Colleges and Universities

Can we just drop the topic and not belabor the issue? It's kind of getting old. We know where you stand and it feels like you're just arguing for the sake of arguing here. Miguel has been extremely helpful in providing us information (and educated information at that) on the process of the conservation effort. Sure it has taken millions of years to produce one grain of sand. So every single piece of sand that is carted away to Chicago has a legacy of millions of years. As anti-tourism as I am (and other people on this forum know that I am anti-tourism in many cases at the theory level sheerly for the exploitativeness of the very idea of tourism) I can understand this, the very logic that every piece of million year old sand that leaves the place is destructive is ridiculous, no matter the reason. Might as well not go to the beach since the little grains that embed themselves in your tsinelas are a potential environmental disaster.

It's getting old. Let's talk about universities.

Considerating? I guess my fingers or cursor must have slipped or I might have made that one up. Chalk that one up to creative license

Anyway jon, don't take my comment about your agressiveness negatively, I was just warning the others about how you tackle things. I'm kinda familiar with your style already from the Thorn Tree but the other members here aren't yet so I was just advising them on how to take your comments. Particularly Miguel, who's really new and has only posted here a few times. I do agree with you to a certain extent, but not completely. Like on the Thorn Tree, I did agree that those trolls needed to be dealt with, but just not exactly the way that you did.

Some pictures from the ADMU website.

ADMU has a beautiful campus, modern with many open spaces and parks.

[kiretoce]

Ahh....ADMU rocks! I would have gone there for college but my parents would have nothing of it! Damn....I'm still bitter about it!

[bagel]

Yeah it would be great to see some ADMU and UP Dili pics here. Those ADMU ones are kind of squished.

Out of the Metro Manila universities, I think ADMU has the most well-planned one. That's one good thing that happened after WWII--- they were forced to leave Padre Faura and were able to have a modern/integrated campus development plan and have an actual campus QC (or are they in Marikina?). They just need to modernize Loyola Gym and aircondition it...

I love wide open college campuses. One of these days, I'll post pics of my university campus in the Samahan section (since I don't go to a Filipino uni.)

[Thunderflip]

OH goodness! That is an awesome university! Seems impossible in MM. That campus is really upscale! My dream is that a modern and world-class university would be built in Clark in the future...just a cool vision of mine. I had something like ADMU in mind.

[ryanr]

@ mike - yeah the pics are squished coz it comes from their website banners.

I agree, ADMU and UP Diliman are beautiful, well planned campuses. To bad DLSU isnt the same.

[weirdo]

DLSU isn't well plannd? i dunno. but yea still beautiful. pati students beautiful.

[ryanr]

Its ok planned...but its not an open campus like UP-Diliman or ADMU.
maybe you are right with the students part

[weirdo]

too small to open up for non lasalllians. 5.04 hectares lang. about 13000 ang population. the uni has to ensure the safety of university community and its facilities. hirap nga makiusap ng university sa city police para ma ensure ang safety ng students and cellphones/wallets nila from people sa paligid ng campus then papapasukin pa natin sila?

di maybe ung students part. hehe.

[ryanr]

hehehe...not maybe, for sure then

UST has got a pretty big front lawn. as for security, I don't know if its loose or not... since my cousin and I did look like students there (well he IS a student there ) and I didnt need to show any ID.

UP-Diliman looks pretty huge from photos too. UPLB needs no introduction about its size.

[rmb]

Is there an LRT station near UST?

[renell]

right now... when I was there I didn't notice one. I could be wrong though.

but i believe there's one planned to be near it. at least in Espana

[Solblanc]

what those admu pics don't show are the people screaming in the well-manicured zen gardens because a higad fell on them

[thomasian]

haha, it just reminds me of what happened in Colayco park in UST last week, nahulugan ako ng higad, grabe, tapos maya't maya eh may gumagapang sakin na langgam buti na lang hindi yung mga hantik na langgam yung gumapang sakin.

bukod sa higad, langgam at iba pang insekto, may napansin din akong beehive sa ibang mga puno doon so good luck na lang sa mga tao dun pag nalaglag yung beehive.

I think their security is not tight, we've been there before and we just simply entered the main gate w/o showing our ID. nun bumalik kami ganun ulit. Siguro kc mukha naman kaming pangkaraniwang students lan dun. or dahil pogi at magaganda mga kasama ko? haha.
