Tuition Fees...


Recommended Posts

Are you serious?  What bracket?  God! When was this? :P

 

College, less than 5000 for 15 units

Law school, less than 8000 for 15 units

 

Hahaha!

 

Wala pang bracket bracket at that time. Student number ko was 88-xxxxx. :D

 

Wala pang STFAP. Wala pang Tuition Fee hike.

 

Although, during my stay, nagkaroon na ng STFAP at Tuition hikes.

 

Hehehe.....

University of Santo Tomas

BS in Food Technology Program

 

nung nag-start ako sa UST, 18,+++ ang tuition ko. then sa kalagitnaan ng 1st semester nung 1st year ako, humingi sila ng additional 1,+++. nagkamali daw ang accounting dept sa pagcompute ng tuition namin.

 

nung grumaduate ako, 34,+++ na ang tuition namin.

Sa UP ba ito?  Nung ako P6,000 per sem pa lang :)

 

Yup, they increased the tuition to 500 per unit around 2002, if I'm not mistaken. In fact, I heard na in the graduate schools, at least sa BA its 1500 per unit na. Crazy no?

Miss Batibut,

 

UPLB tuition fee ca 1978 (when I was a freshman, innocent and carefree) was PhP 343 for the whole sem, inclusive of matriculation, laboratory, etc. When I did my MSc, the full tuition fee (I think I was doing 12 credits per sem, same university) was PhP 670++.

 

I also lived in a self-help (no janitors) dorm for the princely sum of Php !6.00.

 

Put in perspective, what we're am paying now for my pre-schooler, even adjusted for inflation (my wife did the calculation) would cover the combined cost of our education up to MSc (she did her PhD abroad.

You know someone is from UP because he or she still knows his or her student number by heart.  That was because you student number was the only way to prioritize people during enrollment.

 

Is it still the same in the 90's and 00's when things got computerized?

ganun? di naman ako UP student pero kabisado ko pa ang student number ko simula grade school hanggang college... :P

Off-topic:

 

2002 was the same year I decided to leave Malcolm Hall.

 

So tell me, what section are you in? I belonged to "B" once upon a time. Classmates ko sila **** **** ******* and ****** ********.

 

On topic:

 

8,000 might be a big leap from 6,000, but it's still way below what other law students are paying. During my time, I wanted to study in Ateneo Law but back then it was already 27K per sem, so I enrolled in UP. :D

 

What was crazy was that I had acquaintances who also passed both the LAE and AdMU Law exams but still decided to study at the Ateneo because they could afford the Tuition fee anyway. Sayang yung slots nila. They could have been given to financially-needy students kung meron lang sanang "waiting list" ang UP Law.

 

Has the policy changed? It used to be that there was no such thing as a "waiting list" in UP Law. When prospective freshmen don't confirm their slots in the final lists, the vacancies are not filled up.

I heard about this priority thing in the Iskolar thread. I never heard about it while I was at UP (my loss, I guess). My student number was 79-00***. I had to fight tooth-and-nail to my last UP blood for the slots I needed. No one gave me any favors (or priority), even during my final year. My only "privilege" was that, as a BA student, I could enroll in BA subjects before non-BA students could. In any other unit (such as SE where I took electives), I was just like everyone else.

 

Para hindi OT. In my last year at UP (1984), the students were in an uproar because tuition was set to be raised to something like P500 a sem for a 15-unit academic load, without lab. Among those who were most vocal in complaining were the folks with cars, many coming all the way from the wealthy neighborhoods in south Metro. By then, the complexion of the UP student population was already beginning to change, with the probinsiyanos and the poor folk steadily being edged out, so to speak, by the rich kids, such that parking in this "university of the poor" was already becoming a problem.

 

This situation eventually led to the establishment of the socialized tuition scheme.
