Lucas

Brigham Young University-Hawaii can be considered as a pan filled with different condiments, since it's considered a very diverse school with students from all over the world. I love being around people with different cultures and that speak different languages. This university is like meeting the whole world inside of an area of 100 acres. Another reason I really like about this college is the size. I went to a small high school, which you had more chances of, one-on-one with teacher and this college allows that to happen to all students

The cultural environment. There is an opportunity to meet students from all over the world. Seventy different countries make up our campus. I love how open minded everyone is to learning about the different cultures. I also think the opportunity to serve is really huge here. Students are constantly helping one another and caring for each other.

It's a place where I can be surrounded by people with the same values and beliefs as me. This is the best thing about BYU -Hawaii because here you are not judged for going to church every sunday or not doing the things which the world considers as okay. You can practice your beliefs in a beautiful place with beautiful culturally diverse people who understand.

One of the best things about the BYU-H is that we have a small student body that allows students to have a more one on one relationship with our professors. They show genuine care for the students here. The proffesors at BYU-H are very approachable which makes me feel very comfortable in approaching them when I have concerns or questions about the work we are learning. Our atmosphere in class is more of a discussion which allows students to voice opinions and hear different perspectives of certain topics related to my course work.

The best thing about BYU-Hawaii is it's a missionary school whereby its school of LDS members. I am not a member of LDS but my boyfriend do. I would like to take this opportunity to learn more about this church. Besides learning it i would like to gain knowledge for my job opportunity in the future. I would like to learn how to pray before classes starts which make studies more effective. Not only that, this school does have a honor code meaning students are not allowed to drink, smokking and wear pants above the knees.

The best thing about my school is definitely the variety or ethnicity. I am fortunate enough to go to a small university, with students from over 70 countries in a student body of only about 2500. I have met people from all over the world, and we all share the same goal: to gain an education, and benefit from it. It is incredible to see all these different people come together, to study, and to learn; all in one beautiful place.

Roderick

The school is strongly affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emulating throughout all activities and studies. The ability to study secular knowledge in the light of spirituality is very important to me. This helps me to focus my studies on gaining knowlege to better myslef as a moral person and to use the tools an knowleged gained at Brigham Young University to serve others. Knowlege is only useful when applied.

I would definately say that it is the people who attend the school and the people of the community that are the best thing about our school. One would think that the best thing about a Hawaiian school would be the beautiful weather but really it's the people!

BYU Hawaii, which I will be attending this fall, provides a diverse yet close-knit community of college students who share the same standard and beliefs. It accepts a variety of different students from different countries and backgrounds, but it remains just the right size for people like me, who have attended smaller middle or high schools. The campus is beautiful and the learning environment is clean and focused.

Norman Vincent

The best thing I consider about my school is that it is a place where spiritual as well as academic learning is encouraged. In this school, we follow a standard that is consistent to the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints such as being honest in our dealings with others, follow a grooming standards, etc. Also, students especially of our faith will learn secular knowledge that is consistent with our belief which make it easier for us to accept what is being taught to us.
