My school is best known for its diversity. At the top of the Polynesian triangle in the Pacific Ocean, it represents over seventy two different countries, which reaches far more than one hundred cultures. This is a recipe perfect for secondary education. Students go to university to broaden their knowledge and stretch their viewpoints. At a campus that has such rich cultures embodies this idea. In order to best increase your knowledge you should be exposed to as many ways of life as possible. At Brigham Young University- Hawaii this idea is best represented.

Brigham Young University Hawaii was founded and still supported today by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Our school is unique because of its honor code to help students abide by its religious principles. I think it is nice to be in a "bubble" from outside influences. Other college students at other schools are drinking at parties. I think being away from those influences help me to concentrate on why I chose to attend college. I am also told that employers highly respect Brigham Young University graduates because they are people of strong morals and ethics.
