Don't come here unless you have lots of money or guaranteed housing, and not by student housing services. They're pretty good at evicting people a month into the semester, with 3 days notice, and 2 days to recognize that payments have been made.

The University of Hawaii at Manoa is a school of diversity. The school offers a wide variety of courses to satisfy the requirements for the major of a student. Also it is a safe environment to learn.

UHM is a good school and you can get a decent education. The environment in which you learn is very close knit and you can be sure your teachers want you to excel. Being a resident of Hawaii, I can say we are far behind in education which is why professors and advisors push us even harder because they want us to make names for ourselves and be able to succeed in places other than hawaii, they don't want us to be good according to hawaii standards they want us to be excellent everywhere.

It's a great university and a chance to meet a lot of new people. I love it because the people are very nice and welcoming. I was welcomed to their Ohana(family) right away.

We've got it all: sun and surf, unique plants and animals, and an incredibly diverse group of people. Where else can you check out a trip to the island of volcanoes, get ready for sailing club, learn about native plants, and study bioengineering...in January in a T-shirt?

The school is a good liberal arts college, where you can meet people from all over the world, and learn about the rich culture of Hawaii. This school is especially good for those interested in marine biology.

It is a beautiful campus that is surrounded by the mountains, ocean, and sun. The student body is nice and friendly to everyone and the professors are helpful when asked. It is also easy to get in to and you can learn some stuff.

I am currently taking online courses with University of Hawaii. I enjoy taking the online courses because it gives me time to work while I am working toward my degree. The classes are online, but we meet about once a month on a Skype like program, which makes it easier to talk to and get to know the professor.

The professors interact with there students. They understand that in big lectures it is hard to grasp what is being taught. They are easy to get in contact with and they will meet with you during their office hours if you have any questions. Professors will also inform students of tutoring opportunities if they are struggling with the work for that class. The atmosphere on campus is very laid back and relaxing and there is a lot of aloha spirit.

pretty diverse school with sports, academics, and many oppurtunities.
