MSU-IIT Life is Simpler than in XU

Having been a student of Xavier University (XU) for three consecutive semesters already made me realize how much I am missing Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT). MSU-IIT is different from XU. MSU-IIT which offers low-cost education runs under the government. The infrastructures are just fine and enough to accommodate the students although the campus has fewer areas for students to stay during vacant periods. Despite the lesser privileges a student gets when it comes to facilities and the like, still, they, and also the faculty members, are competitive enough as evidenced by the high performance ratings in different professional examinations. Simpler life is depicted also by the students who are less conscious of their physical appearance, considering the fact that uniforms are not mandated, and that they are most of the time down-to-earth. Having fun does not necessitate pulling bills from the pocket. Meals can be had for as low as Php 20.00. Meanwhile, XU, being a private sectarian university, offers an expensive education. The campus is huge with appreciable infrastructures that can also accommodate the students. It also has several areas that are adaptive for school works, socializing, and studying. And like MSU-IIT, both the students and the faculty are competitive with good performance ratings too. Moreover, XU mandates the wearing of school uniforms but the students are more inclined into being physically conscious especially during wash day. Also, spending is attached to almost every move that a student takes. Here is the thing: IIT is never a notch higher than Xavier and vice versa. It is just that I see MSU-IIT simpler than XU.
