I think UH Manoa is best known for its marine biology program, pre-medicine program, and business school. It's also known as a commuter school.

I would say that the University of Hawaii at Manoa is known for its active social life, beautiful scenery, and interesting classes. Admittedly, it is also known for its slow-moving bureaucracy and expensive tuition. As a local, I pay in-state tuition, and I definitely feel that it is overpriced; I can't imagine what out of state tuition must be like. As UH is the only major university in Hawaii, it is also seen as the pinnacle of higher learning in the state, which frankly does not say much.

Okay, so I love going to football games and it's pretty awesome since here you don't have to pay to see home games. But anyways, yea you have the tailgate party and such, but I always try to make it into the stadium before the football team does the haka. It's probably one of the main reasons why I even attend games haha!

I'm not sure. Having grown up in a football family on the football side of the island during Colt Brennan's perfect regular season, I thought it was the football. Boy, was I upset when my first semester at the University of Hawaii at Manoa saw four losses and no beer. Its tough to be sober when the away team is scrambling about like so many mindless ants over a folded pepperoni slice clinging to the gutters of Aloha Stadium four weeks in a row. As a Psych major, I'd have to say its the UH Lab.

Wahine (Girls) Volleyball. Variety of cultures and how we all get along not only in school but out of the school boundries. Green pastures and mountain views, but most of all the students and professors along with the staff, everyone smiles at you, even though economy is bad we all have that great "aloha" spirit at University of Hawaii Manoa.
