Brigham Young University-Hawaii Top Questions

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

Kirtland

I would have to say tha dress code and many other components of the Honor Code bother me the most. I see no reason as to why sports clothing cannot be worn to class and the cafe , along with why facial hair is not permitted. Worst of all, women are not allowed in the dorms, and parties are non existant. The school basically clamps down on you and restricts freedoms that really are quite reasonable and widel y accepted.

The worst thing about my school is the laid-back "island attitude" that a lot of the students, faculty and staff seem to have. Because our campus is quite small, it seems that people have become comfortable with one another. Although in most situations this would be nice, it can lead to unprofessional work settings and many times I have found myself feeling frustrated with the lack of proficiency in the financial aid, registry, and student occupation system. However, this is only problem I have encountered while attending BYU-H.

The run-abouts the university gives you.

The top-bottom approach to things. We are a very small school in a small community, yet sometimes the university administration tries to run as if we were Harvard.

Lina

The worst thing about my school is that it is so far from home. Besides the fact that the school is located somewhere where I have to fly home to see my family, there is nothing wrong with the school. Even the location cannot really be seen as a bad thing because it is in Hawaii. Even though I have to travel a far distance to see my relatives, the location is not something to complain about. Since when is warm weather, ocean, sand, and tropical plants a bad thing?

I haven't attended the school yet so this information is N/A yet.

The thing that I wish I could change is the classes offered here at the university. I wish that they provided more options, but our school isn't very old so it hasn't had much time to expand.

The worst thing about this school is not really part of the school system. In my opinion, the worst part is the area in which it is located. It is in a very remote part of the island and most students do not own vehicles, making it difficult to get to stores or really anywhere without taking the bus. Being out in the middle of nowhere makes being a new student a little bit more uncomfortable experience when first moving away from home.

The cost of living is very high and as international student from a third world country, i found it difficult to pay my tuition, and other expenses of the school and the assistance alloted unto me is not enough to support myself throughout the four year degree program.If you will assist me with Aid or Grant i would be please to honor such a privilege and use it to further my education.The knowledge that i will acquire to serve the community and the people. It is my honor to be part of this organization.Thank you

The housing is pretty expensive for a student, it is a high pay rent in all the town, is a kind of hard to find a good deal for housing.
