The University of Guam is not so bad for myself, only because I am a local who has lived in Guam all my life. But I believe those who come all the way to Guam, may not enjoy it as much, especially in terms of what is available outside of the university.

Artemia

A lot of people were surprised that I chose to stay on Guam for college. They kept saying that I could "do better" or that colleges off island had more opportunities for me. After one year of happily attending UOG, I have no regrets regarding the decision to stay at all! My classmates are friendly and I haven't encountered problems with working in teams. My professors are easily accessible and are clear with the material they teach and their expectations. Plus the campus is beautiful! College is truly what you make it, and UOG has made it easy for me to have a great first year experience.

University of Guam have great professors, activities, sports, clubs and other wonderful opportunities. The only downside about this campus is the Financial Aid Office. The majority of the people who work for that department are lazy and not resourceful.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Growing up on a tiny island such as Guam, I wanted a different experience. I worked hard applying for colleges off island, but it was not enough and I was rejected by the only two colleges I applied for. If I could go back in time I would say to myself: "Don't worry so much about wanting to leave Guam and experience something new. The University of Guam may not be your first choice, but attending college here on Guam would give you the opportunity to grow a little bit more. You've never been any place else and the exposure to new people and places may be a little overwhelming. I'm not saying that you couldn't handle it, because I know you could. I'm just saying that UOG is a great start. You'll learn how to deal with different situations and people at UOG, and this will help you when you start working or going to graduate school. There will be an opportunity to experience the world around you when the time is right, even though you're starting off at a place you didn't expect to be. You will be absolutely fine."
