Where Do UP Students Usually Eat Their Meals?

Have you ever wondered where the students of the University of the Philippines-Diliman usually eat? If yes, this survey will inform you where they usually do. Further, it will also try to answer the question “Why do they eat their meals at the places where they usually eat?”
UP is said to be the microcosm of the Filipino society. Putting it in a context that will be used in this survey, it means that the mix of people in this university is so diverse. Almost every sector of the society is represented. They differ in religious views, economic backgrounds, home towns, skin colors, body built, native languages, interests, etc. Despite of these differences, is there a common denominator on their preferences as to where to eat? If yes, on what basis? Those are the questions that this survey tries to answer.
To answer those questions, I handed out 15 questionnaires made by the UP College of Home Economics to 15 different UP students. I tried my best to diversify the degree programs of the students who will answer the survey. Before handing out a questionnaire, I asked the student about his/her degree program. I put priority on this degree program diversification because I have this pre-conceived notion that people at the same college tend to have more or less the same routine or preferences on their usual schoolday eating places. I suspect that the accessibility factor is responsible for this. With regards to gender, I tried to even out the number of respondents between two genders. The age, however, was not treated as a very significant determinant in the manner I handed out the questionnaires because I believe that the differences in our age, which is very minimal, is insignificant since they all belong on the same generation.
