Similarly, Liam De Guzman, a Grade 12 student from St. Martha, expressed his chosen course to be BS Psychology at UST.
โAt the moment, my choice of school is UST because they're really popular in the course that I want to take... I am really curious on how the mind works and I also love helping people, so I think my curiosity and willingness to help will do great in psychology," De Guzman explained.
There were other surveyed students like Vitto Aguilan and Shaina Quirong who wanted to go to UST in sports science and therapy related courses, as well as Jerwin Rayver Dalit who wanted to pursue accounting at De La Salle.
