Why I am in UP

Jan 10, 2009 20:00

I’ve been talking to my Lourdes kids these past few days about near-graduation dilemmas, like if they should continue to pursue debate in college, what course they should take, and of course, the biggest question of which university should they choose.

I was so sure that day.. "Ateneo is the school for me." I went home, opened this hell of a blog post then.. lo and behold.

Back where I started. Dilemma.

I'm already happy enough that at least, I'm able to make you think twice. What I'm just saying is that the choice for a uni should be really assessed very carefully and holistically. As the classic uni debate argument goes, "unis perform social functions". LOL. That, I think, is something that is almost always being taken for granted.
