This is not one of those tips/guides/advices where people tell you to have a balance diet, exercise, get 8 hours of sleep and then your life would be on smooth sailing. I’m not going to tell you to pray or to just keep on believing in God when it gets hard, you already know that. This is not some magical guide that would tell you what to do, and that if you do it well your college life would be awesome. This is the truth. Brace yourself. This is it. Training wheels off. Put your game face on. Suit up. Whatever you have to say to yourself to get ready, tell it to yourself now. This is your battlefield. Take a good look around. This is not the place you left behind where people spend their lunch breaks knowing who’s who and what’s what from the latest gossip. This is a place where people spend their free time in the library memorizing every bit of information until they break, and even then they don’t stop, we can’t stop. You are one step away to facing the real world, you better get ready. This isn’t a game for the faint hearted or the weak spirited. . How well you play the game, is entirely up to you. Know it all. Whether if it’s the cheapest place to buy food or how your professors give quizzes, you need to have a grasp of everything. Knowing if your teacher gives identification questions or true/false will significantly affect the way you study for the subject. You’ll also know it soon that Ma’am Vergara is the last person you would want to mess with. Always have an umbrella in your bag. Know where is the best place for you to study, either in school or at home. What time of the day your concentration is at its peak. What kind of learner you are. Strengths and weaknesses.
. And in a college where you
need both knowledge and power, it doesn’t hurt to be a know-it-all.
Sleep. When you can, where you can. There’s a saying in the college, we only take the naps we think we deserve. Yes, 8 hours of sleep is important but once you get to 3 rd year and realize how hard every subject is, you’d have to make a choice on what’s more important: sleep or your grades? Believe me, everyone chooses the latter. So sleep when you can, where you can. In the library when its one of those rare days when you have no quizzes for the day. In the jeepney or bus just as long you’d be able to wake up when you need to go. I’d give anything to have the ability to sleep in the MRT. A Clean Slate Everything is new. Your uniform, your bag, the faces you’d see everyday. Everything you were in high school is history now. You’re not the valedictorian or the editor in chief or the star athlete. You are the freshman who doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into. Take a moment to think what you want to be.
, use it
wisely. Keep faith. . Whether it’s God or a special someone or in the knowledge that you’re studying something to be able to someday change someone else’s life. Having something to hold on to help keep you going. You’ll need every inch of drive you can get. Take a good dose of motivational quotes or pray. Believe that in believing, we defy even the impossible.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S These are the people who would be with you through one of the hardest times of your lives. Be sure to pick them wisely. If you’re lucky enough though, like me, they would be the one to find you and you’ll just know that these are the people you’d love to graduate with.
.
Not
your
high school friends nor your parents. They’re the ones you’re going to hang out with when you’re outside the laboratory waiting for your name to be called for the practical exams. You’re going to share every excruciating all nighter together. It’s important that you lift each other up and not down. It will hurt if anyone gets left behind.
Make it count. Everything you do from here on out is going on your transcript. This is what you would show on every job interview. So do everything you can to raise your grades.
.
Master every skill you need to become the best in your future profession. The real world is the real competition. Be sure to come prepared.
Expect the worst. Hope for the best. From here on out it will not get any easier. It won’t be over soon. And yes, that is not the hardest that it’s going to get. We study one book for a quiz here, and yet that’s not even the hardest. One thing is for sure though,
, each
day that you get through that beating we call school, every test you take, pass or fail, is going to make you better. Each semester you will look back and realize how you thought you weren’t going get through it and yet you did. You stood strong when many have fallen. And, in that, we find strength to keep going until the end because we know that this, like everything else, shall pass. Have a blast. This is probably the last time that you’re ever going to be a student so take it all in with its benefits and burdens. Your stay in the College of Rehabilitation Sciences will be the best and worst times of your lives, don’t worry you’re not alone. because as painful and hard as it’s going to be, these are the things that you will remember. These will be the memories that you’ll look back into when you’re all grown up. It doesn’t have to be the best nor the worst moments in your lives, it just has to be one that made you better. This is college. It’s difficult to start with, so better not make it harder for yourself. Learn from these tips, adjust and you’ll soon find the CRS life a nerve-wracking yet a fun community to be with. Goodluck! :3

Sports Science is a multidisciplinary field designed to provide graduates with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of safe and effective participation in goal oriented fitness regimens and recreational sports.
Speech language pathology is the study of human communication, its development and disorders that may affect it.
By 1999, foregrounding the growing demand of rehabilitation sciences in the allied health profession, the Institute of Physical Therapy has been renamed College of Physical Therapy and by 2001, to College of Rehabilitation Sciences, as the school also offered a new academic program, B.S. in Sports Science. In the same year, the Master of Science in Physical Therapy program was initiated in collaboration with the UST Graduate School and the University of South Australia as a ‘Training the Trainer’ program. Twelve faculty members of the College were the first enrollees to this program. Two years later in 2003, it was offered to graduates from other schools. On February 21, 2003, the Center for Research on Movement Science was established within the Thomas Aquinas Research Complex. In 2010, it was renamed Center for Health Research and Movement Science to better reflect its role as the research arm of the college. Responsive to its commitment, the College once again endeavored on a new program in June 2009 – the BS SpeechLanguage Pathology. Together with the other established programs, the latest program offering, truly makes the College holistic in its provision of quality education in the field of rehabilitation sciences. The College has grown tremendously for the past thirty five years. Presently the entire student population is 1,200, about eighty times more than the original number of enrollees. The facilities of the school are by far the most sophisticated and most complete in the country and is at the par with those found abroad.

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE OF REHABILITATION SCIENCES In the early 70’s the lack of manpower to take care 4 million disabled Filipinos was staggering. There were less than 50 qualified licensed Physical Therapists in the country, out of an estimated need for at least 3000. To address this need, The UST Institute of Physical Therapy opened its doors in June 1974 to applicants for the program of Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. At that time, the first two years of the 4-year baccalaureate degree fell under the College of Science while the last two years were administered under the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. The first batch of 14 students graduated in 1977. By March of 1987, the school was granted a semiautonomous status academically while still functioning administratively under the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. It exercised full control of the revised 5-year curriculum that was initiated in school year 1988-89. In December 15, 1993, the school was granted full autonomy academically and administratively by then Rector, The Very Reverend Fr. Rolando V. de la Rosa, O.P. The head of the Institute was likewise elevated from being a Director to a Dean. In fulfillment of its commitment to develop highly competent allied rehabilitation professionals, the degree of B.S. in Occupational Therapy was also offered in June 1996. In the summer of 1999, the Certificate Course in Athletic Training was offered. This post-graduate certificate course is an intensive 8-week seminar workshop that aims to spur the professionalization of sports science in the country.
