pick a college,OR rate them in the order that you would prefer to go to.
-University of Hawaii at Manoa
-University of Hawaii at Hilo
-Hawaii Pacific University
if you have had experience in any of these schools, please tell me what school, major or classes, and your experience there. i'm just trying to decide which one of these 3 colleges i should go to. thanks!
It really depends on what you are interested in. All three schools are good, and your reasons for going to college should help you decide which one is the best for you.
1. What is your interested major? I graduated from the University of Hawai`i at Manoa and I loved it there. I majored in International Business and Marketing, with a minor in Japanese. The business program is awesome, and so are engineering, sciences, hawaiian studies, dental hygiene, teaching, travel industry management, and nursing. However, I heard that UH Hilo has a good marine science program.
2. What can you afford? UH Hilo is a little cheaper than UH Manoa, I believe, and both are cheaper that HPU because HPU is a private school.
3. What type of location are you interested in? HPU is close to town/city area… UH Manoa is a little farther away but it's still close. UH Hilo is in the boonies, or in other words, it's not city-like at all. Do you like to go shopping more or go to the beach more or both?
4. What scene are you looking for? If you are looking for a dorming/party scene, I dont believe HPU has that experience as much because the classes are all in town and there are no dorms that are close. UH Manoa and UH Hilo both have dorms that are on campus.
5. Athletics? HPU's sports are not as fun to go to as UH… and UH Manoa's football games are always fun.
So I guess it depends on what you are interested in…
And by the way… I know that I mentioned UH Manoa more but that is because I went there. I'm not trying to sway you to go there. You should do some research to see what matches your interests. The Princeton Review is a good website to do research.

Who cares? They're all in Hawaii!

I'd probably expland my list to some with better academic records. How did you pick these?
Without knowing what degree you are looking at, it would be very hard to answer your question.

My only experience with them is reading about them while researching colleges myself. My opinion is that Manoa would be my first choice, and Hilo my last choice.

depends upon what your area of study is. UH Manoa offers the most educational opportunities. HPU is smaller, located downtown and has a Windward campus and costs more but offers less degrees. UH Hilo has some good departments, but you might wish to visit before moving to Hawai'i Island. Both HPU and UH Manoa are on the island of O'ahu which is very developed, urban, and clogged with traffic; whereas Hilo has traffic but not 24/7! Ask yourself what areas you wish to study and then make your choice. All 3 are very good universities.

2. HPU
3. UH Hilo (you know that is on another island in a semi-dead town right?)

I attended two of the three schools and have friends attending the third.
hilo is better because it gets you away from the tourism and crowdedness on oahu. on big island you get the calm feeling with still the beautiful sight of hawaii
