Most Helpful Review for University of Hawaii at Manoa

This school does not truly value academics. For instance, math is a requirement, but there is an easy way around it. Students can take intro to logic, a very easy class, instead. Too much of the school's money goes to athletics, and it shows with their current budget crunch and the condition of the older parts of the campus.

    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.

    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.

    This is a great university and very convenient for commuters. The classes are challenging, but the student body is a little lazy. Professors here are amazing.

    The University of Hawaii is a very relaxed school; the professors wear aloha shirts and slippers and are very understandable about missing classes. It is a semester system so it is very easy to think you don't have to do work right away, but then you will quickly find yourself behind. Lastly, most of the students are very nice and respectful of each other and there are a lot of asians.
