Laging sinasabi ng mga prof dati na mahihirapan daw maghanap ng jowa after mo magkajowa ng taga-UP.
So either pakasalan mo na yung jowa mo o huwag ka muna magka-jowa sa campus.
Thoughts and testimonies?
Well… after ni 1st ex fiance na taga UP… awa ng diyos naka 2 ex-fiances na uli ako. Ito single pa rin

Walang serious from UP so I graduated legit single. Wasn’t until I was abroad nagka-BF and hindi pa taga UP, taga University of Michigan yung una. I ended up marrying someone from the Art Institute in Chicago.
Hindi naman usually sa school yan. It’s how the school adds shape or dimension to your personality especially when looking for a jowa.

While I admit I’ve been single since my breakup with my ex from UP, I don’t think the fact that the ex is from UP is a factor. I feel like the underlying message from the prof is that, someone from UP is too smart (or insert whatever other quality here) that it will be hard to replace the person… Or at least that’s the impression that I got from reading it. But I think that’s just not the case 
Mas plausible pa, feeling ko, yung mas mapili ka talaga as someone from UP, and not because your ex was from UP.

Walang pumorma sa akin during my time in UP. So yep, I graduated single.

Hindi ko ata narinig yung ganyan. Hindi ko rin naisip na after my break up with my bf from UP, dapat taga UP din ang makakatuluyan ko. But I do know na kahit papano mataas ang standards natin. Most of us want to feel challenged intellectually by our partners. Honestly, I feel that I wouldn’t have connected well with anyone from other universities in Manila. So it is sort of a breath of fresh air when I met my now hubby who is from Iloilo. Though he said he never sent in applications to colleges in Manila since he made up his mind to stay in his hometown, I know that he is smart. He passed the NPTE (the PT licensure here in the U.S.) on his first attempt. Nakita ko yung notes niya during his review, mas matindi pa kaysa sa akin nung nag take ako ng physician licensure exam. He is also very passionate about his profession. Mas magaling pa sa akin in handling finances. So I know hindi naman din sa school/university yun. It’s a factor of course. But as long as I would get along with him, and he is a decent, respectful human being, I don’t mind where he graduated from.

May isa akong ex na taga UP. Dito ko sa peyups nakilala. Medyo natrauma ako kasi mataas talaga ang expectations nya sa akin. Di ko kinaya. Had to let go. Ewan ko kung may kinalaman ba pagiging taga UP nya or dahil low profile lang talaga ako. I know UP students have strong principles na pinaglalaban. Ewan ko kung san category ako 
passive lang kasi ako sa maraming bagay. It is what it is. Ayokong mastress. I married an ADU graduate later on, which is di naman issue actually. Kahit san pa sya nagtapos.

Never nagka-jowa sa UP. Took me years before I finally found mine. Not a Filipino.
Lessons in life: UP will not teach you who to love, but how to love…and love unconditionally. UP will teach you that the best option to pursue in a relationship is not meeting expectations but negotiate for win-win solutions.

Not during the time that I was taking my Bachelor’s in UPD but in graduate school sa Diliman nagka MU. After that, taga DLSU naman tapos yung huli, taga dito na sa ibang bansa.
Lumandi lang ako nang lumandi during undergrad, sa mga taga-UP at ibang universities rin. Tapos nagka-jowa na taga-UP rin some time after graduating. Baka ito yung best practice.

my bf after him is from a university sa province nila. nahiya pa sya manligaw noon dahil naintimidate. buti nalagpasan naman nya yung phase na yun. eto, asawa ko na
Bakit naman mahihirapan mag-hanap ng jowa after magka jowa nang taga-UP? Sounds like “UP and others” mentality. 
Jumowa ng jumowa nung undergrad, yung bf when I graduated nagtagal, came close to marrying the guy pero wala e. Then met a guy from Ateneo, na akala ko nung una taga-UP. Nung napag-usapan ang batch, sabi niya batch 98 siya, sabi ko naman wow 1 year lang gap naten? Turns out sa kanila pala pag sinabi batch, as in year you graduated. Technically tama naman siya, mali intindi ko kasi all the while sa UP pag tinanong sa akin anong batch, as in student number ang intindi ko. 
ended up marrying atenista.
