A student of of College of Fine Arts Design in a top University in Manila posted this photo on Facebook which show the restrictions in hair and uniform.
Some say that the point of studying arts or design is to freely express themselves in order to have inspiring outcomes with their work. With these rules, they are also restricted in possibly having ideas outside of the box. While others say that students should follow rules regardless of what they are studying.
What is your stance or opinion with this issue? We would love to know!

Long hair na pala nag sasabi ngayon kung magiging rebelde ka or hindi. Funny argument we got there.
madali lng solusyon maghanap ng ibang school kung ayaw ng rules pero ito ba ang batayan ng kung panu tayo dapat mamuhay, ano bang kaso kung mahaba ang buhok mo? utak naman ang pinaguusapan or creativity hindi rules and looks
[Rhetorical questions to think about] Pag lalake, bawal magpahaba ng buhok, pag babae, pwede. Based sa social norms, nasanay tayo na kapag lalake, dapat maiksi ang buhok. Pero ano nga ba ang point kung mahaba ang buhok ng isang lalake? Nagiging masamang impluwensya ba siya pag mahaba ang buhok? Nagiging drug addict ba? Pag sinaunang tao, tanggap natin ang lalakeng mahahaba ang buhok (kahit wala tayong ebidensya na mahaba nga ang buhok nila) tulad nina Lapu-lapu at HesuKristo. Sino nga ba ang nagsiksik sa kamalayan natin na masamang tingnan sa isang lalake ang mahaba ang buhok? Kung pagiging neat lang naman ng buhok ang requirements, bakit hindi pa rin pwede kahit naka-rebond at naka-layered? Dahil ba gusto natin na well-defined ang description ng itsura ng isang lalake mula sa isang babae? Yung tipong isang tingin mo pa lang alam mo na kung sino ang male sa female? E di sana dapat ipagbawal ang maiiksing buhok para sa mga kababaihan. Wala akong pake kung patakaran iyon ng mga paaralan, pero ang tanong, ay bakit? Ano ang purpose? Mapapariwara ba ang buhay ng isang estudyante pag mahaba ang buhok niya? Bababa ba ang grades niya? Ano nga ba ang kadahilanan at kailangan maiksi ang buhok ng isang lalake? Ano nga ba?
As a creative artist, graphic designer, web designer and photographer, I think this should be applicable in high school only but in college students should be more matured and have more freedom to do anything with themselves (particularly in arts) as long as with proper responsibility that won’t cause nuisance to others. When I studied in London, most of the students in College of Arts can do anything or wear anything because we don’t wear any uniform as well anyway. But again it depends if the university have policy and requiring you to wear uniform, then I think you have no choice but to follow these rules because the moment you signed and enter the school you agreed to follow their policy and rules otherwise you can study anywhere else that will fit your needs. When these arts students will graduate, eventually they will be forced to cut their hair (in a decent way) anyway when they’re looking for jobs in a coporate world and/or meet clients (for freelance or own business). I have a German friend who have long green dyed hair and piercing in lips and ears in college, now when I saw him he’s very clean with shaved head and no piercing at all.
