great college! everyone here is so nice and accommodating! they really want to see you succeed. you want to be right on top of everything and if you feel something is not getting done fast enough then jut make a call and they will see whats taking so long!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
if you can afford it i would recommend staying in the dorms! if not then get an apartment. you will want to stay away from the off campus housing because they are crap (not worth your money).
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
teachers can be pretty lenient on work. everybody is more than willing to help you with questions. if you haven't already check out <www.ratemyprofessors.com>. quite a helpful site that i didnt know about until i got here. it can also be used for any other college, as long as they are registered on the site.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
i love it here. its small but homie, you get a nice sense of community. people here become your second family. the internet is not great, especially at midterms and finals. it is getting better though because they are putting in a new system.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
meal plan for the dorm life is kinda iffy. you get two meals a day and have to pay for the third. most times the food is good but sometimes its not. they have vegan and vegetarian options along with a grill.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
beach, mall, movies, and going to waikiki!!!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
sometimes it seems that they are just trying to get your money but usually they give you pretty good deals. many shops and resturants will give discounts to hpu students!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
there are two campuses. one in downtown honolulu, the other on the windward side of the island between kaneohe and kailua. on the downtown campus there are two student lounges. one is kinda loud because there is a pool and ping-pong table. the other is more of a homework lounge because it is quiet and has desks!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
athletic (not football, we don't have a team), good academic standing, kinda laid back, marine bio majors, international studies majors (good programs for theses two).
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
lots of clubs and activities, there is a whole list on the hpu website.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
none this is a small private college.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
we have security everywhere! on the windward campus you have to actually check in with the guard to get on campus! they are all very nice and will give you rides on their carts at night.
