Intersubjectivity

Our university offers only double degree bachelors. That is the most interesting and frustrating thing that could ever happen to you. On the one hand, you only get half knowledge of everything, our professors cant teach us deeply during one course and the two faculties make you change your mindset every class. But on the other hand, you can dive into topics deeply thanks to the open structure, I learned how to think interdisciplinary and I learned how to think critically even in the discipline I study. Erfurt is an amazing student city and even though the university itself can be very unorganized, everything works out somehow because we have a very helpful climate with each other. Studying at Erfurt was honestly one of my best decisions.

Experience in UCB

y time in UCB has been one of the most memorable and precious parts of my teen life. It was where I experienced so many firsts—new friendships, challenges, and moments that shaped who I am today. Every day brought something new to learn, not just in the classroom, but about life, people, and myself. UCB became more than just a place to study—it was a space where I grew, laughed, stumbled, and stood back up. Those years will always hold a special place in my heart, a chapter filled with growth and unforgettable memories. uring my time as a senior high student at the University of Cebu Banilad campus, I learned how to be flexible and adaptable. Balancing academics, responsibilities, and personal life wasn’t always easy, but it taught me the value of time and resilience. Along the way, I met new friends who stood by me through every high and low. They’ve become some of the people I treasure the most, turning ordinary days into unforgettable ones. With them, I discovered not just how to manage life, but how to enjoy it fully—even in the busiest moments.
