Brigham Young University-Hawaii Top Questions

Brigham Young University-Hawaii is a wonderful school that allows you to not only receive academic progression but as well as religious and spiritual progression. If you would come to this school I would ask if you are someone who wants this type of progression. If you are then this school is perfect for you. On the other hand being a church school for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints you would be learning about this religion if you have hard feeling or negative thoughts about this religion then perhaps I would apply elsewhere.

Brigham Young University in Hawaii accepts everyone. It is a cultural school that is willing to work with all students no matter where they come from or any difficulty.

This school is also very conservative and there aren't many big parties or much of a common social scene. The social scene here involves going to the beach, going on hikes, doing different adventures. If you're looking for a party, this is the wrong place. The community is highly integrated with local native Hawaiians and respect for the native people of this town is necessary.

A person who doesn't appreciate the outdoors and diversity. This university is so diverse and offers so much outside of the classroom.

It is a little far away from the mainland United States so if a person struggles with being away from home for extended periods with out any visits, they may have trouble attending BYU-Hawaii.

I think selfish person shouldn't attend this school. This school is trying to train and make leaders who can go back to place where they come from, and serve others in the community . I think it would be impossible to do that if they are selfish. Our school moto is "Enter to learn, Go forth to serve" in other words, a person who are looking just for their sucess would not fit in this school. Second, person who doesnt like to abide by the rules shouldnt attend this school, because we have honor code to follow always.

This school is extremely culturally diverse it is hard to say who should not attend this school. I would have to say that people who are easily distracted by the sun and surfing will find it hard to focus on school because we are only a 10 minute walk from the beach.

Depending on your personality all different kinds of people should attend this school for at least a short period of time. However, people who have the corporate ladder climbing type of personality would probably not appreciate this universities atmosphere.

I have many friends who are top of their class but would probably not be the top at another university with a higher attendance rate.

Students who are still contemplating their majors should not attend here. Students who want to take their time in achieving their degree should not attend here. This school is a very fast paced one with direct tracks to graduation. If a person is not willing to work above and beyond average, this is probably not the best school option for them. Also, the school is Christian-based and requires the students to abide by an honor code. Persons who are not spiritually motivated will struggle if they attend here. Anyone who lacks passion for the beach should not attend!

If you are looking for a really competitive school with big classes this is not the school for you. If you are looking for a school that isn't really religious this is not the school for you. This school has some pretty strict rule and standards that some people find overbearing, so if you don't like rules this may not be the school for you.

Someone who is independent and stable. The school is on the Island of Oahu, on Hawaii's north shore. It takes someone who is fine with potentially only seeing their family once a year because of traveling expenses. The north shore is also more "country" and is secluded from the fast pace of the big city.

Students who are interested in social parties which include drinking and drugs should not attend Brigham Young University-Hawaii. This campus has high standards required of each student to follow. That kind of inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. Also, students who are not interested in learning about other cultures, or who have racial prejudices against students of other countries should not attend this school.

Someone who is not very religious or does not like to abide by the rules should consider a different school. This school is very religious and the religious veiws of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are often incorporated into the classes. The school is also very strict on dress code and maintaining high standards, so if you do not like being told what to do or how to dress I would suggest somewhere else.

Like almost any school someone who doesn't care about their education and learning shouldn't attend school. There are so many eager minds out there who would love to opportunity to learn, grow and develop themselves. To not only benefit themselves but their family, friends and communities.

Though I think this university has something to offer everyone, I would not recommend it to someone with narrow views or closed off to different lifestyles. Many different people come from all over the world and as such, no one does things the same or have the same mindset. With all these varied cultures, it is difficult for a person to say how should things should be since everyone comes from different backgrounds. The school is also religious base and has an enforced code that may not follow everyone's personal beliefs.

I think this school is a great experience for anyone who is willing to give it a try. However, if you like a city setting or a very social school you should think twice before you come to this school.

Many people give the school a try but find its laid back Hawaiian atmosphere not what they were looking for.

The type of people that should not attend this school are they that are looking for a good time rather than trying to complete their education.

Everyone should attend this University. There is such a wonderful atmosphere here with loving people everywhere.

It is not the intention of the school to seclude anyone, but there are standards and morals that are expected to be kept, and when they are broken then the experience is over.

The only type of person that should not attend this school are those who are not willing to abide by the honor code.
