There are many things to dislike and to like about UHH. Once you're able to focus on the positive aspects, and maximize the value those aspects bring to the table, you'll find that it is a unique place to have gone to school. I believe in general, that going to school in Hawai'i helped me from an admissions standpoint in getting into grad school at Georgetown. The simple fact is, there are not many UH alums applying - it certainly gives a differentiation factor and the impression that you have experienced various cultures.

Horrible school, horrible facilities, horrible town to be in. Wifi never works. And when you ask about it all it tells you is "tomove to a window." Library is never open, instead the school keeps the gym open. Expect oer half of your teachers to have barely any command of english, and most are unforgiving - I had a death in the family and went home for the funeral and the teacher took off attendance points and wouldn't gie me the coursework which I missed during the week even though I gave them ample warning. Have a 400 level class to take? Hopefully you can speak japanese because that's the only way you'll be able to understand the teacher and ask questions. Want to talk to the head of the math department? Well better be able to communicate in Chinese (not sure if mandarin or cantonese). A lot of the anthro teachers hate mainlanders and don't hide their hate either, even if you're going to college to work with presering indigenous cultures and languages. I would recommend manoa oer uh hilo. Every year they talk about taking student fees to help with the state deficit too.

Super Brilliant
WORST SCHOOL EVER! Faculty is never available and there are only 4 teachers in the whole department...what the fuck. this means that most students are unable to graduate on time because of the shortages of teachers. as for the teachers within the department, they suck. dr.curtis and dr. okinaka are horrible teachers and have failed me twice for no reason and they refuse to change my grade. fuck this school im out shootz.
