Student review [#59212] for Secondary Education
at Polytechnic University Of the Philippines - PUP

Like any other aspiring students, I too, saw PUP as one of the best universities. Mainly due to a few of my cousins had gone there and I heard stories of how fulfilling it was to be a part of this university. They were right about so many things, and I certainly wasn’t surprised about what its lacking as my expectations were properly set. Generally, I’d like to believe that I still received a higher quality of education compare to other state Us. However, I also know that there were professors who could have provided the education their students deserved. I know that whatever skills and knowledge I have now were honed over the course of my stay in PUP. This is where I built my confidence, obtained a certain level of competitiveness, and the natural urge to deliver your best. I studied alongside very intelligent people, and there’s the feeling that you don’t want to be the dumbest person in the room. So, this aspect pushes you to study more.

My college experience just really forced me to be independent but at the same time, not to be too cool to ask for help.

I can say that PUP pushes you out of your comfort zone, enlighten you to some of very controversial discussions and not be a uncultured swine.

It’s not a perfect university. Like any other government-owned schools, it’s lacking in structural development, the facilities are just not very student-friendly, and frankly speaking, not an ideal and comfortable learning environment. So, you tolerate what you can until you graduate.

Nonetheless, my overall experience in PUP is still one of the best because it’s the perfect combination of good and bad. Up to this very day when I meet a fellow Isko/Iska, I love exchanging stories and finding common ground in our experiences. PUP all the way!
