Major: Education (This Major's Salary over time)
Firstly I am in the process of transferring and am technically withdrawn, but I have 115 credits from UHM and I still could not make myself stick it out to graduation from this garbage institution. No one likes being here, except for freshmen who do not care about class, just hang out in the dorms smoking weed and drinking, then drop out. If you've got the time and money to do that come here by all means… but everyone else is a broken-spirited drone, frustrated by classes taught by passionless teachers and by trying to wring any knowledge or compassion out of this bone-dry rag of a place. Also—you cannot graduate in 4 years in most majors. The classes you need simply will not be available. Housing, cashiers, registrars, and each individual colleges/majors DO NOT communicate with one another so you have to make sure they are on the same page yourself.

If you do decide to come here, (why??), make sure to stay on top of the administration. Maybe try to get close to the teachers and they might regain faith enough to actually teach something, I'm not sure.. BUT ALSO: the apathy of the student body cannot be overstated. This leads to miserable, silent class discussions but also it leads to no one even having the motivation to apply for scholarships, so APPLY FOR THEM—a bunch of money goes unawarded each year simply because everyone is sitting on their asses. You are extremely likely to get money if you put forth any effort.

Also, if you have any fishy fees on your account, I know it is a pain to contact all the different, uncaring people about them but please do go through the appeals process, it's happened to me where they just go "oops don't know why that charge was there" and take a month to rescind it. I figure they rightly assume most people won't go through the trouble to contest it and they can just scam the student body…
