The Good: Excellent distance learning for students who live off island! Professors and school staff are friendly and supportive. Beaches are close by for breaks.
The Bad: Laulima website used by almost every professor crashes often and can cramp your style in a major way so work should be turned in well before deadlines to avoid this. Also, the beaches can eat up your entire day so maybe study first.
The Ugly: Tuition is insane. Highly recommend finding places to donate plasma/blood/etc or do some busking to help with tuition. If tuition doesn't scare you, the housing costs will for sure. Also, sunburns from napping at the beach -because midterms kept you up all night are brutal.

My initial experience with the University of Hawaii was great! They offer so many clubs, activities, and events throughout the semesters. At UHM, they also offer counseling to help you figure out your classes and opportunities for your major. Because I was a freshman last year they require that first year students dorm together which wasn't the best living conditions, but I still made a lot of friends in my tower and bonded well with my randomly assigned roommate.
The University of Hawaii at Manoa is an amazing school that offers many Degrees that fit students future plans. Professors here are caring and give students time where they are able to help or answer questions they might have before and after classes. Students here are divers and come from all around the world. UHM has a large student exchange program, where students here can go to a different country to study for a semester for the same price as going to school here; Because of this we also allow students from out of the country to attend school here bring along their own cultural background. Another Great thing about the University of Hawaii at Manoa is they offer assistants to any student who need it, ranging from not knowing what career path the want to take to helping them with their mental health at the counseling center. I would recommend the University of Hawaii at Manoa to any person looking to meeting new people from different backgrounds and looking for a great education.
