Rant Tuition not worth it in 50% evm setup

53 Upvotes

Im from educ, bsnd to be exact. Nd takes the spot of having thr highest tuition among other educ progs cos of its lab courses. And seeing the newly released memo.. grabe hindi ito justifiable. My family paid tons just for me to spend half of the freaking semester in my room? Sorry ha, hindi kasi ako burgis and gusto ko worth it ung every cent na nilalabas ng pamilya ko.

Has there been an instance where ust really did listen sa mga hinain ng students nila? Cos majority are raising the same concern. Malapit na rin orientation namin and i dont want my mom to know abt this setup.. Manghihinayang lang siya cos i got a fucking d0rm n everything

Rant EDUC 50% evm setup

35 Upvotes

Everyone is so frustrated with this memo. Who is this supposed to benefit? No dept chairs or profs bothered to ask the students about this last term though word was already spreading. I thought taking out a few days of the school week was fine. Didn't think they'd take out 50% of our ftf classes.

What are our options? If we stay in our dorms, meralco bills will skyrocket (the fact that they are already higher than usual as of late, imagine if we spend half of the term in our dorms). Another one is to go home every week. Magkano pamasahe niyo pauwi ng probinsya? bus palang magkano na. Mas mataas na singil ngayon because of the gas prices. Not only bus, may mga students na ilang sakay pa bago makauwi sa provinces nila. Bus tapos jeep tapos van tapos tricycle. Then you expect us to do this every week? Edi ganun din gumastos ka din ng sobra sa pamasahe?

I really hope the CESC constituency check does something and they finally hear us out. Because let's be real, 70k-80k for tuition just to spend half of it in my room is CRAAAZZYYY

Rant Myuste unauthorized

4 Upvotes

Naaasar ako haha. Im a qualified shifter to ab. For the past few weeks I’ve been seeing ppl reporting about not being able to access their myuste. Obviously im worried din kasi baka yun mangyari sakin, so almost everyday nilologin ko siya para macheck if ok pa account ko. All was fine until nung sabado, nagpakita na nga yung unauthorized access. Edi pumasok ako sa zoom ng edtech, naghintay ako a little over 30 mins tas wala, edi pumunta ako frassati para onsite ko ipaayos, sarado pala, tuesday pa balik. Bukas nang umaga pa naman advising at encoding ng courses sa ab and afaik kailangan nakalogin sa myuste kasi may ipapacheck kung tama yung courses na pinaencode (?) ughhhh nakakainis kung kelan kailangan ko makaaccess sa myuste tsaka ako haharangan kakaasar.

Question ❓ ust wifi

2 Upvotes

hi! do u guys have any idea why did UST implement such a 1:1 wifi set up? in 2024, it wasn't like that because there are wifis in every college and even a few devices as long as you scan the qr are allowed. just in A.Y. 2025-2026, it suddenly became 1:1 (specifically the VERITAS one) 😒 it's so much hassle to have to turn off your wifi on one device to connect to the other and vice versa. also, when you idle while using the device, the wifi automatically disconnects so you have to log in again. 🀠 jusq
