Most students that attend University of Hawaii at Hilo are adventurous yet easy going. Since this college is in Hawaii there are so many opportunities for students not from Hawaii to get caught up in the beauty of Hawaii that it could be a disctraction from their studies. On the other hand it could also be a great motivator for students to work hard to stay at this University. It it ultimately up to that individual. Overall this University is very friendly and welcoming to all. It is a cultural melting pot.

A person who likes relatively big classes and the country side, meaning that there isn't much activity around the area. Also, a person who likes hot weather with ocassional vog and rain should attend this school.

Students interested in marine biology and agriculture degrees, there will be a need for that kind of growth here. Sustainability has recently become a common concern on the Hawaiian Islands. The journalism here is young, and so entrepreneurial type students may want to take advantage of the need for media.
