Abstract:

The study described the respondent’s profile in terms of year level, sex, college, role in student activities, and perceived academic performance and found out if there was a significant difference on the perception on school activities according to profile. Using the quantitative research design, particularly the descriptive- comparative method, the respondents were college students who were identified through Slovin‘s formula and proportional sampling among the colleges. The study utilized a survey questionnaire. Statistical tools used were frequency counts, percentages, means, and analysis of variance. Majority of the student respondents were female, observers during activities, and perceived that their academic performance is good. The most participated co- curricular activities are seminar/workshops/symposiums along the field of specialization while the most participated extra-curricular activities are acquaintance/Christmas parties and mass/spiritual activities.
