Brigham Young University-Hawaii Top Questions

I think the best thing about this school is the variety of cultures and the atmosphere that comes from that. You come to learn about and love people from all over the world, learning new ways to do things and new ways of thinking. Being with so many different kinds of people helps you to come to a better understanding of cultural practices. Studying in so much diversity brings about new ideas that you may never have experienced otherwise.

The importance placed on moral values at this school is the best thing. Too much time and money is wasted when students become stuck in frivolous things outside of studies, treating school like a playground social event. Because of this unfortunate period of development, many don't obtain proper skills and the mind set necessary to succeed and make the most out of their studies. This school places strong emphasis on its "Honor Code" of conduct. This allows us to steer away from those things that would distract from success in studies and encourages us to become greater people.

The best thing I consider about this school is that I was able to meet people from all over the world and learn about them. My eyes were opened. I was so ignorant.

The best thing about our school is that everyone is friendly. There are no cliques. Everyone accepts other's ethnicity. That being said, this campus is International-friendly.

The campus is beautiful. BYU-Hawaii is located in a small town on the north shore of Oahu. The weather is always perfect, so traveling by foot or bike are very cost-effective and enjoybal means of travel. The class sizes are small which allow for more teacher/student interaction. I have only visited the campus a few times, but have not started school there yet, so I do not know all the wonderful things it has to offer yet, but I know there will be many more.
