School is what youBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
School is what you make of it. It's not a bad place, people do learn but for the most part you do whatever you want. You have to remember most of the students here are 1000's of miles away from home, fun is a big part of life here on the island.

Question
This college is located in the heart ofBrightMath
This college is located in the heart of downtown Honolulu.
1) Parking sucks.
2) There is diversity but it is a large gap that divides the student body. Example: non-English speaking Japanase students, local Hawaiians, Military students, and so forth.

3) This place is dirty, and for the $4500 you'd think that teachers would have their own offices, which they don't, streets would be clean, but they're not... its a serious dump. if you want proof and don't believe me send me an email and ill send you a couple of pics....

There are good things about the location of the university. 1st is i live 1.5 blocks away from the beach, and i can walk to school.Just be aware, this place is a big reality check, and they are after YOUR $$$$$, im surprised it doesn't cost money to see a counselor!

Question
All in all, it was a good decision.Quite BrightComputer Science
All in all, it was a good decision. While not academically challanging I did learn plenty. Amazing access to professors, other interested students, very international student body and small class sizes are the things that make HPU special. And, I very much enjoy explaining to my coworkers where I attended university!
