UH Manoa is a disappointment to me. The university is WAY behind mainland universities in so many ways. The dorms are falling apart. There is no Greek life. You would think the athletes play in the pro's the way they are treated. Academically, it was behind other programs I have been a part of. The parking situation is insane, there is no where near enough parking to be a commuter school of any type. So your options are commute and have no place to park or live in dorms that are falling apart. I was also disappointed that there is no real program to try to draw in older adults. It seemed like most of the undergrad students are in their teens and early 20's. I met very few people older than 21 on campus. Older adults need to feel welcome too as there are many people who would like to go back to finish school or obtain additional degrees. If they don't feel welcome, they aren't going to bother. My husband took classes at HPU and they seemed much more accomadating for older students.
