Brigham Young University-Hawaii

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.

Brigham Young is the most amazing place to learn and live. It feels as if I'm learning at the hands of God within the walls of the Garden of Eden, Everything here takes my breathe away, and fills my head with thoughts and ideas that make my soul burn bright.

My overall opinion is that this school is absolutely amazing. Its so diverse and welcoming to all different cultures. I love being there because I get to meet people from all over the world. All the professors are friendly and willing to help whenever we need it. I love being at this school. Its absolutely beautiful and theres a spirit there that is just so amazing.

I love Brigham Young University- Hawaii. It is such a diverse place to grown and learn. There are so many different peoples and cultrures represented on such a small campus, that you can meet and become friends with people from Korea, Brazil, and Germany in just one day! The people are friendly, the class size is small, and the teacher-to-student relationship is very personal. I consider myself very lucky to participate in the activities and learn here. Who knew that one small island could bring so many different people together?

The University is wonderful. It is extremely diverse and the multicultural program is splendid. There are plenty of work opportunities and students value their education since many of them are there on scholarship. People are very social and the classes are engaging.

I will be attending BYU Hawaii though I have not yet been there. I know a lot about it and have talked to some of the teachers and students who are teaching there or who have attended the school. It think it is a very unique school with special goals for its students to influence the world for good. I have heard very good things about the school. I am consistently told I will love it.

Is it an enriching and uplifting environment where we are immersed in a diverse representation of cultures. The education goes beyond the classroom, and we develop ourselves and our character. The school is set up in a way that helps us reach our potential as people and be a positive influence in the world. The north shore is beautiful. But it’s a small town with not much to do, town is a long bus ride away if you don’t have a car.

It's a really good school! Plus, you can have the privilege of being with people coming from over 70 nations of the world! Everyone is really nice and the "Aloha" spirit is very evident. The Faculty really cares for the students and they always look out for students' needs.
