Most students that attend University of Hawaii at Hilo are adventurous yet easy going. Since this college is in Hawaii there are so many opportunities for students not from Hawaii to get caught up in the beauty of Hawaii that it could be a disctraction from their studies. On the other hand it could also be a great motivator for students to work hard to stay at this University. It it ultimately up to that individual. Overall this University is very friendly and welcoming to all. It is a cultural melting pot.
