Hawaii Pacific University

It's a great school but just know it's expensive to attend. the teachers are wonderful and very knowledgeable!! They take time out of their day to help yo on the spot of if they can't they will make an appt with you to come in and help you. I only have 8 more classes to go I can't wait to receive my HPU degree from this school!!!

They call it Hawaii Pacific University but it really should be called Sexy Pacific University because the students here are F-I-N-E! Parking is expensive and the hobos downtown are gross, but you'll feel a lot better if you don't look at them and instead take in the beauty of the other students. But don't even try to pay attention in class. You won't be able to because you will be too distracted.

I think it is true that you get out of a university what you put into it. If you want to take your education seriously, HPU is a good school. It has lots of quality teachers and interesting classes. Unlike at a lot of big state schools, you can actually get to know your professors on a personal level and most of them have advanced degrees and are not just teaching assistants. The other students are also very friendly, though some of them are foreign and don't speak perfect English. But dealing with people who don't speak English is part of life. It might be annoying sometimes on group projects, but it shouldn't be an issue if you do a good job on your own work. The same goes for the homeless people in Honolulu. They are also part of life. Every big city school has them. If you mostly want to party at a tropical resort, then HPU really isn't what you want. If you want to live in Hawaii, focus on your education, meet interesting people and (hopefully) get job when you graduate, then this college is a good choice.
