Laie, HI
Brigham Young University-Hawaii

It's a small school on the island of Oahu, filled with the Aloha spirit. It's easy to feel like a family and have much-needed support during your academic journey. I love small classroom sizes and appreciate being around others who share similar values to me, as well as the diverse cultures the school has accumulated from all over the world. It is truly a unique academic experience.

BYU-Hawaii is a great school that has opportunities for all kinds of people. They have over 80 different majors and minors that are offered to give students a variety of classes to choose from. The atmosphere here is also very welcoming and studious. Education is very valued and the professors and advisors want to help you as you go along your college experience. This school is wonderful and beautiful to attend and I am proud to be a part of the BYU-Hawaii Ohana.

BYU-Hawaii provides a unique atmosphere for learning. With students from over 70 different countries and a large focus on diversity and culture, I left the university with a new view of the world. Your education is well-rounded, founded in academic learning, social interactions, cultural exploration, and of course being located in Hawaii, a great appreciation for nature and the world around you. The student body is small allowing for smaller class sizes and more one-on-one learning. I was able to cater my education and degree to exactly my needs. The faculty were so supportive of my goals and aspirations, and they were highly qualified. The campus is safe, the students all know each other, and the sense of community is beyond description. It's an amazing school built to educate students looking to go out into and change the world.

I absolutely love it! Without this school I would be lost as to getting an education! The family vibe of the students really relieved my stress and enriched my learning. Also the lie student to staff ratio helped me have more one on one experiences so I felt I was getting what I payed out of school. The teachers are almost always willing to help you better understand the discussions and material and will help you progress

This school is rich in culture and opportunity. If you want to achieve it, someone here will help. The school has excellent teachers who want you to succeed. You will rarely feel unwelcomed because of the aloha spirit that everyone enjoys. There are also many great opportunities to meet with companies for internships and future job offers.

I love this school. I know I am supposed to be here, and there is no other school that would fit me as well as this one. It is a tiny school, not much bigger than my high school, but if you are okay with that it's the perfect place to go. The people here love God, and if you're willing to go on long drives there's so many beautiful things to see and adventures to have.

BYU-Hawaii is an amazing school. It represents over 70 different countries and cultures. You meet people from all over, creating connections you wouldn't be able to at any other place. It's a small campus where you are able to get from one side to the next in under 10 minutes. Class sizes are small, so you are able to know your professor personally and obtain the help needed. They care about each student, that they do well academically, but also learn appropriate behavior for the world. The purpose is to send out graduated students who will make a positive impact on the world.

Brigham Young University-Hawaii is a diverse campus where education is important and differences are embraced. The professors know their students by name and usually are willing to work with students one on one if needs be. There are many employment opportunities available on campus. Students are held to high standards of conduct which foster in a focus on studies and wholesome recreation. All who attend school there feel part of a family, and it makes the normal stresses of university bearable and enjoyable.

BYU-Hawaii is far more different than I had originally thought it would be. When I walked onto the campus, I was certainly tired from the plane ride, but i was also elated and felt so much friendliness from the locals. David O. McKay, who founded this school, had a vision for the future, that this college would be more than a college; that it could be an environment where peoples of all races and cultures could gather together and live in peace and harmony. Every day, I'm meeting people from all over the world, from Samoa, Japan, Norway, etc. You just never know what stories you'll find here. There are of course social cliques, but that is to be expected. It's honestly impossible to escape those no matter where you are. The work is hard, but I really do feel the love throughout each day I am here. I would rate my experience at this school as overall positive.

If you want an environment where you can learn, serve and grow, this is a great school. It is incredibly diverse culturally, students are from all around the world, class sizes are small and there's an Aloha spirit all over town, a spirit of love and respect.
