To be truly successful at Brigham Young University Hawaii, it takes a set of special characteristics. With the beach less than a mile away, it takes a lot of discipline; homework is far less inticing than the waves, yet more important. Equally as necesarry is patience. There are so many different languages being spoken, so true communication takes time and honest effort from both sides. Finally, to attend BYUH you must be cheerful!

Stephany

To attend this school, one should be very open to other cultures. It is probably the most diverse college in the United States, with students representing 73 different countries! There are roughly 3,000 students that attend here, so the classes are generally small and it takes someone appreciative of one-on-one interaction with teachers to enjoy the environment of this school. Because administrators are pushing for students to graduate within three years, those who attend need to be hard-working and focused on their studies moreso than anything else! This school is designed to train students as leaders!
