The University of Hawaii at Hilo is best known academically for its marine biology and Hawaiian studies programs. As a school, however, it has a strong identity because of its relatively small student population and their importance in the community. The university is a big part of life in Hilo, as everyone has at least one family member that is studying there. Everybody in town attends performances at the UHH Performing Arts Center or listen to the student run community radio station, University Radio Hilo. Also, UH-Hilo is well known for its splendid natural surroundings and rain.

I think this school is best known for the amazing specified subject areas and the teachers and research that come with it. Living in Hawaii it is the perfect place to study marine life and astronomy. That being said the nursing program here along with the marine science major are our pride and joy and really draw people in to attend the University of Hawaii at Hilo.

Have you ever walked into a class and everyone just stared at you? I have and it's really embrassing. But at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo, there's that feeling of acceptance when you walk into the class room. Instead of feeling like an outcast or a stanger, you have a classroom full of friends. The fact that the University of Hawai'i at Hilo, makes everyone pretty close. And I believe that's what UHH is known for, our closeness to each other, hospitality, love and acceptance of everyone.
