I love how diverse campus is and how I get to meet people from all over the world. There are so many differences in our cultures when compared, yet when I get to know them and spend time in and outside of class, I find we have so much in common. It makes me feel so connected to the rest of the world. It really has helped me see the world with a more global perspective. Here I've learned to I respect others more for their differences and not judge.

The best part about BYUH is the atmosphere and social environment you are in. Everyone is here to study and do work, but also everyone wants to live and love life and those around them. It's a smaller campus and right on the beach, so being with friends and relaxing is a big part of the daily life. You get to meet a lot of people and it's relatively easy to make friends and talk to people. You feel encouraged with school, but not cut throat. It's a great mesh of focus, friendship, and performance.

I think the best thing about this school is that it proviedes me with a safe and reliable studying environment. I'm living at the school dorm and it is such a very good experience living here in an environment where you don't have to care about crimes and all of those things.

One of the best traits of this scchool is its cultural and ethnic diversity. Students come from all over the world and with that comes a plethora of ideas, traditions, and view points. You will have a truly unique experience as you are able to observe and learn more about different cultures. Oppurtunities to try new foods, learn new languages, and observe different lifestyles are in abundace as well as being able to create bonds and friendships on an international level.

The interaction with the students and their professors. The classes are pretty small so it is very easy to get help from the professors and to really get meaningful direction and assistance in projects for classes and for career choices. The professors here really care for the students and really want to do everything that they can to help them succeed in life.

The best thing about BYUH is the student body. The school maintains the "spirit of aloha" or a welcome environment where the student body is a family, and here, we are ohana. With each student I meet, I can see the happiness and the blessing that this college education is in their life. The students here are grateful to learn, not because it is in one the most beautiful places on earth but because we are uplifted through each other. The diversity is rich yet the student body is one in purpose, to learn and then go forth and serve.

The best thing about BYU-Hawaii is the diversity on campus, and the devotion of the teachers to the students.

Brigham Young University-Hawaii is a private university being ran by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And for that reason, I am surrounded by students that have the same beliefs and standards as I do. We work together and being a small school, everyone knows everyone else. I am also able to get to know my professors better than if there were many more students. This provides for a friendly and positive learning experience.

I consider the cultural and ethnic diversity to be the best thing about this campus because it is easy to make new friends from other countries and learn about other places around the world.

The best thing about BYU-H is that they have a vision for students to come to enter, to learn, and to serve. At this school they do not just give us an education , they give us a mission to fulfill in our lives to leave and make the world a better place by serving our fellow beings. They instill this in us and it makes us want to be better people.
