MY EXPERIENCE AS AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT IN THE PHILIPPINES

Disclaimer: I am in Texas now due to the whole ~situation~
Hi, I'm Euneece.
Listen to me talk about my experience as an international student in the Philippines.
Honestly, it hasn't been an easy journey. Maybe I'm being a baby and being overdramatic about it, but hey, it's my story and my perspective. However, amidst the difficulties and struggle of adjusting to such a new environment, there were so many moments and experiences that I wouldn't trade for the world. I'm extremely grateful to have met all the people I have met and for the friends I have made. I love you guys hehe.

I think is also cool that u came back to your home to study at least to gain more culture experience about your home country, its actually fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@grantasilom5844]

'Bisaya/Cebuano' is actually a language, a dialect is a regional version of a language. Like Davao Cebuano, or Surigao Cebuano or Bohol Cebuano, etc.

[@euneece]

ahhh okay, thank you for the clarification!

[@mountainous_port]

If you visit cities in Mindanao like Ozamis Tagum Gensan Butuan etc you will know that Bisaya is just the same anywhere. The dialect stuff is only on paper.

I will always love listening to your stories, Euneece!!! Love thissss!! 😍👏

i love you so much!!

[@psychmaestro8528]

Nice video! I kinda feel sorry about your struggles in adjusting to the culture. Riding jeeps, waking up early for class, and learning about Filipino/Davaoeño slang, meme culture and curse words is understandably a LOT to process. But I appreciate that despite of it all, you still pushed onwards. I’m actually taking up my Masters Degree in Ateneo de Davao University so I guess we’re schoolmates (yehey!). Kaway-kaway kapwa atenista! 😁

hello!

[@_gmnbtn]

glad this came in my recommendations. i'm currently studying as shs student in addu and i also grew up in a foreign country, uae. idk bisaya and i'm kinda nervous with next school year's face-to-face classes that i might feel left out but so far, in my online learning right now, my classmates are vv friendly. i hope to learn and understand bisaya more in the future to avoid the language barriers knowing that i really want to study in ateneo davao. obf, atenean! thanks for this video, ate 💙

Was it hard to apply? I’m a U.S. citizen but both of my parents were both born and raised in the Philippines. I’m having a hard time applying because they need all my forms.😭

[@euneece]

it was definitely not an easy process lol but i am a dual citizen since i was born in the philippines so that made it less of a hassle. i guess the process depends on which university you're planning to apply to as well. most of the time, the university's registrar should be willing to give you a hand so don't hesitate to message or contact them.

[@mariaellorango218]

@@euneece Hi, i was wondering if you applied for dual citizen? I'm considered as balikbayan since I was born in the Ph. I was wondering what are the process and requirements you needed to do to have a student visa? Thank you

[@ivoimpreso2051]

i must stan

[@euneece]

please do

[@yutassmilehealsme6572]

What was it like when people would speak to you and you’d have to be like “sorry I can’t speak ___” like would they look at you weirdly? Was it easy or hard to make friends with them bc how often are there international students in the Philippines? And omg the education system is hard, typical of an Asian country :(

[@euneece]

1. thankfully, whenever i told people that i wasn't that fluent in bisaya, they were very kind and took an effort in speaking English with me, which i was very grateful for. 2. it was fairly easy to make friends since there were also many people there who were new to Ateneo. i don't really "look" like an international student since i'm full Filipino but people were still very kind to me nonetheless. 3. academically, it was difficult but not impossible

How much do u pay annually in UST as an international student

[@shivanshrathod4477]

Hey ! Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it. I had a quick question: My roots are from India (currently a resident of Canada) and was wondering if it would be a good decision to encourage my younger sister to apply at National Institute of Physics in Philippines. Do they have international students ? Would it be hard for her to make friends because of the language barrier ? Is the mode of communication English ? Sorry for the bombardment

[@ogspeace]

Nigawas ni sa akong yt recommended vids.. ambot ngano. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, sad lang kasi based on my travels in US, nindot gyod ilahang educational system. Labi na sa college! Though, dili pod ko product sa educ system nila. Like you, atenista pod ko. Mas free nga ang educ sa states - free in a sense na ikaw mismo mopili sa imong direction. which I envy so much. Ang down side lang sa states na educ sys is katong loans. Ipiton jod ka even after nigraduate naka. PE sucks tbh, labi na pag late naka makatulog. Pero, isipin mo nalang -- forced work out / cardio siya.. Which I miss (thinking in retrospect!). Yawaa noh? Ayaw lag kaguol sa imong experiences as a langyaw student. Kaya nimo na, hunahunaa lang ngano ka ni-enter sa sugod. btw, tell me if you had a hard time understanding, will edit and translate if needed. i figured, since you mentioned that you spent a bit of your childhood in tagumtagumpay (he he he), you could use a bit of bisaya practice. :P #lifeishere ayo2. - ogs

Toulon Vocational College is a better option for anyone who doesn't wants to waste huge monies on agent fees. They are quite affordable and most of thier courses are training courses and don't require language proficiency.

umm im a junior in highschool watching this bcus my mom was also thinking about going back to the philippines for college😀😀 and i feel the exact same way u did like im already comfy but im kind of also interested? but idk im scared like i can understand the language but i cant even speak fluently

[@ivyslotus]

my mom also says she wants me to do college there bcus its more affordable

[@euneece]

hey! so, honestly, the decision is all up to you. but i will tell you a couple of things. it is going to be difficult, especially if you can't speak fluently. however, if you can understand, then you'll be fine. while it is definitely difficult and it is going to be a challenge, you'll meet so many new people and go through experiences that your friends in the states would never imagine going through themselves, in a good way. you'll honestly turn into a new person and maybe it's all up to perspective, but for me personally, it was a nice change. if you're up for the challenge, then go for it! if you want to do something different with your life and set yourself aside from all your friends and have unique experiences, this is your chance! good luck!
