Review of Brigham Young University-Hawaii

from Pittsburg, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

It's a bit like high-school classes. Easy if you understand the subject, impossible if you don't. But the teachers are always willing to help and there are tutors for nearly every subject.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Its in HAWAII!! Whats not to like about it? The school is a 5 min walk to the beach and a grocery store for all my college needs. However, I do miss being in a city with excitment and things to do. If you don't enjoy hiking, surfing, or lounging at the beach you could get a bit bored after about a mnoth or so.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Very cheap considering it's a private school. Great staff, good courses, amazing location! Air fare isn't all that cheap though..

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

This is an LDS-run school (Mormon). Therefore, before every class we pray and every student is required to take religion courses. However, being that this is a church school, there is no theft, immodesty, or cheating so its a very good school if you have high morals. Make sure to have a lot of extracurricular activities and a great reccomendation.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Dedicated, beach-bums, hardworking, sun-bathers, and Mormon. Great if you're an international student because this school has one of the highest international student populations, with students from over 70 different countries!
