University of Hawaii at Manoa Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Julia

Truthfully, the best thing about UH Manoa is the location. Being able to study in “paradise” is such a blessing and a great opportunity, not only because of the beautiful weather, happy people, and the mix of modernization and the keeping of traditions, but because the land itself is essentially a research lab. There is so much to discover and explore in Hawaii’s nature and it’s all right at your fingertips at UH Manoa.

The research-driven focus of the university.

Felicia

We have a college dedicated to agriculture called the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) at UH Manoa. It is what I am going to school for and I know their program has a huge success rate.

Kara

Located in quite a multicultural metropolis, the campus is situated at the base of a residential valley (manoa)...It is walking distance from the beach and the mall and is only a bus ride away from all sides of the island. Because of our great paradise weather, many students dine outdoors, have picnics, study on the grass, and just spend a lot of down time under the beautiful Hawaiian sky.

It's in Hawaii! There's a Japanese garden, a Thai Pavilion, a traditional Korean building, oh and...palm trees.

Miguel

It's in fucking Hawaii!

Jenifer

The food is the best because it is influenced by the variety of cultures that you encounter on campus.

I consider the school spirit the best thing about my shcool. I began at a small university that did not feel like a college but more like offices with students just going to school to get out. At UH Manoa, there is a lot of school spirit and enthusiasm for the school sports and events. The school also holds many concerts on campus to accomodate students who are not interested in sports and focus more on music.

Taylor

I think the best thing about m campus is that if you want something, there are many people that are willing to help you get to the goal that you want

Chelsey

The best thing about UH Manoa is the convenience and availability of a variety of resources and activities. The Bus (public transportation) can take you pretty much anywhere that you need to go. The beach is less than 1-2 miles away, and the school has many resources in which you can rent supplies or take courses (such as surfing lessons or scuba diving). They also provide on-campus activities such as concerts or movie nights. Additionally, I enjoy my classes a lot.

Wendy

I feel that the University of Hawaii has a prestigious history in Hawaii and to be a graduate of nursing school will be highly regarded in the community. UH has a beautiful campus and offers many student activities. The nursing program at UH is a traditional program where you follow through with cohorts. The connections made will last a lifetime.

Bumki

For me, the best things about my school is that its a place where one can make lots of friends. The reason is that in any class you go to, there's always going to be at least one person who someone can easily get along with and talk about things both inside and outside of class.

Justine

The best thing about my school is that it's a very diverse community full of many friendly colleages and professors. They make college a worthwhile experience.

Isaac

Personally, the friendly-natured students. There are no cliques or crews, really. Just a polychromatic gellatinous blob of eager young adults looking for any way to stave off an average mark for just ONE MORE SEMESTER, ONE MORE PAPER, ONE MORE QUIZ. From study groups perfectly cut up into multi-ethnic slices to completely platonic review sessions between two nerds and half of the women's volleyball team, Manoa students see no melanin or slanted eyes or blue iris' of a white devil. Only the light on the other side of the bell curve.

Brandon

There are many great things about University of Hawaii. They have some great academic programs, a diverse but friendly student body, concerned professors and lots to do. It is like being exposed to a whole different culture while still living in the good ol' U.S.A. Best of all, it's like what they say in real estate, "Location, location, location!" Where else can you get a great education in a tropical paradise with a perfect climate and study on some of the best beaches in the world?

Aja

I think that the best thing about my school is that I'm close to home and the beach. The people and teachers are great, but I love the beach.

anita

the campus shuttle. i'm disabled and without it i would never be able to get around our campus.

Philip

From the first moment I stepped off the bus and on to the UH campus grounds I was warmed and welcomed by the people that make up the community at and surrounding the university. UH is a place of beutiful ethnic diversity and history, and ensures that students come away with an understanding not only of the subjects that are studied for your major, but also local culture and that of many Asian nationalities.

Ednalyn

The teachers in the school are all nice and try to help you out when you have a question or having problems understanding homework and lectures. They also keep in touch with students, for example, if one student were absent they would call that student and see if theyre okay and they also email what the student misses.
