Rules

this semester just started and i already missed most of my classes cause of the time difference, i still haven't found housing yet and i have dropped one of my classes due to not being not being able attend physically cause im still in the mainlands. I dont know what to do at this point. I feel like a complete idiot for choosing this school i mean its all over

I just recently got nominated from my home institution (ubc in vancouver), and I just have a couple of questions for housing.

In terms of housing, would you say for an exchange student is on campus living beneficial? I definitely want to live in campus I think, but I know it can be kind of hard to get. Also, I was looking at fear hall, specifically the 4 bed (4 occupants). Is this unit typically hard to get?

Thanks!

I want to make it clear that I started my part back in like November but my dad decided to wait until today to do his part.

I'm really hoping for financial aid and my dad told me to use last year's forms but those are literally censored so I can't even see the info. I finally convinced him to do it this year but it's still not finished and I'm super worried that it won't be finished before the deadline. I'm so worried and I tried calling him to ask but he was busy working and I now I feel like shit for interrupting him when I didn't know he was at work. Can I still get loans or something if I miss the deadline? I'm a community college student applying as a transfer. I got accepted so now I only need to worry about affording it.

I'm not currently a full-time student yet but is there a performing arts/musical theatre program here?

I see that dorming is pretty expensive for what is offered to students (7k + 4k meal plan). I could use that money instead to rent outside and have more space and live with friends. How difficult is it to get a lease outside? It will be my first year next year in Honolulu but I have been there many times before as I am from the state. The dorms also look to be in terrible condition, and I heard stories of bad food.

Just something to share (:

So I have a 3.2 in HS currently a junior I am scared that I won’t get accepted and my time would just be a waste! I do Jrotc events, key club, did one year of sports, I had build myself up meaning I had improved myself being able to communicate to others easily now. 😭 not sure if academy will help?

Anyone who works/worked at Hamilton library in any part time position (circulation desk, assistant, IT desk, etc.) Curious whats your job like and if you would recommend. I’m looking for a job preferably in the library as a student!

Has any one ever taken the elevator to the bottom of the Hamilton library? I did on accident, and OMG what in the name of god is that smell? Is there a morgue down there??

Can freshmen live off-campus, or is it mandatory to dorm the first year?

Which one would you recommend?

Edit: Thanks everyone for the replies!

I'm a junior living in the dorms and just bought a car. I have an afternoon pass but i'm concerned about where i'll park overnight. I know getting a permit for zone 20 is pretty much impossible now, so what are my realistic other options here? I'm not adverse to moving my car multiple times a day to avoid tickets/tows. as long as its (somewhat) near housing. Any advice?

For example, mistake on grade numbers plus or minus 1 or 2, getting pull out of a class (something that might happen) that looks great on my transcript, ect? This is something that’s been putting me off of applying for a while… just anxiety…

Also what’s up with the “unofficial transcript” section?? Do I need to email my school for transcripts?

Incoming freshman here from Hawaii, considering those dorms. Am I able to join those dorms as a freshman? Otherwise, any other information would be great.

Also, when does housing apps open for Fall 2025?

serious inquiries ONLY!!!!

i have all the puzzle swap pieces

Aloha, Academic advisors are essential in providing us guidance as undergraduates. I was fortunate to have two academic advisors; Megumi Kanehiro from MAC and Evans Ego from ACCESS that were awesome! Please share any other recommendations for other academic advisors around campus.

I am possibly looking to transfer into the business school for accounting but I see that I don’t have the requirements to go straight into it. Coming from a previous stem track I would have to do the intro to accounting classes and would have to declare as exploratory business. Can anyone comment on this process and is it hard to declare as an accounting major once all I complete all the perquisites? (Any chance they can deny me or something)

Hello! I plan to apply here next year but i’m from california, i’m wondering if it’s worth going to uh manoa or getting an education elsewhere specifically for political science and if the law school there is any good thank you!

Hello, I am currently in the process of transferring out of my current university. I am majoring in anthropology (archaeology track) and hope to do the same wherever I end up next. I am also looking to either double major or take up a minor in classics. I am curious if UH Mānoa is worth it for my major as a non-resident.

I appreciate any all input!

Hey all!

These days I have been wondering if UH has a swimming pool or if they offer swimming lessons. Do you know anything about it? could you give me more info?

thanks in advance

Ive already completed the application fee on housing, why is this an outstanding requirement?

Due to my work, I’m currently looking for a place to rent in downtown maybe Ala Moana-Kakaako area, now I’m living in the dorm. Anyone has any suggestions?

Looking to make extra money or need a second person for carpool parking pass? Message me so we can try and coordinate, thanks 🤙

Does anyone take the train/bus from Kapolei/Ewa to campus? Curious to know if it is better than driving and finding parking or if the commute is horrible regardless.

Hi I will be attending UHM for the Fall 2025-2026 school year. I was trying to apply for on campus housing but don't see the option for my year only fall 2024-2025 and spring 2025. Is the housing application for fall 2025-2026 not out yet or am I missing something?

Does anyone know anything about this class? Intrigued in taking it as an upper division class and it seems interesting, but I'm worried it may be difficult.
