7 Things I Wish I Knew Before Attending UH Manoa 

Me right now after graduating in com at uhm. Good on ya for making this type of video dude!!

that’s how i feel as a sociology major rn 😭

I'm glad I could help :)

same! i’m 15 and looking to go here as well! maybe i’ll see you there! 😉

ahhh same i really want to go thereeeee

@@kylareisenbichler8033 don’t rush at all. You still have 4 years left.

Brooke K Haha no problem! I’m a little nervous too, not sure if school will be the same with this virus

I'm so honored, best of luck to you!

Same I’m scared

Haha thats awesome, we had a great class going on before things went online

That's a really smart move, I wish I thought about that before I switched majors haha

Appreciate it bro!

Really?

Best of luck to you Brynn!

I was so happy that you were down to sit next to me every class :)

You could also maybe take a gap year and in that year live in Hawaii? This would help get you settled, and would allow you to have the instate tuition :)

@@jelly6077 woah I never thought of that🤯 I’ll keep that in mind

@@mialee200 keep in mind though, this will effect some scholarship opportunities. But it'd definitely be a WHOLE lot cheaper !

@pidaho Oh that's awesome! Thanks for that info. I live in WA which means that could be very useful 😃

@@hzjohnson1632 yea Washington qualifies for western undergraduate exchange (WUE)

I've heard good things about the marine biology program, but the Manoa Advising Center will definitely be able to give you more info

Thanks bro, I appreciate it! 🙏

I'm not too familiar with the marine biology program, but given that we are on an island I'd imagine that it's hands on. Waikiki beach is about a 15 min drive from campus, if you want to go to a nicer beach like Waimanalo it's gonna be about 40 minutes.

Locals hating on mainlanders is more of a joke. I don't think you'll have a hard time here, as long as you embrace Hawaii and resist the urge to touch sea turtles

(My family has been in Hawaii for generations, for reference.) Unfortunately, it’s not so much mainlanders, but more just white people who face discrimination. Hawaii is made up of primarily Asians, so there is a bit of “reverse racism,” (from what you’d see on the mainland) directed towards white people, as they’re seen as foreigners. The Hawai’i locals are generally not fond of tourists, for many reasons. From what I’ve seen, if you’re any race other than white (and maybe black, though I’ve never seen it), you’ll probably not face any discrimination. White people are referred to as “haolē,” and while Asians are pretty non-confrontational, discrimination will come in the form of getting ripped off or feeling ostracized from the community. This is coming from an Asian with one white parent who has faced these things. Hawaii is honestly a pretty racist place, but that’s also why many minorities who have experienced racism on the mainland will see it as a place of refuge and enjoy life there. It’s also important to note that you’ll mainly stay in the college community, so this probably won’t be much of an issue

@@JohnnyLum69 could you pls let me know if there is a lot of drugs on campus or is it a pretty drug-free community? I have no idea what college in Hawaii is like. I'd def. prefer a drug- free environment but maybe I'm being too naive... :( some colleges in america def. more party school while others are def. more conservative. could you give me the vibe of this college?? thank you so much!

@@dance4ever940 The campus is as drug-free as it gets, I haven't seen any drug-related issues while taking classes but I'm also not a Narc lol. I think you'll be fine, it's not something I'd be concerned about.

@@JohnnyLum69 oh rlly really good to know. thx so much, rlly appreciate!

Brah you're not supposed to tell them that

I'm not too sure, but I know the marine biology program is good

Hi! So financial aid is paying the majority of my tuition, I pay about $1500 a year as a resident after aid, I also did get a small scholarship. Currently I live with my parents, although I would love to dorm if I could afford it.

@@JohnnyLum69 Ah, thank you so much for replying! And that doesn't sound bad, I will continue looking into it :)

Hi Monica!

We have glass blowing and ceramics which is cool!

So far I have only taken prerequisite classes, but I do feel like UH has the resources to get me where I want to be career wise

Lots of people from California and Washington, but it's probably as diverse as any college could be.

Yups theres the campus center food court, and paradise palms food court. Theres also a bunch of food trucks scattered around campus. If you're dorming or plan on using meal points theres Gateway Café, which probably has the best selection of food.

I would meet with a UH Manoa admissions consular

You need to take calculus for any business major, I’m actually taking it right now

DO IT

@@JohnnyLum69 I didn't realize the tuition costs when I wrote this haha... Does not look like I will be going there but maybe I will live in Hawaii in the future!

I don't think so, but I think Hawaii Pacific University does

I think January 5th is the Priority Deadline for Fall 2022

@@JohnnyLum69 can i contact you through whatsapp or at any other social network?

I think it’s relatively easy to get into as long as you have a solid SAT/ACT score, and an average GPA

I don't think so, but this link might help manoa.hawaii.edu/undergrad/advising/majors/

Sorry I’m not sure on the details

@@JohnnyLum69 ok. Thanks .
