Brigham Young University-Hawaii Top Questions

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

Karen

I consider the worst thing about Brigham Young University-Hawaii is that it is going to be so far away from my family. My family lives in Oklahoma and we're all going to be so far apart. I am going to miss them; however, I'm Samoan and being in Hawaii will help me learn a lot about my culture and heritage. Being the first of my family to go to college is a great opportunity. Indeed the worst thing about BYU is to be far away from my family, but I'll be at the best school.

It is a little small town as we are out in the country. It is really difficult to get to most stores.

Hoiki

It might be very bad if you are not a LDS member, as this school is set up for the LDS youths, so the rules mgiht be very tight if you are not a members.

Nephi

I feel that the housing situation here at Brigham Young University to be the worst thing about the school. This is because the school is planning to expand its enrollment, which creates a problem for students looking for housing.

Harmony

There are a few things I don't necessarily agree with at BYU-H, and one of those things is the lack of information on the website. It was easy to reach someone when I had a question, but when I asked it, it felt as if the person on the other end wasn't listening to the entire question. In a way, I wouldn't really blame them (there are a lot of student employees), but when it came to getting information I couldn't access online or by letter, I had to call around and around.

Whitney

The worst thing about the school is that freshman have to live on campus their first year.

Jared

The worst thing about BYUH is on campus housing and services. The on campus housing is extremely small andto many requirements to qualify to get to live off campus. Also getting anything fixed is impossible and overall cleanlines is extremely low.

Carolyn

The worst thing about the school is that there isn't as big of a range of majors as there is at bigger schools. There are students who would love to get their higher education here, in a subject that isn't offered as a major.

Lacey

The worst aspect of Brigham Young University is the housing situation. On-campus housing is expensive, small, outdated, and their meal plans are not very accommodating. Also the off campus situation is not much better. Living off campus is cheaper; however, the living conditions are for the most part as outdated and run-down. There are no apartment complexes which force all the single students to live in houses that are lacking facilities such as full kitchens and laundry. Also the president of the school increased the student population without planning for more housing, which have caused housing shortages.

Lizzie

The worst thing about BYU-H is that they do not have adequate housing for the number of students they accept. This is the worst thing because besides this BYU-H is a great school but it is hard for students to find housing and that creates a big problem.
