<p>I hear the fear of making the wrong choice and I totally get that. Hawaii is the one of the most beautiful places in the world. IMHO. They have a strong Asian cultural influence and a military base. I can see why choosing is so difficult for you. The poster above makes very good points about the value of Pitt. I would choose the more exotic locale, but it might be harder to study in Hawaii. (Very distracting at first). More laid back atmosphere and culture. Let us know what you decide.</p>
