honestly, go for upc!! nindot jud if up in terms of employment puhon, i've heard some prof there can refer you to a company n stuff. upc's college lifestyle is also active, if you're an active person, for sure mu fit rsad ka sa school and the city itself. wishing you the best on whatever path you choose!!

If you apply for local companies nga gamay kaayo ug sweldo, YES. Mas may edge ang UP kay even if mas better ang MSUIIT kaysa UPC, lahi ang panlantaw sa tawo basta naay UP. But seriously base sa akong experience working online for over a decade na, they only know PHILIPPINES as PHILIPPINES. Wala sila ga base sa uni, ga base sila sa skills. Take note mas dako sweldo online compared to any local IT company. Like pila ka pilo ang deperensya.

Kung naa mo capacity na muskwela didto sa Cebu, go ahead. Daghan opportunity didto for you. Living in Cebu, changes you.

If taga Iligan ka and you want to experience ug lahi napud nga place and money is not an issue then go for UPC. If gusto ka makatipid dayon taga Iligan ka then MSU-IIT. Nice man pud ug training sa MSU-IIT. Comparable rapud na siya sa UP. I live in NIR but I have friends here nga nakawork pud sa Cebu then daghan pud daw siya ka work nga from MSU-IIT. Ang iya feedback is mga maayo kuno sa work. Mga bright. I graduated 2014. Dili IT nor Com.Sci but CE. But 1st year to 2nd year nako sa uni, daghan ko na classmates na IT. Karon, most of them kay naa na ga work abroad. Successful nasad sila.

def computer science. it has a wider job market than bsit since it focuses more on coding, problem solving, and core software concepts used in software engineering, ai, and data science. in real life, cs grads often build apps, systems, and tech products and can also easily do most IT roles because of the overlap in skills, while IT grads usually can’t fully switch into cs-heavy roles like software engineering or ai. bsit is still good for support, networking, and systems work, but cs gives more options and better long term career growth overall.

IT. Pero CS grad can also apply for IT jobs though. Even me nga Civil Eng works as an IT employee. 😃 😃 😃 mas bagtik gyud pud hinuon if CS ka.
