<p>Hey sorry for the late reply, but thank you for the link :), and bballplyrref, I will give you an honest and sincere opinion of my experience so far.
For the price, UH Manoa is an excellent place to go for school. The WUE discount makes it considerably cheaper. I am basically paying resident tuition. The location is great, although it is both a curse and a blessing. I’ll explain.
There is a reason that UH Manoa only has a 50% graduation rate. It’s a laid-back school, and people inevitably get a bit lazy (I mean, it IS hawaii after all), but if you can stay disciplined, you’ll succeed. They’re doing a lot of renovations and construction, and despite not being a very rich school, they have made some incredible improvements. Next semester, they will even have a brand new gym.
I am majoring in marine biology and so far I have enjoyed the relatively small class sizes mixed with an occasional lecture hall of 40-70 students. Most of the faculty are very nice. It’s a mid-sized school a few miles from Waikiki Beach, so you can always do some surfing, swimming, or hiking after class. Now, even if it’s not the best school around, I’d say for the price (it’s cheaper than a lot of in-state schools in California), you are getting a very good deal.
I am looking to transfer not because I don’t like the university. I just simply cannot stay in one place for more than a few years. I get restless very quickly and I always need to be experiencing something different. Personally, I think it’s a good deal. College is whatever you make of it. Thanks for the help also, AskMsSun. I will look into those requirements.</p>
<p>Now, I have one more question, MsSun. Is there any way to verify whether certain courses I take here will transfer? Or do I just have to try and speak with someone from the UC system?</p>
