Starting school at UH Manoa during the pandemic, it was difficult at first to meet people, make friends and connections. Over time, however, I have grown to love this school and call it home. In the Earth Science department, I feel well equipped to pursue internships, research projects, and jobs in my field. What I would like to see change lies within the academic advising sector. I've often found myself dreading course planning meetings for fear of confusion and unclear advice. This is something I've experienced since I've started at this university, something I've suggested change in but have yet to see. I think that if the University as a whole could better their advising programs, students would feel much better equipped and empowered to make our own schedules, as well as feel confident that we are taking courses that will push us toward the ultimate goal of graduation!
UHM was definitely an interesting place to attend, kind of a mixed bag in my opinion. I love the ambiance! Everything was really chill and you could walk/run at your own pace and everyone relatively stays in their own lane. Some of the faculty either doesn't seem qualified to be there or they don't care about your success. The departments tend to run on "island time" so anything formal such as inquiries regarding dorm requests, building management, enrollment information, etc., typically is a little lagged. Overall, I would enroll again knowing what I know now and now having to do it during COVID again.
