Stereotype: University of the Philippines (UP) Students

University of the Philippines (UP) is one of the leading universities in the country. According to topuniversities.com, UP ranked no.380 in QS World University Rankings 2013 and no.67 in QS University Rankings: Asia 2013. Still not bad, right?

How will you describe the students from UP?

Activists.

UP students are known to be kind of radical when expressing opinions about education, politics, and other issues. Well, there are some students who joins rally but they are not forced. They choose (own decision, own will) to be part of the street rally. UP students are not required to be part of it.

 Nerd.

It is important to study because if you fail all of your subjects, you have to say goodbye (permanent dismissal). But hey, UP students have social life. There are other things that UP students do aside from studying. There are lots of organizations to choose from and UP students know how to party.

Weird.

Weird? They have their own world? Maybe, yes. You can see students wearing a very classy look, some are just on their t-shirt-shorts-flipflop combo, others are on their 'not your normal outfit', and a little percent on their sleepwear (?). UP students live near the campus. They can walk from their dormitory to the school building just like that. Also, they spend most of the time together so sharing the same humor is expected. This maybe the reason why they 'have their own world' because non-UP people cannot relate to them. It is also the same for others. 

I just noticed something. No matter what campus you came from, you can relate to others, like sharing same humor and having the same wave length (?).
