University of Hawaii at Manoa Top Questions

The question, "what do I wish I had known before I came to this school?", is fairly easy to answer. I wish I had known how wonderful all the professors are , how much I would have loved the classes and how many programs are available to help someone in dire financial straits! I would have come back to school much earlier to finish my degree!

the total cost for the entire two year program i am in

UH Manoa just cut my major. I would tell future students to make sure they know the financial position of the school before they make a final decision. Make sure you ask and get advising from more than one person on your program. I am now in the position of trying to find another school on the mainland that offers my program so I can actually graduate sometime. UH Manoa was the only school here in Hawaii that offered Speech Pathology.

I really wish I had known how to deal with the red tape. The administrators at UH Manoa and the faculty/students don't get along very well, leading to a lot of run-around with issues like student housing and parking.

I wish I had known the exact planning of my 4 year degree in order to finish in 4 years. I went to a Community College for a little over two years in order to take freshman and sophomore classes, but took a lot more elective which did not advance me in anyway. I advise all students to have a great plan entering school, so that they know what exact classes will be needed and how long it will take until Graduation.

I wish I'd known how much core classes I'd have to take since there's so many requirements I have to fill.

nothing

I wish I had known how unwilling the faculty and staff are in helping incoming and transferring students at this university. Also, I wish I had known that the majority of students here are only attending this university because it is cheaper and they don't really care about academics.

That there were so many undergrad general prerequngisites to take before graduati

How unlike it is compared to many mainland universities.
