University of Hawaii at Manoa Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Hawaii at Manoa? Why?

Cody

I think the only bad thing about the school is that some of the native Hawaiians haze you if you are white and from the main land; This can cause you to feel secluded and can affect what you do socially. They use Haole to describe you, which is a word used mainly in Hawaii to describe a white person., but depending on how someone says it, the word can be an insult.

Some not all of the uperclass men think that they are to smart to help out others.

The worst thing about my school is all the construction going on around campus. I feel that they have been fixing things up ever since I started attending here. The food here is also pretty expensive, especially for us not-so-rich college students.

Nicole

The faculty and staff. They tell you so many different lies to get you out of their office.

not being able to get the classes i need to graduate in four years because some of the courses are only offered during the fall or spring.

parking is one of the worst things about school. If you're not a junior or senior the chances of you getting a parking pass are slim to none and getting into the parking lot after 8:30am is impossible without the pass. Now that i am a non-transferring junior i got the parking pass, but the previous semester as a transfer student i had to get to school by 8:00am just to get parking.

The worst thing about my school is the distance from home for some people. It is such a cultural shock coming to Hawaii and i think it's really hard for some people to adjust to being so far away from friends and family, especially when hard times hit.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of organization amongst authority and administration. Everyone from coaches to teachers are unorganized, don't return phone calls or don't care. It is very bad for business relations and communication when a student needs to take care of something and cannot attain help.

The worst thing about our school would be the parking and the student housing. We have one parking structure that is easily accessable to campus, but is "closed to passes" by 8:15am. If you do happen to get in before 8:15a, you have to pay $3. There is some free street parking, as well as metered parking, but those are very hard to get. I park in an area where I need to catch a shuttle to and from my cars. As for our student housing, it is old, isolated, and doesn't feel safe at night.
