I think what's unique about this school is that they have Honor Code or also known as Code of Honor. These are standards we need to keep and follow. And I know it's these standards, the Honor Code that enable this school to have this safe studying environment possible for us.

The mix of people from different cultures makes this school unique. This situation allows one to make friends with people from different places around the world with most continents of the world very well represented.

BYU-Hawai'i is distinctly set apart from other colleges that were considered because of the diversity of its student body. Individuals from all different nooks and crannies of the world attend the school, creating an enticing smorgasbord of ethnic variation. A remarkably rich environment nurtured by the hearts and minds of students from all over the creation can be found nestled right within the bosom of BYU-Hawai'i, unified within the true spirit of aloha.

For one, it is in Hawaii. That alone makes it on a different level than the others considered. The student are from over 70 different countries and there are at least 5 students from each coutry. It is a small campus, no more than 2,500 students. The motto, "Enter to Learn: Go Forth to Serve" really had an impact. The history of how it emerged and the sacrifice of those who attend. Specifically the students from all over the world who don't know English and rarely see their families while attending because of costs.

It's a safe haven for people who want to study without the influences of partying and drinking and drugs. Sure, those influences are still here but they are very controlled. We have a free life to have fun and study but we are also always being watched over incase we need help.

That most of the students here are Mormon so we have very high standards and don't drink, do drugs, or have sex before we are married. That makes for a very different collage experience. A much better experience in my opinion.

The racial diversity is amazing; I love that in a class of 30 people, easily 10 different countries can be represented. It?s a fantastic place to learn about other cultures and people from around the world. It is also an amazingly friendly place to live. This is one of the few places I have been to in my life where when you walk down the sidewalk everyone you pass smiles and waves. Brigham Young Uniersity- Hawaii is such an astounding environment to get an education in.

The amount of cultural diversity is mind blowing. Being white, I am the minority. There are so many people from different countries that most of your roommates won't speak the same language.
Tiffany
There are many students who have the same standards and belief as i.

The unique thing about BYU-Hawaii is the spirit of Aloha that is present everywhere you go. There are students at this school from all walks of life, but they are all here for the same purpose. The unity that holds this campus together is one that overlooks cultural, ethical, and personality differences that could otherwise really divide a student body. This type of environment helps during studies because one does not have to worry about the stresses of trying to fit in or standing alone. The students are unified to "enter to learn and go forth to serve".
