University of Hawaii at Hilo Top Questions

Growing up in the midwest, the only culture I was really subjected to was different European cultures, but here in Hawaii, there is every single culture imaginable. It has opened my mind to learn new ways learning and accepting people and their culture. The University of Hawaii at Hilo has provided me with many hands on experiences and fieldwork. Here at UH Hilo we have gotten so much attention from the professors, that many of the professors have become my friends. They have guided me into the realm of grad school, and have helped me chose potential advisers and graduate schools based on my interests. They also helped me narrow my intrests and publish a paper in a scientific journal. It has been extremely valuable for me to attend UH Hilo, it helped me to concentrate my intrests and focus on a specific major, and prepared me for the real world. Without UH Hilo, I may have lingered through undergraduate school not knowing what I wanted to study or major in, and wasted valuable time and money.

Transition from high school to community college; no big difference at all, right? Wrong! The experience that attending community college has given me is like no other. I was able to pick exactly what classes I wanted to enroll in and the times and days they took place. Community college has given me the freedom to be introduced to the "big college lifestyle" I will soon be living. I like that my school is small enough so you get to know everyone, both students and staff, but the credits from your courses can transfer easily to any 4 year school. You are able to connect with all teachers and build a relationship with them so they are able to help you do your best with your school work. Community college gives you the freedom and responsibility test that high school forced you to take. I am glad that i enrolled in community college before a 4 year school because I feel that it will prepare me more than going straight from high school to college. I reccomend community college to any high school senior as a stepping stone between high school and college.

During my college experience i mostly learned about the law including the United States Constitution. I have received my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice and planning to continuing my studies for my B. A . I concentrate mostly on my studies and if i face difficulties i always ask because your'll never get an answer if your mouth is close. "ask and you shall receive". The courses i tooked back home in college has encourage me to further my studies and sure did made up my mind to become a politician or a lwayer in the coming future. The only obstacle thats holding most of studies back are my financial needs. I mostly rely on my mom for money for tuition and rent.

I went to University of Hawaii Hilo from Flagstaff, Arizona. Living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and so far away from everyone I knew definately taught me independance. Hawaii is full of culturally diverse people, so even more than independence, I learned how to realate, function in and appreciate completely foriegn and ever changing situations. This high level of diversity has been very valuable in every aspect of my life, especially in work and providing customer service. I grew as a person through my college experience through my exposure and I am able to communicate and effectively work with many people as a a successful team member. I am going for my masters in healthcare administration and hope that my ability to realate and communicate with individuals can be put to use and built upon so that I can be the most effective worker in helping with my passion to help people.

For the past four years that I have attended University of Hawaii at Hilo, the greatest benefit that I had and the reason that this campus is the best destination for many undergraduate students is its availability to the students. For instance, I have the opportunity to meet with the professors instantly, and taking advantage of the resources that are offered in this campus--something that is really hard to attain in bigger campus due to great students enrollment and competitions for available resources. In addition, University of Hawaii at Hilo is located in a better destination suit for undergraduate students aspiring for greater acadamic success: Hilo town is small and less developed; therefore, there is few distractions that students recieve as opposed to student enrolling at bigger campus in city areas. Lastly, one of the biggest experience that I have in this campus is the experience of understanding different cultures from students coming from multi-diverse backgrounds. As a result, University of Hawaii at Hilo provides a better place for many undergraduate students, and it is up to the student to take advantage of the programs it offers, as well as the exotic adventures of Hawaii's Island.

I've been granted the opportunity to meet people from areas of life that I'd never thought I'd meet. I'm a small island girl and the people I meet are generally with the same ethnic background as me. Being able to learn about different cultural backgrounds from people who are from China, Japan, Hungary, and even Sweden is a big surprise to me. I've been able to form relationships with people who come from a different walk in life and I know a little bit about what is accepted and what is not accepted in a certain culture. I am also able to share my culture with others and it's amazing to see that there was such ignorance with one towards the other and I'm blessed to be provided with the opportunity to set things straight. I love this school.

I have learned so much on my college experience here at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. I admit that at times I did struggle but I picked myself up and focus on the bright side of things that this school can offer me. When I failed I know who to turn to for help. It wasn't easy being here at first, being a minority wasn't easy, but as time flies, I've attained to keep my heads up and do the best I can do in everything that I do. And for that I can honestly say that my college experience here at UHH has been tremendously a very good one!

You just become a much better person! The values of life college has taught me! The people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and from different countries I became friends with is something I could never forget. Going to college and continuing your/my education can only better ourselves! And that's what life is about! Continuosly learning and becoming better people! Now that I've graduated with my BBA & am now a single mom with a 5 year old son who attends kindergarten, I would like to go back to school again to be a good role model for my son and show him how important education is! I would like to provide a better life in all aspects of life for my son and I. So I am now seeking a Doctorate in Pharmacy.
