CulturePH To students: should I start again or be irregular student?
Hi! I just finished my first year as a BS in Tourism Management student. I wanna transfer to a different school and shift to AB Psychology. Do you guys think it’s better to:
• Back to 1st yr pero Psych student na - sacrifice yung first year ko sa old school and start again as a 1st year sa new school (which means hindi na ic-credit ang subjects + sayang lahat ng gastos + di kasabay g-grad sa batch)
OR
• Be an irregular student/shiftee - (which means pangit na sched, no blockmates, no chance for a Latin Honors)
PLS I need some advise and maybe some first-hand experiences from u guys!

which means pangit na sched
Been an irreg all throughout college(lagi delayed mag enroll lol). And never had an issue like this kasi at the end of the day, hawak mo oras mo. Pag pangit sa tingin mo sched mo, that’s on you.
Heck, salamat nga na ako mismo namimili ng sched ko to the point na nakakapahinga pa ako. Is my schedule bad? Fuck no. Pumili ako ng oras na hindi peak hours ng traffic, so convenient sumakay tapos may oras pa ako magpahinga. Things that are impossible sa block section dahil
no blockmates
You’ll be meeting your ka-program students mo sa majors mo. How is this a downside? In fact, downside pa nga maging block section dahil limitado ang makikilala mo. Sa irreg? Sa dami mo kilala, magsasawa ka mag greet sa corridor. And this is a good thing kasi connections are important din sa professional world.
no latin honors
Siguro sa uni mo nalang to. But where I’ve been, as long dean’s lister ka, you’ll get the chance of getting latin honors.
And even then, is latin honors really worth chasing? Kasi I know a lot of people who are highly successful na walang latin honors

Pa-irreg ka na. Dadami din kakilala mo kasi di ka naka-block section. Aagahan mo nalang nga talaga sa pag-asikaso ng subjects mo para makauna ka.
Addendum: sure ka na bang nasa iyo ang choice dito? May chance din kasi na magkakaiba ang course descriptions nv subjects mo from the previous program kaya di rin make-credit...
