Brigham Young University-Hawaii Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Alysha

I considered the best thing BYU-Hawaii offers is the many diverse cultures each student brings from different parts of the world. And it is mpst interesting that even though we are all from different places we are connected through our beliefs and religion. It is a sweet spirit that resides at this campus, and you dont have to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to attend the college, many students who are not members are influenced and changed by the power of the Church and the high moral standards each BYU holds.

The spirit of aloha, and the unity on campus. Everyone here is working for the same thing, and we are all willing to serve and help each other.

Masaru

Brigham Young University Hawaii has a lot of diversities of people: Students are from all over the world. Because of that environment, I made lots of other countries friends. At the first time, I was a little bit confused with the cultural differences. Gradually I was able to understand how different and similar people are even they have different cultures. In addition to it, I realized how important for me to be proud of my own country and cultures. It is the best thing to recognize the identity among those cultural diversities.

Azbin

The spirit of love among student and dedicated professors. The students and professors work together to better the educational system of BYU-H, also its logo which states "Come to Learn, Learn to Serve", such a great enviroment and everybody, even the local community members get together and help students achieve whatever their educational goals are.

Mailani

The diverse cultures allow students to get different and fresh perspectives in the classroom. Almost everyone is kind and friendly to those who fill our campus. The people on campus are a big part of students' decisions about whether or not they want to stay on the campus and I think with the people here at BYUH, many of the students choose to stay. It is just a wonderful place filled with great people.

The best thing about BYUH is the students and the Aloha spirit, which they carry.

The best thing of my school is opportunity to be a leader. BYUH set up scholarships for leadership training and position. It allows students to hold games, events and activities attracts more students taking a leadership position. It is a real society that requests communication between departments. Moreover, dress code is enforced in every activity and event. It encourages all students get profession in their areas. Also, campus jobs makes students more skillful and knowledgeable to raise up student's potential.

Everything---BYU Hawaii has got to be the best university out there.

Melanie

Probably the fact that there are so many different countries represented in the variety of students attending. Though the student population is very small, there are still so many different cultures; they are so accessible to everyone because class sizes are relatively small and you do come into contact everyday with non-Americans. It's probably the best thing about my school because there is so much respect learned by all who attend with an open heart and mind about culture. So much can be learned about the world through the students that attend, by their relationships with one another.

Brigham Young Hawaii campus embodies a wide varity of diversity on campus. Living here can acquaint you with people from over seventy countries. Since everyone comes from different background, no one would be judged and that is one of the best thing I enjoy the most about this campus. At first I was hesistant about attending BYUH because it is far from home and would be a major step out of my comfort zone. After meeting many nice peers, and professors on campus, I realized attending this university is the one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The best thing about BYU-Hawaii is the atmosphere. There are students from over 70 different countries attending this school, which makes the learning experience unbelievable. Not only do you learn from the teachers, but also from the students. You learn how to accept and get along with tons of different cultures and different kinds of people. Also, this is a church-based school. There is an honor code of rules that the students must follow. I am grateful for this because it helps me keep my standards, and I get to be around others who have my same standards.

i love the cultural diversity at the school. it is definately the most diverse in the entire world. but everyone is still united and are friends. it is the best environment to study and learn and have good decent friends that wonts try to get you to do things that you dont want.

Brian

It is the most racially diverse school in the USA, so it gives us the ability to learn so much about other cultures and to see there views on the world. It is so amazing to meet a new person everyday, one from New Zealand, the other from Kenya and then one who only lived about one hour away from your own house. That is what is so great about this school. And the beach being so close doesn't hurt either.
