Which is better, UP (University of the Philippines) or ADMU (Ateneo de Manila University)?
I am currently a fourth year high school student in the Philippines. I need to decide which university I will enter once I graduate high school. Please help me decide; give reasons for your answers. Moreover, what are the course specializations of both universities. I am thinking of getting a business or computer-related course.

I'll be doing my best to be not-so-biased. i have great friends from ADMU who really are smart. Smart, which means, they really know how to interact and present themselves to others. They're confident and bold and they can really good in leading. I'm from UP. the thing that distinguishes them from the rest is the way they relate with people from the masses and they really are critical/creative thinkers. If you're pursuing business, you might as well take ADMU but UP is also as good. As for computer-related courses, you go to UP.

You have to determine first which of the two universities you'll pass their entrance exams. If you're a senior high now then probably you already have UPCAT permit (entrance for UP) since examination period for that is about weeks away. If you don't have any UPCAT permit right now then I would say you missed the opportunity of taking an exam at UP right before you graduate. However Ateneo do entrance exams called ACET around November then a second round in January I guess. If you missed that UPCAT permit then you should take the option of going to ACET instead. Or I'll suggest you to try Mapua since it's another leading school (they have IT, Computer Science and Computer Engineering courses). Mapua don't have examination day deadlines, just go there and exams are usually scheduled many times every year. So what's next? Supposed you passed UP and Ateneo exams both how are you going to choose? Foremost think on how much your parents' budget are allotted for your college education. I say of the two, UP has the lower tuition rate. And compared to DLSU, UST and Mapua, UP still has the lowest rate. Both are good schools though. You should always consider the money your parents will pay for college. Suppose you'll have a scholarship. In my experience as a UP student right now budget is always in-demand. Apart from money management I should always manage my time. As you can see it is difficult to study in college with no too much money.
