One thing that i like most about going to school at the University of Hawaii at Manoa is that there is a friendly atmosphere in the dorms. One memorable experience is a golf tournament that my friend and I entered. This was memorable because we had so much fun and and did better than I thought we would.

Detailed Ratings

The summers at the University of Hawaii are amazing. Professors from the Ivy League schools come to teach so they can summer there. One is able to have classes from professors of Harvard and Yale without having to pay the Ivy League prices.
