The University of Hawaii at Manoa is great because of its diversity. There are so many different ethnic groups represented on campus, that anyone can feel welcomed. Being a liberal college, there are a lot of open minds on campus, and it's great that professors and administrators encourage the creative ideas of the students.

The diversity. There are students here from around the world, especially from Asian countries. This allows us to interact and share viewpoints with many different cultures. This is very important for students here who will need that cultural knowledge and sensitivity living and working in a cultural melting pot such as Hawaii. It teaches us a respect and tolerance that I think is unique to Hawaii. I love meeting classmates from places like South Korea and Japan, and listening to their opinions about international affairs. Then I go to French Club and speak French with my friends from Paris!
