Barbie

Any person that is hard-working, dedicated, and geniune in seeking a well balanced education should attend this school.

Lani

A student who will succeed at this school will be one who has a love for cultures. They should be open to learning and experiencing a variety of cultures throughout their college years. A prospective student should be open and willing to meet and befriend people on a daily basis. To attend BYUH you have to sign an Honor Code, due to that, a student must be willing to be obedient to the regulations in place. Flexibility is a helpful trait. Humility because you will be exposed to people from all sorts of backgrouds, some not of the best circumstances.

i think those kids who were depressed easily, they should come here, and relax.

Blanche

This school is the most culturally diversed university in the U.S.A with students from about 70 different countries. So i think that if you're into learning and trying new things, new food, new languages than this is the school for you. also if you are outgoing and spontaneous than you should attend BYU-HI. those with a sense of humor, those that want to get away from the busy and upbeat city life, this is the perfect school for you. BYU-HI is located far from the city so it is calm, peaceful, safe and beautiful.

A person that loves diversity. There are students from almost 100 different countries here. They need to feel comfortable living in a small city. They also need to be comfortable with the small school atmosphere. There are high schools that are bigger than this unviversity.

Bezaleel

Anyone can attend this school because every professor we have here in this school are ph.d holders. We love our professors for their efforts in correcting our papers, asnwering our questions at odd times and even replying our junk questions. I'm so greatful to be here, i recommend those people who have never known the standards of dress and honor should come here to learn and go to serve in their office or homes. I highly recommend those people to come here so that they may know what is world and what world's expecting from them?

Melanie

Probably someone of the LDS faith and/or anyone with strong moral values. There are a lot of international students that attend this university, they have different languages, cultures, etc. so anyone open to learning of other cultures through the classmates he/she meets. There are also opportunities to learn of the world through the culture activities offered on campus. Also, because of its location in Hawaii, a person attending this school should probably like being outside, tolerant of humid, warm, sunny but wet, and windy climate, and/or enjoy the ocean and its activities.

This school is good for people who want to learn more about other cultures and experience diversity and spirituality in ways that they can't learn anywhere else in the world.

Kealohilani

If you are strong in the Mormon faith, then this is the school for you. You can feel the spirit here and it is comfortable and stress-free to be around others who share your beliefs. I also suggest those who are not so strong in Mormonism to attend this school, because you get a good experience out of being here as the atmosphere and example of the people surrounding you open your eyes to the gospel. Also, people who enjoy a relaxed, country atmosphere would enjoy this school. It is on the countryside and close to the beach.

Any devoted religious person might feel right at home, or even if they do not have a religion as long as they are able to follow a strict set of rules (we have an honor code dealing with one's honesty, appropriate dress, etc.).
