help me choose plss (UP vs PUP)

CETs

hii reddit! it's my first time writing here so pls bear with me. i believe my situation is another one of those dream school vs dream program

i got a slot for upd bs mathematics and i passed pup sta mesa with bs applied mathematics. ive been thinking about it for several days na and i can't seem to decide kung ano ba dapat piliin

for context lang, ever since i was a kid astronaut na talaga dream job ko but when i got older i realised na medyo impossible yung dream na yun. that's why medj go with the flow na lang ako nung nakaraan, at first i was really considering taking ce since that's also what my cousins are taking rn pero nagclick rin sa akin na di ko talaga siya passion so i choose something else, that's when bs math came to my mind. nung una di ko pa talaga siya oinag isipan so i said fuck it and just chose it as my prio program in upd. i then realised my mistake later on na and there was no way to correct it since wala rin namang apmath sa upd

ill just list my reasons below

UP

pros

• one of my dream school

• near our home (might dorm inside campus if ever i choose up)

cons

• it's not necessarily a con but im unsure of my course. as someone who was labelled as "matalino" in math i thought the most obvious thing to do was to pick bs math. but upon researching more about it, ive realised that i prefer bs apmath more since it focuses on solving rather than proving(hate it so bad)

• another would be the environment, idk how to make this sound not weird but i feel like i wouldn't fit in upd. ive met some of my co bs math freshies and they look either very very smart or very very rich. im from a lower middle class fam and im also not the smartest one so i feel like i'd ve out of place. arghh idk im just really intimidated by them honestly 🥹🙏

PUP

pros

• i have a slot on my dream deg prog (bs apmath)

• seems like a welcoming environment

• far away from us (i consider this as a pro since i enjoy hanging out after class and may malapit na lrt line where i can ride it and go gala somewhere else)

cons

• ive heard from others na kaunti lang ftf classes (i hate online classes to the core)

• far away from us (id still consider this as a con since it really is far away, took me 2 hours just to get there)

• no airconnnn (i can tolerate heat naman, nasanay lang siguro nung shs na naka aircon yung room)

ayun po HUHUHU i really don't know naaaa, my parents and family keep urging me na mag up na lang (but also niteredtag na agad ako kahit di pa enrolled) pero di naman maalis sa utak ko na yung dream course ko ay nasa pup. pls help me po
