What do you consider the worst thing about Brigham Young University-Hawaii? Why?

Well, a lot of students would say this, they hate eating at the cafeteria. I really didn't think about it at first, I actually thought the food was good considering that I was from a different country. But when time went by, I saw what everybody meant by it being horrible. It wasn't how it tasted by the way, it was just the food itself. They would serve the same kinds of food over and over again that you would get tired of it and won't like eating the same kind of cooking and same dish anymore.

One of the negative aspects of Brigham Young University- Hawaii is the lack of majors it provides. The academics here are great, but there aren't as many options or majors to choose from. I think that more majors would boost the schools potential a hundred fold, because every other aspect of the school is phenomenal.

Brigham Young University of Hawaii offers a very unique experiance. It is very diverse and mulitcultural. There is a sense of love for every student. The teachers are caring and want you to succeed. There is an expectation that holds all the students to the next level. I do not have any problems with it.

Probably the beach. While the beach's nearness is the best thing about my school, it's also the worst. It's the number one reason students from the mainland U.S. come to the school. See the problem? Students come to the school for the beach, not to go to school. As a result? The average GPA of the freshmen class is 2.0. Sad, right?

I think that the worst thing about BYU Hawaii is the fact that the beach and ocean is so close, and you have class. It really stinks sometimes when the surf is good, and you are in class. But it still works out, just go after class!

Jamie

The worst thing about Brigham Young University-Hawaii is its proximity to the beach. The beach is less than a 10 minute walk from on-campus housing; so on days that I don't want to study, it's easy to walk away from my pile of books.

Cecilia

The worst thing about this school is probably all of the rules. It is a very private and conservitive church school, which means plenty of things are not allowed. Men can't even have beards at this school, that is an example of how strict it is.

Ali

It's really hard to get ahold of employees/administration when you need them!

Hannah

The worst thing about my school would be the flexible hours. Most of the employees here are students. The school provides flexible work hours for the students; so as an employee, it's nice. Unfortunately, as a student trying to get things done on the weekend, it's not so nice because most things are closed early at night or on the weekends.

I've always felt that this university was ideal. I feel that the university culture is incredible as it facilitates one of the most diverse campuses in the United States with students from over 70 countries. However, with a phase out of NCAA athletics in progress ending in year 2017, I feel the absence of collegiate athletics will be the worst thing about the school. I feel athletics has a way of unifiying students from all nations in a way no other activity can.
