I was also a part of student housing staff for two years as a resident advisor.  I found housing staff to be unwilling to back their RAs in difficult situations with residents and led to worse confrontations.  Residents often run around like an unsupervised summer camp.  This is supposed to be a college with adults.  RAs often have to write 10-15 incident reports before a student is banned from housing.  I remind you that these students that get written up are often disturbing/breaking housing policy for alcohol and drug possession.  Now parents do you want your kids attending a school that allows that kind of behavior? 

If your are not used to different cultures this isn't the school for you.  The locals are not friendly to people from the mainland especially males.  There are a lot of nice and friendly people here just have to sift through the bitter ones.  I have made some great friendships while I was here.  Friends is what kept me going.  If you do attend UHM make good stable friends that influence you do be a good person.  There are enough assholes in this place. 

Another thing, this is a jock head school.  Its football based and much of the tuition goes into funding the football team's 10th string full scholarships.  Really?!  Not to mention most athletes slow the entire class down academically.  I took an easy language class for graduation credit and these football players found it “too hard.” Wahhhh!  These guys can take hits, and play slap ass on the field but when it comes to a five sentence quiz and a worksheet they can't be bothered.  Why do they care?  They're getting a full ride and get their grades passed by professors so they can play ball.Yes UHM has a lot of talented and humble athletes but majority I have come in to contact with are arrogant, selfish, dirty, rude and obnoxious.  I do not attend or promote UHM sports events because of their attitudes. 

Oh by the way, this is NOT a four year college and faculty fails to inform students.  If you do decide to transfer good luck transferring your credits.  Most schools accept slim to none of the BS credits you get here.  To graduate in four years you must take a lot of AP credits in high school or take 19 credits each semester. 

Tuition is also going up every semester and they continue to have budget cuts and remove classes.  I feel like I am getting jimped out of an education I pay for on my own.
