Small class sizes allow for a lot of student-teacher interaction. Teachers are often people who have already had experience in the field in which they are teaching. International student body makes for a diverse learning experience, though it also means that some of the classes are dumbed down a bit to compensate for the lower English language comprehension of the student body.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The school is located right on the coast of the North Shore of Oahu, meaning that it is in a beautiful location. There is plenty of outdoor stuff to do, and plenty of friendly people to do it with. The place does get pretty empty in the summer, so less school activities and less people around. I am LDS, so I don't mind that one can't buy alcohol at the grocery store, and there are no bars close by, and you aren't allowed to drink as a student anyway. Some would hate this. I would prefer to be closer to the city, and finding good housing can be difficult, but overall I really enjoy my time here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school is incredibly cheap for LDS students, and affordable for non-LDS students. The amount you pay for the education you get is amazing.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Try to check out places in person before moving in, because the place may not be what you are used to if you come from the mainland.
A friend of mine once said, If you ever hear of anyone going on a hike, or swimming to an island, or anything like that, drop what you are doing and go. Just go. You won't regret it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who don't mind living LDS standards. People who don't mind living in the country. People who are seeking a diverse student body.
