The school's motto is "enter to learn, go forth to serve" based on a quote given by a founder of the school which stated that those attending this university would leave to become a great influence for spreading peace throughout the world. It's an institution where all backgrounds are accepted and we're encouraged to step outside of our comfort zone. This pushes us to succeed and encourage each other, because we are all equally learning together.

At Brigham Young University Hawaii, there is one particular unique factor that comes to my mind. There are over 70 different countries that are represented at this school. Different color, different races, different cultures, different languages, and different perspectives all come together at this school and bond as if they were family. Even though diversity is a main distincition within this school, the atmosphere of love and unity it possesses is unique and life changing.

It has a unique culture on it's own that other schools don't seem to have. There's a real spirit of community and friendship on campus and everyone at my school actually wants to be there.

This is my first semester here at BYU Hawaii. I was a transfer student from LDS Business College in Salt Lake City, and decided I needed a change in my life. The moment I walked on campus I fell in love with this school. It's so different than any other university. The one thing that I love about the school is the diverse culture we have here. There are people from all over the world who come to get an education. I'm getting to know people from all over the world and where they came from.

I think our school has two big special qualities. First, our school is very safety. It does not allow the students to smork and drink alcohol. Because of this, we can concentrate on our studies. And then, our school has a lot of foreign students. There are people from more than 70 countries in the school. We can easily make friends from other countries, and we can know their cultures. I do not think there are a lot of schools like our school, so our school is very nice one.

The most unique thing about this school is the religious factor. Religion is a huge part of this schools curriculum and the students are constantly invited and reminded to live by the standards of the latter day saint church. As a student there, you agree to an "Honor Code" that says you promise to abide by these standards. The location also makes it very unique because you are on the beautiful island of Oahu. Many think this would make it difficult to study but the students definitely make time for studying as well as playing.

Byu Hawaii is a very unique campus because it intigrates so many cultures. The campus has 2,500 students and the relationships between student and professor become more personnel. You are't just sitting in a classroom of hundreds of students that only talk to the TA and never the professor. Also, I believe that this is not just a school you go to, but there is a reason why people go here. Thousand of students apply, but only a few get in. I was 2 months late on my application and got in. There is a reason for that.

BYUH is the most culturally-diverse school in the United States, and, I believe, in the world. There are kids from over 70 different countries attending school here.

I have three room mates. One is from mexico, one from China, and another from America. This is truly a unique experience and a great school.

We have over 70 countries represented in our school, we are very diverse in terms of race/ethnicity.

At BYUH, the college experience is enhanced by the fact that it lies near the middle of the Pacific, and is open to many foreign countries as well. This adds a diversity of student ethnicities, and it allows the student body to study and socialize with many different races. Besides that, it is a very beautiful institution, it is located in Laie, Hawaii; and it is well kept. The class sizes are small enough to be considered intimate, and still large enough to be called a class. The instructors are very pleasant. When you are on campus you feel spirited.

The uniqueness about my achool would have to be the more one on one attention you can get. At larger colleges they do not have a lot of one on one teaching, so some students struggle at those larger colleges. But not at SAU. Teachers take pride in trying to get you through the courses.

Growing up in Honolulu, it was a big change to moving into small town Laie. This school is not for party goers, it has a strict Honor Code enforced in the school. I also work for the Polynesian Cultural Center, Hawaii's largest tourist attraction as a Japanese Sales Representative. Brigham Young University Hawaii is designed to serve international student, so the student population is very diverse. Because Laie is a small town, the student board holds events during the weekends for students. There are also students that like to surf at the nearby beaches.

The agreement of the honor code, based on standards established by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , includes abiding by the standards of Christian living taught by the Church, being honest in all behavior, respecting personal and property rights, obeying the law, avoiding drug abuse, complying with all university regulations, observing the church's Word of Wisdom, abstaining from sexual relations outside of marriage, observing high standards of taste and decency, observing university standards of dress and grooming, and helping others fulfill their responsibilities under this code.

To be unique is to be something extraordinary. BYU-Hawaii is unique to other educational institutions because of its spiritually based and culturally diverse atmosphere.

However, the blessings that we recieve through our dedication reflect well within our education. The culturally diverse atmosphere here is unique to the world. Here people and their differences are celebrated and respected; we learn to mold ourselves to one other.

Everybody gets along very well, despite our differences. Another unique thing about this school is the small class size, with the larger classes having only 40-50 students. You are able to develop a strong relationship with all your professors and get help individually. And the best part? It's sunny year-round. It is Hawaii after all.

BYU-Hawai'i is distinctly set apart from other colleges that were considered because of the diversity of its student body. Individuals from all different nooks and crannies of the world attend the school, creating an enticing smorgasbord of ethnic variation. A remarkably rich environment nurtured by the hearts and minds of students from all over the creation can be found nestled right within the bosom of BYU-Hawai'i, unified within the true spirit of aloha.

For one, it is in Hawaii. That alone makes it on a different level than the others considered. The student are from over 70 different countries and there are at least 5 students from each coutry. It is a small campus, no more than 2,500 students. The motto, "Enter to Learn: Go Forth to Serve" really had an impact. The history of how it emerged and the sacrifice of those who attend. Specifically the students from all over the world who don't know English and rarely see their families while attending because of costs.

It's a safe haven for people who want to study without the influences of partying and drinking and drugs. Sure, those influences are still here but they are very controlled. We have a free life to have fun and study but we are also always being watched over incase we need help.

That most of the students here are Mormon so we have very high standards and don't drink, do drugs, or have sex before we are married. That makes for a very different collage experience. A much better experience in my opinion.

The racial diversity is amazing; I love that in a class of 30 people, easily 10 different countries can be represented. It?s a fantastic place to learn about other cultures and people from around the world. It is also an amazingly friendly place to live.

The unique thing about BYU-Hawaii is the spirit of Aloha that is present everywhere you go. There are students at this school from all walks of life, but they are all here for the same purpose. The unity that holds this campus together is one that overlooks cultural, ethical, and personality differences that could otherwise really divide a student body. This type of environment helps during studies because one does not have to worry about the stresses of trying to fit in or standing alone. The students are unified to "enter to learn and go forth to serve".

My school is unique because of its cultural diversity and low classroom sizes. The students at BYU Hawaii come from over seventy different countries. In the class room, the average size is twenty students for every professor. This allows us to receive target instruction from our teachers on a personal basis. This kind of environment helps me learn quicker.

The unique thing about our university is the SPIRIT that surrounds our campus and it shared by the faculty, staff, and students. We are a church college and the spirit here is strong. The love for school, each other, and the mission to attend this university in hopes to go out and serve everyone.
