Freshie here po! Any tips or advice for incoming BAMS students? 🙏

Hi po! I'm an incoming first year student taking BAMS, and I’m looking for any tips or advice from upperclassmen or recent graduates. I’m excited but also nervous, and I really want to make the most out of my first year. I'm comfortable in the modality of UPOU since I took SHS as an online student. This time, I’ll be starting this journey with a friend, but she’s considering shifting to a different course (either face-to-face or as a T1 applicant), so we’re both trying to prepare as early as we can.

If you're from BAMS or have experience with shifting or transferring courses, we’d really appreciate your input! 🙏

Some questions we have po:

1. What should I expect as a BAMS student?
2. Any do’s and don’ts during the first year?
3. Study habits that worked for you?
4. How to balance acads, orgs, and social life?
5. Tips for my friend who’s planning to shift courses or transfer—how should she prepare?
6. How can we ensure that we'll be 'course mates' po?
7. Anything you wish you knew when you were a freshie?

Thank you so much po in advance! 🌻
