The classes offered are amazing! Especially the Hawaiian language classes and Ohana classes. They give amazing insight into ideas that have probably never crossed a typical American's mind before. It's not just those classes that do that however, but almost every class and professor challenges students to think outside of everything they've known.
Another thing that jumps out at you is how passionate the professors are about their subjects. I've spoken to multiple students about this and all agreed that even if they don't enjoy the subject, just the passion of their professors keeps them coming back.
Its easy to pass the classes as long as you take notes and do all the assignments. The professors are all fair graders.

My experience at University of Hawaii Hilo has and continues to be an amazing journey. Everyone is very friendly, classes are great, and the sight is worth seeing!
I love the feeling of Ohana as soon as you step onto campus. The faculty and staff is so friendly and helpful as well as devoted to helping you succeed. There is so much diversity here, that it is easy to learn about new cultures and meet people from all over the world. The campus could use some updating with their buildings and dining hall facility, but overall the schools location makes it hard to complain. With the beach just down the road and plenty of cool, hidden waterfalls, you will never find yourself bored.
