Alysha

The worst thing about the University of Hawaii at Manoa is transportation. The parking stalls are always filled. Meanwhile the packed bus is a four hour roundtrip headache.

Nikki

Lack of professors who stays for a long time and teaches the same course at the campus.

Kathleen

Unfortunately, my university is extremely over crowded. It is difficult to register for classes and if you are fortunate enough to enroll in a particular class, there is always the challenge of finding a decent seat. It is very competitive in the classroom; students arrive over fifteen minutes early in order to get seat that is close to the professor.

Jordan

I think that the worst thing about my school is that some things need an update, like old buildings and facilities, but because of budget cuts these things aren't possible.

Lillian

I believe the on campus housing could be better. There could be more space in the rooms, but I believe that is not a very big deal. every other aspect of my school I am in love with.

Mike

What I consider the worst thing about my school would be the lack of professors and money for more classes. Now that the school is financialy in trouble there are less professors than before, there are also less classes to choose from because the school can not afford to keep many of the classes they are offering, in addition to that the classes are quickly filled therefore there are many students who do not attend school.

Right now we're going through a lot of budget cuts. Being that it is a huge public university, many things are run down. There are definitely downsides to attending a public university than a private one. The dorms are run down, the buildings are mediocre. And with all of the financial issues, tuition goes up, available classes go down, some departments are getting cut. We're running on a low budget, and the students are definitely feeling it in quantity of classes, and value of education.

There is absolutely no campus life whatsoever on campus. There are only 2 sororities and 2 fraternities which doesn't give alot of options for students that do want to join the greek life on campus. It really is the worst thing on campus because a majority of the time there is nothing to do so you are left walking around or just sitting at the beach doing nothing.

Marissa

The worst thing about UH Manoa is the complete lack of campus life. This school has a PTA that pretty much killed the social ilfe on campus

Since being in the school of architecture the program has undergone a dramtic change. it has been difficult for me because they add classes on for us to take. This is unfair to us, and it costs us a large amount of extra money.
