UH is not for everyone. If you are white, there is some mild racism. But it's not true that you won't be able to make friends with other students from different backgrounds. The best programs at UH are in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, and the school of engineering. Japanese and Chinese studies are also quite good, but pretty much everything in College of Arts and Sciences is just kind of okay. I'm a Geology and Geophysics BS, so I was in SOEST, where all the professors and advisors are helpful and actually take time to know you. Like any college, you'll end up taking some classes that are in no way related to your major. There is almost no Greek life, and on weekends the campus pretty much is dead. The dorms are aging concrete block structures. They aren't well maintained, but they aren't awful either. The location in Honolulu is convenient for hitting the beach, shopping and other weekend pursuits.
