I think people who don't want to work hard should not attend this school. People who are going to sign the Honor Code and then not abide by the rules should not attend BYU Hawaii. You'd think it would just be a fun place to goof off and pretend to be a student but it's not only play, it takes a disciplined student to be enrolled here.

Depending on your personality all different kinds of people should attend this school for at least a short period of time. However, people who have the corporate ladder climbing type of personality would probably not appreciate this universities atmosphere. While there is still absolutely a competitive spirit we also have the spirit of Aloha-and we enjoy it. I have many friends who are top of their class but would probably not be the top at another university with a higher attendance rate.

Students who are still contemplating their majors should not attend here. Students who want to take their time in achieving their degree should not attend here. This school is a very fast paced one with direct tracks to graduation. If a person is not willing to work above and beyond average, this is probably not the best school option for them. Also, the school is Christian-based and requires the students to abide by an honor code. Persons who are not spiritually motivated will struggle if they attend here. Anyone who lacks passion for the beach should not attend!

If you are looking for a really competitive school with big classes this is not the school for you. If you are looking for a school that isn't really religious this is not the school for you. This school has some pretty strict rule and standards that some people find overbearing, so if you don't like rules this may not be the school for you.

Someone who is independent and stable. The school is on the Island of Oahu, on Hawaii's north shore. It takes someone who is fine with potentially only seeing their family once a year because of traveling expenses. The north shore is also more "country" and is secluded from the fast pace of the big city.

Students who are interested in social parties which include drinking and drugs should not attend Brigham Young University-Hawaii. This campus has high standards required of each student to follow. That kind of inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. Also, students who are not interested in learning about other cultures, or who have racial prejudices against students of other countries should not attend this school. There is a special, culturally rich student population here, which is unlike any other school which should be used to its fullest potential, creating links between the world by making friends with students from other countries.

Someone who is looking for extremely high standards! Don't come here if you want an experience like Harvard or MIT.

A person who loves a vibrant city life would fine Brigham Young University boring. The campus is situated in Laie, which is on the north shore of Oahu, is in a secluded area of the island with lots of nature and greenery.

I'd say someone who loves to get involved. students throughout campus are involved and most of them are very friendly too. If you like the heat, you're friendly, and like to have fun then this would be the school for you.

Someone who is not very religious or does not like to abide by the rules should consider a different school. This school is very religious and the religious veiws of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are often incorporated into the classes. The school is also very strict on dress code and maintaining high standards, so if you do not like being told what to do or how to dress I would suggest somewhere else.
