UH Manoa is a school where you get back every ounce of work you put in. It's a great school to be in, especially for the money, with professors from all over the world and from very 'prestigious' colleges. Even in large classes, professors make themselves available.

The best thing about my school is the fact that it is really friendly. Most students are willing to help if you are struggling in courses and it is easy to socialize with other students and faculty. Counselors and advisors are very helpful in making sure you get things done correctly. Students are very friendly and i feel safe living in my school.

The best thing about this school is it's natural beauty. In the distance you can see a lush covered mountain, and on campus there are many trees to give a feeling of relaxation. Next to my dorm there's a Hawaiian taro field. If you look at it, you feel as though a little piece of history has been preserved and placed in the city.

The University of Hawaii at Manoa is great because of its diversity. There are so many different ethnic groups represented on campus, that anyone can feel welcomed. Being a liberal college, there are a lot of open minds on campus, and it's great that professors and administrators encourage the creative ideas of the students.

The diversity. There are students here from around the world, especially from Asian countries. This allows us to interact and share viewpoints with many different cultures. This is very important for students here who will need that cultural knowledge and sensitivity living and working in a cultural melting pot such as Hawaii. It teaches us a respect and tolerance that I think is unique to Hawaii. I love meeting classmates from places like South Korea and Japan, and listening to their opinions about international affairs. Then I go to French Club and speak French with my friends from Paris!

The best thing about my school is that there is so many diversity. There are many local people, such as myself, mainlanders, and also international people. I think that since Hawaii in general is diverse, the campus is even more diversified and I enjoy it because it seems like people from all over the world come here and they each represent where they came from uniquely.

The best thing about my school is the location. Located in the breezy Manoa Valley the climate and atmosphere are always perfect. The surrounding beaches and enviornment are the best in the United States and cannot be matched by any other university.
