Brigham Young University-Hawaii Top Questions

The worst thing about the school is that they have lots of strict rules and polycies some of them does not seem fair. Such as I bought flex dollar card last semester and I did not use them all and I did not know that I was supposed to use all before the semester ends. I ended up losing almost 200$ for useless candies and gums to use the money which was left in my account.

The school is very small so if a student is used to larger campuses, this may not be the place for you. On the other hand, students get more one on one time with professors which helps facilitate learning.

Outdated facilities (but they are currently renovating, under construction!)

I would say the off campus housing for married couples. There is definitely not much married housing here.

I have very little to complain about. The only thing that ever bothers me about it is that it is so far from everything. I'm not the kind of person who likes going out on the town or anything, but it's an hour to the closest Walmart, so if I need to buy anything that I can't get at the grocery store, I'm pretty much out of luck.

What I would consider as being the worst thing about school is part-time tuition and the cost of living on campus.

The worst thing about my school is having to work around a rigid offer of classes. They don't offer the same ones every semester and in order for me to continue going there I have to work over the summer, which makes it quite difficult to have a schedule that works for me. It would be nice if they at least offered certain classes more than one semester in order to give people some leniency.

While Suffolk University is a private school, it is smaller than some of its counterparts in that it has fewer resources. In terms of housing, there are officially only three dorm buildings. Securing on-campus housing is limited for sophomores and out of scope for juniors and seniors. Due to the school’s Downtown location, finding an apartment close enough to walk to campus can be costly.

Laie is a very nice place to live but it could be too small community to live in for some students. Sometimes it feels like there are no challenges to make students stronger than they are.

My least favorite part of campus would be the bathrooms in the dorms. The dorms are old. They aren't as clean as I would like them to be. To make a room appear cleaner than it is, one should start with the corners and edges of the walls. I don't think they have been washed well in years! On the weekends, the bathrooms don't get cleaned, so by Monday they are a disaster area. We need cleaner, updated facilities (where the pipes don't make scary noises) and different colored tiling on the walls. Please.
