Hawaii
Pacific University is a decent school. First, they are
sort of money hungry, but many schools are like that.
The downtown campus is much different from the windward
campus. The downtown does have mental ill, homeless people
running around the main street(Fort Street Mall) we have to
go on to get to our classes. I have
seen many things from those homeless, mentally ill people that
I haven't even seen coming from Chicago. I would
say that is probably one of the biggest concerns that
kids have going here. The actual surrounding area isn't
dirty, but a majority of them associate the area being
dirty because of the homeless people hanging around the street.
I have seen recently the security have been doing
a better job at keeping the homeless away during the
night, however, they are still very much there during the
daytime. The school is pretty small, so you will
run into the same people a lot. The teachers
also do get to know you because many of them
teach the lower and upper division classes. If I
had to pick whether or not I would of gone
here knowing what I had in store for me I
probably would of. Even though, I plan on leaving
this year. I thought mine experiences over in Hawaii
were fun, somewhat of a rude awakening, and educational.
But, I have came to think money wise it just
isn't worth it. I thought I loved the water
and atmosphere enough not to mind how much money I
am dishing out for mainly rent. Plus, having a
car here is pretty difficult here too. The gas
is more expensive here like 2.25 now and if you
live downtown or in waikiki you have to pay for
parking(about $70 a month). The bus is an option.
But, I don't know one person that likes riding
the bus. First, it's really not dependable. Plus,
some of the people rising the bus are scary.
Not to mention, the bus stops are hangouts for the
homeless because they think they can get a few bucks
off of tourists. I am not staying here because
what I thought would be enough here to keep me
happy just isn't. It's very different when you are
a tourist and when you live here. People have
this vision of a beautiful paradise(don't get me wrong the
physical beauty is great), but everyday living here takes some
adjustment and many kids that go here don't like it
and decide to transfer.
