Why did I choose this school:
I chose this university because it is my dream university ever since I was in high school as I believed DLSU is not only prestigious, but also safe, and being a graduate of this university will allow me to have more opportunities in the corporate world.
About De La Salle University:
The ambiance of DLSU is clean and green. Archers practice CLAYGO in the university, thus, you will not see any garbage littering around the campus and/or the corridors. Despite having a lot of smokers in Agno St., there are a bunch of trees around the area which maintains the cleanliness of the air.
As for the professors, this depends if you are lucky or not. There are some who are really kind and generous when it comes to grades. However, there are also those you refer to as terror professors. Frankly speaking, all universities have these 2 types of professors. But in general, Lasallian professors are friendly outside of the classroom. In fact, they treat students as their friends outside the classroom wherein you can eat together, drink together, and discuss anything under the sun. They just need to keep the professional teacher-student relationship inside the classroom.
When it comes to the school facilities, I can attest to it that DLSU's facilities are impeccable. All classrooms are air-conditioned; there is a free Wi-Fi access anywhere in the campus; there are also free computers in the library which students can use if they urgently need one; gazebos and other open areas are also provided for students who would want to rest and socialize. The newly built Henry Sy Hall is the nicest library I have ever seen, wherein students may borrow a room for brainstorming, group presentations, and/or thesis practice.
Should you opt not to stay in school during your free time, there are also places within the vicinity where you can just hangout and relax such as the University Mall, E.G.I. Taft Tower, Sherwood Place, etc. A variety of coffee shops and restaurants can be found in those areas, which is it is really convenient to study in DLSU.
In general, DLSU is impeccable and I can assure you that being a Lasallian is something that you can be proud of all throughout your life. Moreover, the learning experience that you can get in DLSU is one that you will never forget.
My current job:
I am a Marketing Manager.
I craft promotions (i.e. Priceoffs, activations, etc.) and approve marketing collateral of the company in order to attract customers.
Being a marketeer is not a bed of roses. What you think of actually working as an advertiser or company marketeer is just the end result of all your hard work. Before you get into those that customers see, you need to get your hands dirty. You have to work on numbers (lots of them) and write several proposal letters, before you get that promotion approved. That is the time when you can ask your artist craft the collateral, which you have to approve. As the marketeer, you have to ensure that ALL the details are correct, and all the elements are attractive to consumers.
