What's the most frustrating thing about Brigham Young University-Hawaii?

I really get frustrated about the amount of homeworks teachers give. There would not be a day that would go by that a student would not have any homework. Every single day I have to check all my school websites just to make sure to check that I didn't miss any homeworks. Especially one's that have so much number of questions to answer which takes me more time than what homeorks should normally take. I mean homeworks aren't bad at all, sometimes it's just very tiring and frustrating when teachers would give too much to do.

I can't be there soon enough.

The most frustrating thing about BYU- Hawaii is the inability to expand and allow more students to attend, due to the small area of land owned by the shcool and the anti-growth activits in the community.

The dress and grooming code feels overly restrictive at times. Sometimes for example, a man might forget to shave and upon entering the test center to take an exam, he would be kindly asked to come back at a later time clean shaven. Every student accepts the dress and grooming standards in order to be accepted into the university, but sometimes the zero-tolerance rule leads to frustrating experiences from what really is only an accident as simple as forgetting to shave.

I think the most frustrating thing about this school is that it is far away from any bigger cities like Honolulu. It takes a while to get there if you go by bus.

Alexis

The most frustrating thing about my school is that sometimes its cloudy and we cant get a tan on the beach! This school is amazing :)

I'm sure you've heard of 'Hawaiian time' as in, everything is late and there is a laid back attitude about work. This campus is not excluded from Hawaiian time. While most professors are pretty good at doing things on time, the majority of school faculty not dedicated to teaching seem to run on Hawaiian time and don't have a sense of urgency in dealing with matters that are important to the students.

Brigham Young University - Hawaii, does suits my personality and my style of learning; the relatively small size of the campus/school creates an opportunity for students and professors to interract intimately. However, i wish more attention and resources would be channelled towards expanding the research scope of the college of math and sciences. Thats what i am most frustrated about, the college of math and science is receiving relatively less attention than the other colleges in the school.

Lucas

The most frustrating about my school is that there are mininum possibilities of receiving scholarships. The school only offers one scholarship according to grades and no other needs.

The school is very slow with paperwork. You can't wait on the school to get things done you need to do everything yourself. Housing is the worst. Everything is a fight. They never have enough housing and living in the dorms can get expensive with all the fines they give.
