Jacob

While I stand proudly for the school I am going to, if I could offer two bits of advice to the school it would be to update the webstie more frequently, and respond promptly to messages left. :)

I could graduate this semester if one of my classes was offered more frequently. Instead I have to graduate in April because that one class is only offered during winter semester.

Housing and the meal plans. Freshmen have to stay on campus until you have so many credits. You also have to sign a contract for housing and a meal plan. It is pretty expensive and there is pretty much no way to get out of it. It takes away the opportunity for one to plan and budget for themselves. Making it so that we give so much money and they give us so much food, even though it is not the food we want or can really afford.

Brigham Young University- Hawaii offers an education unique to many other universities around the world. It is an opportunity of a lifetime to come and study here in Hawaii. Not only do you recieve a top-notch education within the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. BYU-Hawaii is so culturally diverse that you will learn new things about the world and its cultures everyday. The only negative aspect of this Institution is lack of class flexibility during some of the semesters, since it can only offer certain classes during certain semesters due to its small student body.

the most frustrating about my school is that we are only few students.

There's so many opportunities and I wish I could be apart of all of them. There's so many things that I wish I had time and means to study and develop talents in. It can be frustrating to have to pick only a couple things.

The most frustrating thing about Brigham Young University is also one of its greatest attributes, that being its laid back attitude. The university is enthusiastic about learning and helping students acquire high morals while making them capable of building up their home countries when they graduate but it very much has a worry free Hawaiian attitude. A lot of the time it takes a little longer to get things done than it would at universities in the mainland because nobody here is in a hurry.

Nothing is frustrating!

Whitney

I think the most frustrating thing is the relaxed atmoosphere. It keeps things from feeling too stressful, but on the other hand, it also makes it feel as if things never get done.

One thing that is frustrating for those who attend Brigham Young University - Hawaii is the difficulty to pay for college. BYU-H is located in a very small town which doesn't provide a huge work force for the whole student body. Many students are still unemployed. Even without taking education into consideration, living in this area is very expensive. Minimum wage is the usual reward for those that do have a job. Such circumstances lead students, myself included, to work two jobs while attending school full-time.
