UP has its own language — a mix of acronyms, nicknames, and references that might leave freshies scratching their heads. 🤯

We’ve put together a guide to help you talk (and understand) like a true Iskolar ng Bayan:
🗣 General — everyday UP terms you’ll hear everywhere
📍 Landmark — places and spots you’ll need to know
📚 Academic — words and codes that define your UP journey

Next time someone says “check mo sa RUPP,” you’ll know exactly what they mean.

A! Ang galing, galing 😱🤩!

C! Sobrang fresh na fresh 🌬🍃!

D! nanDito na 🥳🤯!!
