Fashion

One of the distinguished talents of PUPians is their ability to recognize their fellow students by simply looking at them: from how they dress and from how they act. How do they do it? Here are some clues:

The Facade Says It All

By Christine Jacinto and Aurora Fatima Gabitan

​Accountancy Students

​They are the PUPians who wear green uniform which others teasingly compare to the Yakult vendors’ uniform. Usually, they carry large backpacks, probably containing several math books inside. Not contented with the heavy load their backs are bearing, these PUPians clutch extra books with their arms too! If novels are others’ past time tool, theirs are their math books. They read it almost every time with a pencil and a calculator on the side.



Communication Students

​Pop clothing? Surely, no other PUPian could carry that style with feistiness than the Communication students. They care less about comfort; they want fashion. Their flair is usually a head-turner, making them feel like artistas. Ironically, they aren’t like those showbiz people who are being talked about—they are the ones “who talk about certain people”. Unquestionably chatty but undeniably flexible in accomplishing tasks.













Engineering and Architecture Students

​Probably the most humble group of PUPians for their activities (plates and computations) always keep their heads stooped down (haha). But they are certainly the noisiest inside the computer shops! (You probably know why.) When you see them in the photocopying shop, they always do the same thing: duplicating a copy of whatsoever solutions from a book. Nonetheless, their literally stressful activities did not change their connotation of being the “Home of the real men”.







Languages and Linguistics Students

​They are the PUPians who have the edge in debate contests and performances. It seems as if debate has been a part of their everyday meal. Faculty members of this college are known to be singing talentados. In fact, they have this CLL Faculty Band, where every member sings terrific. Cool instructors reside in this college too.







Tourism and HRM Students

One of the easiest PUPians to recognize, Tourism and HRM students wear yellow (sometimes blue) blouse topped with a vest, paired with either black skirt or black pants. Straight hair, light make-up, high-heeled shoes and great posture has been generic among the female ones. Other colleges envy them, primarily because they got air-conditioned class rooms and they can wear long-sleeved clothes comfortably.







Arts Students

Students in this college are very simple, some are emo and some are enigmatic. Most of the boys are sporting long hair. They are deviant—they wear what they want and fashion for most of them is nonsense.

Computer Management and Info Technology Students

Others call the students who belong in this college as RK (rich kids) because most of them have different kinds of gadgets. When you visit their lair, you will see students busy with their laptops while the others are pretty occupied with networking. Computers here seem like the air they breathe.







Food Technology Students

They are like nurses at first sight because of their white uniform. But their shoes… Ah, their shoes tell the people that they are not what we think they are. Their shoes are pretty inappropriate for their uniform. Food for them is another thing. They have the knowledge and skills regarding food preparation, entrepreneurship and food manufacturing.







Human Kinetics Students
The athletic type of people. Students in this college are concentrating in the field of physical activity. You rarely see chubby scholars here, just like you rarely see them wearing slippers or black shoes. They are always on-the-go and their backpacks always contain bottled water.







Education Students

Students in this college are quite the serious type. They always have thick books with them. Their fashion is simple but neat. And like the COCians, they are loud too…but articulate. They are the epitome of future educators.





​Economics, Finance and Politics Students

Students in this college look decent. Some of them always wear stern gazes while some of them are just...gazing. They always have opinions on various stuffs, especially the PolSci ones. Like the Accountancy students, Finance scholars are always loaded with tons of Math books. I wonder how they survive through their daily Math problems.

College of Business

They have a variety of uniforms causing others to think they come from other colleges. The men's uniform is almost the same as those of the male HRM students. They look clean and prompt; they never forget to wear their IDs and complete uniforms. Their long-sleeved blouses though are somewhat inappropriate for the main building's temperature.
