Frosh Survival Tips

[smaxi]

What to expect in DLSU's Civil Engineering program?

mag aral ng mabuti

[gobbledygook]

Engineering is tough.

Our class was composed of 50 students.

I remember, after the first term, half of the students in my class failed algebra and trigonometry.

After the second term, only 10 of us managed to stay regular students (mostly due to engcal1).

And after the first year, only 6 of us survived as regular students.

After four years in the program, only 4 of us managed to graduate as regular students.

It's tought, but it's doable. You just need to study hard and study smart.

^^ well, makikilala mo agad mga frosh during the 1st week eh. sila yung naglalakad in groups of 10 or 15. haha! flightlessangel if ayaw mo mapansin sa SJ walk wag kayo maglakad as a group.

^ basta sa engineering all I know is masaya doon. puro kayo lalake eh, may magyayaya sigurado sa block ninyo na mag dota/COD/L4D. hehe! pero mahirap 1st year niyo, 10 out of your first 15 units ata puro math subjects.

Ohh ganun. Ako lang naman maglalasalle sa friends ko... halos lahat sila UP or UST. I only know one person na maglalasalle talaga. So wala din talaga akong kasama. I'm on my own which is a bit scary kasi I'm not used to being in a solo flight.

[Weezy F Baby]

Salamat sa mga reply. Okay lang naman sa akin ang math. Pero nagulumihanan ako sa sinabi ng math teacher ko dati.. although hindi direktang sinabi sa akin, pero alam kong sa akin nya yun pinatama.

Sabi nya nun, pag wala daw talagang talent, mag shift na ng course.

E pero naniniwala naman akong lahat ay nadadaan sa willpower; sipag, tyaga, at diskarte. Iba yung tono ng boses nya nun at seryoso siya. Pakiramdam ko kahit willpower hindi uubra unless hindi para sa iyo ang eng'g. )


AJA! Ang ikinakatakot ko lang, drawing. Hindi ako na-bless ng magagandang kamay e. Haha.

Be a an achiever. Maging isang salamin na ang nag-aaral sa DLSU ay malupit. wag mong sirain ang karangalan at pangalan ng Pamantasan.

Sana naman mag-isip tayo...like think two steps ahead naman sana...

Sa tingin mo hindi ka magkakaroon ng mga bagong friends sa DLSU? Hay...how sad...

Uhmm, wala naman po akong sinabi na di ako magkakaroon ng new friends. parang clinarify ko lang sa nireplyan ko na... hindi ako makakasama sa groups of 10- 15. Siguro, medyo konti lang.

[LabuyoXVIII]

GREEAT. So I'm off to DLSU. Back when I was a freshie in high school, we have this "Hall of Fame"... puro bench. Grabeee. Pag dumaan ka dun sobrang nakakahiya kaya todo iwas ako. Lahat titingin sayo. And now na La Salle na ako... meron namang SJ Walk. Lagi na laaaaang.

Teka, eh anong big deal sa pag-daan sa SJ Walk? It's not like everyone is going to stare. Kung iiwas ka ng SJ Walk; dun ka dumaan may Taft side - sa may field. Most of the time, nakatingin sa mga laptop nila ang mga tao sa SJ Walk, so hindi ka din nila papansinin; or during the latter part of the school year, madami nagtitinda ng stuff dun.

Just don't do the things some frosh do. Besides, nasa Andrew pa naman kayo - just try not to bee to noisy along the corridors, while walking in groups (na unavoidable for Frosh); and making a round trip sa elevator.

And even if you try and avoid going in groups of 10 - 15, parang mangyayari pa din ito during the first few weeks of the term.

[i.am.sceptique]

Make the most out of your stay in La Salle!

salihan mo yung trip mong org, association, foundation, corporation, cult and federation....ah basta....you'll gonna learn a whole lot of things that you'll never ever get inside the classroom...

the disadvantage would be you have to file an "excuse" even if it's not an institutional event though!


basta, it's a good-training ground once you get out to the "real world"

The parallel walkway to SJ walk is called "Cat Walk" Dati kasi wala pang cover yon..so the public can see Lasallistas walk from that stretch..para daw mga model kung umusta..so they called it cat walk.

Yes, frosh walking in huge groups is very common. I think it's part of being a frosh at De La Salle. You must experience it and you will (trust me).

Any Survival Tips in the College of Liberal Arts?

[Xena_316]

College of Liberal Arts? uhhm, siguro pansin ko lahat ng mga conyo or mga sosyalin na sa Liberal Arts, obsrervation ko lang naman ang dami kasi ng population. pero mahirap din especially kapag philosophy and political science.

[rick_dc]

Liberal Arts ba kamo? Expect na magiging suki kayo ng photocopying centers. Hahaha. MADAMING reading and writing activities. Bihira ang objective na quiz, puro ESSAY! And minsan, demanding pa ang prof!

Siyet, hindi pala talaga sila maiiwasan.
Sana lang maayos naman maging kaklase kong ganito.

I assume lahat naman mahirap.

Expected ko na ang reading at writing and LOTS of it.
Nabigla lang ako sa photocopy, anu-ano yung mga yun?
Sa mga essay type of test, sana lang gumana ang "re-routing" technique ko kapag kinakailangan talaga.

[Jiggy Boy]

Marami kang ipapaxerox na required readings para sa book report, reaction paper, term paper, etc.

[lneliouchiora]

Hindi ba pwedeng i-send nalang ng mga prof yung soft copies nun sa email para less hassle, less paper, less trash?

Sa Liberal Arts kasi, halos ng mga elite nandon, artista, varsity, athlete, celebrity, etc...wala lang pansin ko lang.

About doon sa photocpying, halos lahat naman ng colleges kailangan magphotocopy. Last term everyday ako nag photocopy, 100 pages per day para basahin if ever kung ayaw mong bumili ng libro. And sa Liberal Arts, kailangan maganda ang communications skills mo especially when reporting and of course dapat critical thinker..

Mag-advance reading ka na sa mga introduction sa anthropology, political science, psychology, philosophy, sociology, global society etc..dahil yan ang mga general or floating subjects kapag C-L-A frosh...

some profs do, some profs don't.

[lneliouchiora]

some profs do, some profs don't.

Hmm, we'll have to try and convince those who don't then.

Elite?
Sana lang eh maayos sila, kahit yung iba lang.

100 PAGES?? PER DAY??
Eh 'di ang gastos naman ng pag photocopy! 100 pesos din yun ah! (assuming na piso ang 1 page). Magkano ba usually ang mga libro? Parang mas practical ata libro nalang.
Madalas ba ang reporting? Madalas ba Group or Individual? *sana Individual*.

Noted. Mas mabuti na may background.

50 cents lang ang photocopy sa DLSU 1peso is too much

BTW hindi ka basta basta nagcoconvince na email sent ang mga papers kailangan talaga hard copy Kung ano sabihin ng prof yun na yun
