University of Hawaii at Manoa Top Questions

Here's your chance: Say anything about University of Hawaii at Manoa!

Julia

The most unique aspect of the University of Hawaii at Manoa is the vast range of cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity. People from all walks of life call UH Manoa home, so there’s not only plenty to learn in the classroom from your teacher, but also everywhere else on campus and from everyone around you.

It is in Hawaii, it has nice weather and is beautiful all the time.

University of Hawaii is convenient; I live nearby, and it was cheaper (though not too much cheaper) than paying out of state tuition for a mainland school. It's also by far the most beautiful college campus you'll see, as they have done an excellent job displaying Oahu's island beauty on campus. The school is very diverse, so you will meet people at UH that you probably never would have anywhere else!

The diversity here in Hawaii is crazy, of course the main population of students are Asian or Polynesian, but there are also people from all over the world and from the United States. Also, this school is all about the Hawaiian Culture; no other school I was accepted into cared about their culture (what is white culture anyway?) because this is Hawaii and the people love who they are and what they represent. It's a different world here.

This school is unique because they generally want you to succeed. For your particular major, in order to move on, you have to have a C or better in the class. Some schools don't care how you do in the class and will allow you to move foward without making a decent grade. My school is at least making sure the students maintain a 'C' average.

Renz

The campus offers a lot of programs for students. The teachers are very professional. The students are ready to learn.

UH Manoa is what you make it. There's so many different opportunities to join over 100's of different clubs, many different sports, and even a few on-campus churches. The people here come from all over the world, so there's plenty of diverse people to learn from and experience new cultures with. Though UH is a little old-school with some of their school equipment (can you say chalkboard?), some facilities are a little run-down, and there's a serious lack of school spirit, the rest of UH is pretty awesome. So make this school yours.

Breanna

The atmosphere at UH is relaxed, that was the draw for me. I didn't have an opportuntity to see a lot of other campuses before applying to University of Hawaii, but visited the campus while on vacation my junior year and fell in love with the beauty of the island. There aren't many schools in the United States you can say that about. I grew up in Los Angeles and really like being away from the fast pace of the big city. I spend a lot of my time studying down on Waikiki Beach, need I say more.

Brandon

The diversity of culture is one of the most interesting things I've discovered. I'm a white male; but a minority on the island. My exposure to the Polynesian culture and language has been an educational experience in itself and I like the "chill" island culture. The beauty is hard to describe and I love the warm, tropical climate. It is also less expensive than others because it is part of the Western Exchange Student Program.

there is a scientific diving certification program and it is near the largest marine reserve in the world (northwest hawaiian islands).
