate with honors.
As far as I remember, I never had to pay tuition. I also had free books (you just borrow books from the school then return at the end of the year). But by far, the best part is the stipend - P1,500 per month. Of course, I didn't know how to handle money back then, so I ended up buying a new phone every few months instead of saving and investing the money.
Good luck to your kid bro, I hope he gets in! BTW, who were the notable teachers back in your day? I'd assume Ma'am Caintic, Ma'am Bernal, Sir Cips, and the like were already institutions even way before you started hehe.

I have a different experience with XS/ICA graduates. In our batch, mas achiever di hamak ang mga XS/ICA kaysa St. Jude. If they're not gunning for latin honors, they're org leaders, or perhaps even both.
The ME summa cum laude and batch valedictorian that graduated this year was from XS. 3.99 QPI (4.00 max). He was also active in our org (MEA) and ACLC so he isn't a one-trick pony.
Tiffy Uy, UP's valedictorian, is from ICA, and made headlines for having the highest GWA in post-war history. These people aren't exceptions, a lot of the XS/ICA grads I know really do well in college.
As to being street smart, not all of them are (especially ICA girls). They have sheltered lives, which they don't have to break out of since Ateneo is equally utopian. But there are some who really turn out to be good leaders and are able to maximize their connections. You can't expect them to have the same diskarte as people who came from lower economic backgrounds, but they have their way of getting things done.
