Ateneans: snobbish?

[talkplaylove]

^Uhm, my guy workmate, who is also from FEU.

Haha, I meant I was talking about FEU students in my post, tas sabi mo 'speaking of FEU girls'. But I wasn't speaking of any FEU girls (walang gender yung tinukoy ko sa post ko, haha) v

[c0itus_p0gi]

^Oh sorry, I thought you were asking who told me about what I knew about FEU girls. My bad.

[i_bleed_blue]

Exactly. Tulak na lang sila maputik na Belfield. Haha


Basta, hindi kanaisnais ang generalizations na ganyan. I met three people from FEU, they were all rude but I don't hold that against the rest of the FEU population.

(Kwento ko kasi jirita pa rin ako hanggang ngayon! HAHA Asa VIP lounge kami sa Amber; friends sila ng isang friend ko (Friend 1). Tatlo sila, tas si Friend 1, ako at si Friend 2. That night lang namin nakilala ni Friend 2 yung FEU students. Nagutom kami ni Friend 2, so nag-order kami ng pagkain na paghahatian namin kasi mahal. Nung dumating, kinain nung tatlong taga FEU yung inorder namin, di man lang nagtanong muna kung kanino yung food O_O Napatingin lang kami ni Friend 2. Tapos nung sinabi sa kanila ni Friend 1 na order namin ni Friend 2 yun, hindi man lang nag sorry or thank you or nag-offer magbayad yung tatlo. )

for some odd reason, i've had bad experiences with FEU peeps also... but i do have 'friends' from feu na vibes ko naman, so yeah... i guess you can't generalize, really...

Yikes, I have a good friend from FEU who is an outstanding student over there (although graduate na siya).

Diba we have this stereotyping among universities like mga taga Ateneo ay mayayabang, UP mga aktibista, DLSU mga elitista, etc. According to my friend, ang stereotype daw sa kanila (among the univs in the belt) ay social climbers. Grabe lang

and i thought that was...

but really, stereotypes are there because to a certain extent, there is truth in it, pero hindi siya dapat ginegenealize to the whole population... like, marami rin namang matatalino sa DLSU ah...




naku, ayoko na lang magsalita... public forum... baka may sumilip at magreact... ayoko ng away...

Interesting. Anybody know the UST stereotype?
Ang alam ko lang is AdMU, UP and DLSU--since bata pa ko, yan na yung stereotypes sa kanila.

I like the way you're thinking.

[AccIdPEx]

Hindi lang din naman to nangyayari sa mga eskwelahan, may stereotyping din naman sa bawat rehiyon, relihiyon, bansa, kulay, style ng buhok, height, binabasa, grupo ng kaibigan, maging sa mga kamag-anak at kapitbahay. Kapag anak ka ni [insert name], ganyan ang ugali mo, kapag nakatira ka sa [insert place], ganyan ang ugali mo, etc.

I don't care if people are talking about me. I affect their lives, they don't affect mine.

^Of course, which is why this topic is specifically on the generalization that Ateneans are snobs and not on every single stereotype in the world.

Not aware of this stereotype. Prefer the one in this forum wherein ADMU students are allegedly "required" to be good-looking.

We probably shouldn't take these stereotypes seriously & think on a broader scale. We all know that our parents bought us a good education-- not the best in the world, but still a solid one. After you've gone & done grad school and a postdoc, been numbed by THAT cost & repeatedly discoursed on what "Ateneo" meant, any snobby veneer will be lost anyway.

Reason why I did not enroll here was that during my ACET, students from this university would look at me from head to toe.

Rude...

UST - maraming social climber , sad but true.

Maybe you're just too goodlooking.

[talkplaylove]

^Yun din sasabihin ko eh! Hahaha And ACET happens on the weekend, you were with your fellow ACET takers and not Ateneo students. XD

Goodlooking naman kasi talaga si Daiju. Chinito heartthrob.

i'm pretty sure I'm not

Ateneans are generally snobbish. As early as prep, students are made to believe that they are in the best school in the country, therefore they have to do their best to get good grades. Some grade school outings bring the young ateneans to different depressed areas where they soon realize how lucky and superior their lives are compared to a large portion of their countrymen. Some of these ateneans grow with a superiority complex and go the "snobbish" route. Some don't.

(im talking about ateneans who actually spent their formative years in ateneo grade school and high school, not the ones who just transferred to ateneo in college)

One of my nephews had to go to IS for GS because he arrived too late for regular enrollment at the beginning of his academic career. Believe me, he got pulled out after a few years when finally we gave him a good listen. His Dad, my brother, is a 3rd generation Blue blood too.

You can say, "Man for others" unti you grow fins, but if its not reinforced by home values, then bad luck! Families have the last say with grade school kids.

Wow..Really? I've been in Ateneo ever since I was in Prep (I'm a 2nd year College student now still in Ateneo). I have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, our teachers tell us that we are in one of the best schools in the country, but what's wrong with that? It's true naman diba? And of course we have to do our best. All students, regardless of school have to! And about those "outings to depressed areas," yes we are brought to them, but not just to stare and "realize how lucky and superior we are." The school brings us there to help them. I've personally helped with the building and decorating of some GK houses. I've tutored countless public school students. I've donated clothes and food. I even helped during the Ondoy relief efforts. And I know other students from Prep like this because we've kept in touch! We know that we're more fortunate than some of our other countrymen, but it's not like we don't do anything about it.

I know you said that only some people go into this snobbish route and some don't and that's true, but not only for Ateneans! Lahat ng eskwelahan may ganyan. I just wanted to clarify your lack of information about our formation years. /endrant

I totally agree with you. I graduated from the Ateneo GS and HS and we had our fair share of immersions and community help with the less fortunate. These were done to prove to us that we're lucky but to show us how we, the more fortunate ones, can be more aware of our brothers and sisters and realize the many ways we can be of help to them.
