As a pre-business major, I have learned a lot about economics, and I anticipate my future at Shidler Business of College at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. However, I have not only learned about business. My knowledge in the fields of history, anthropology, sociology, and Japanese language has increased exponentially. I feel so much more aware of the world, and I can positively say that all I have learned so far has already begun to shape me into a much more mature, intelligent, and motivated person.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Having lived in Hawaii my entire life, I always envisioned myself going to college in some far away state in which I could experience snow and purchase a legitimate $5 foot-long sandwich from Subway (prices are higher in Hawaii). However, when making my final decision, I realized that I could not bear to leave home for a myriad of reasons. Reflecting now on my first year in college, I can confidently say that I enjoyed staying home in Hawaii. Hawaii is a truly magical place because of its temperate climate, the variety of cultural diversity present in its cuisine, history, and day-to-day happenings, and the beauty seen not only in Hawaii's landscape, but in the hearts of Hawaii's people. I encourage anyone who wants to experience something new, exciting, and breathtaking to come to UH Manoa.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For residents of Hawaii, the tuition is extremely affordable. For out of state students, UH is still very affordable, and an impressive number of valuable scholarships are available for all students. In addition to its affordable tuition, UH students can attend sports games for free, a year-long bus pass, and work out at the gym.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Join clubs as soon as you can! If you are a Christian, there are a lot of groups in which you can get involved. If you like Japanese or Indian culture, there is also a place for you. Be willing to explore beyond the familiar boundaries of your high school lifestyle.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who enjoy outdoors activities (especially swimming at the beach), have interest in Asian/Pacific cultures, plan to major in business, engineering, marine biology, or Asian languages and literatures
