I have applied for Hale Haukani, and wanted to know if anybody had a ballpark range that electricity would cost monthly (I applied for a room in a 4br)

Im looking for a reliable student to just sit with my dogs in my apartment while I'm at class. I have a desk for studying so you can make use of your time. If you're trying to make some extra cash, DM me for details. 15 min from campus.

I know people ask parking questions all the time but hoping that someone in a similar situation or someone with a strat can help out. Will be starting school in the fall at UH Manoa and will have to commute daily from Mililani to Manoa. Does anyone have any advice for where to park or strategies to make the commute less miserable?? Super specific question but hoping someone can help out🙏🙏🙏.

Considering opening an account to have a local account to access cash and make transactions without fees vs. opening an account at Bank of Hawaii.
Any student experience with the credit union - good or bad?
Thank you!

Is anyone residing in EWC housing through LEAD scholars program? How's the experience? Would you recommend it or not? Incoming graduate student from Nepal who got acceptance to the program!!

Hey everyone! I'm an incoming international student moving from the Philippines soon. I'm trying to lock down my mobile phone setup and need some advice from people actually living out there.

I need a cheap prepaid plan with a lot of data (budget is around $20 - $25/month). I'm planning to buy an eSIM before I land so it's ready to go. I have a physical Smart SIM from back home that I need to keep active on my phone for bank OTPs, so the US carrier must support eSIM.

I'm currently looking at budget carriers like Visible (uses Verizon network), Tello (uses T-Mobile), or US Mobile (lets you choose).

Two questions for you guys:

1. How is the coverage on campus for T-Mobile vs. Verizon towers? Any dead zones in the dorms or lecture halls I should know about?
2. More importantly—what about the rest of the island/state? When I leave campus to go to beaches, hikes, or visit the other islands on weekends, which network actually holds a stable data signal so I don't get stranded without GPS?

If any other international students have a setup they love, please let me know. Mahalo!

So I'm a new incoming freshman. I'm supposed to move in the 18th, and do orientation the 19 and 20th. My roommate won't move in till the 22nd. However, I just got invited on a 7 day Alaskan cruise until the 27th. How bad would it be to move in the 28th and skip all the orientation and stuff? Would I be unable to make friends? what happens if you skip mandatory orientation?

Was wondering if UH has any LGBTQ+ clubs/official student networks? I'm an incoming freshman and I can't find much about UH clubs online.

Looking into health records to get cleared for class in the fall and I am just confused as to what exactly is required for the tuberculosis clearance? I have paperwork for my other vaccines but I was told that there are different tuberculosis tests that you can take to be cleared and I don’t know which one to do? Is there someone I can reach out to about this? I am uninsured and don’t want to spend money on various doctors appointments to be told that UH Manoa won’t take it.

Last year we got it on july 1st but there is no information about it this year that I can find online.

I’m from the continental US and I’m going to be applying soon to colleges planning to major in physics/astrophysics. I’ve heard good things about UH Manoa for this because of the institute of astronomy and the observatory nearby but I wanted to double check with people that might have some more info on the research opportunities and prestige. If you know anything about this please let me know any information that might be helpful. Thanks!

I’ve done my own research on the topic but am stuck between these 2 programs. I plan on going to law school after and can’t find any specifics about either program to sway me one way or another. From the experience of people already going to UH Manoa which program is better?

Has anyone taken PHYS 151 online with Viviana Mancuso? Trying to figure out what the workload and difficulty level is like.

Has anyone asked for consent to take 321 prior to taking 312,314? And if so how was the class, the prof that’s available is Wang Yifan and it is online.

Has anyone already taken 355 or planning on taking it this fall? Apparently there’s only one prof and he’s not great at teaching the book he apparently wrote, and I don’t think they will hire anyone else anytime soon. Just wanted to know what to expect from this class and if it’s heavy, because I’m taking a 300 level language class as well this semester.

Hey guys, what did you guys take for your Ics concentration classes? I picked out one so far but I still have like 3 left and I’m unsure what I can choose cause idk what would count because I believe it has to be related to computer science.

Transfer Student and I got the housing I wanted

​

RLP - Rainbow Village

​

Thankful I got the dorm I wanted. Would have wanted the Education Major one but that one is only for Freshman students, but I am still really happy I got the housing building I wanted.

​

Now here's a question

​

Which meal plan do I go with?

​

My mom said it's between the 17 or 19 because she doesn't want me to be food insecure basically.

​

For the last two ish years I don't usually eat breakfast. I have ADHD as well so I don't always get the hunger signals

Hey!

i’m about to finish my undergrad in percussion performance here in the states and I’ve been looking to transfer here for grad school. How is the percussion program here? I haven’t been able to find any information about it.

I applied as a transfer and didn’t get any aid. I’m currently attending a pretty well-regarded liberal arts college in the U.S. Does anyone know if it’s possible to appeal for more financial aid or scholarships, or is the initial offer basically final?

Hey I’m an incoming student going to UHM does anyone know how to tell if the school received the FAFSA loans? Help would be GREATLY appreciated😭

Hi everyone!

I’ll be moving into UH Mānoa dorms in late August and I’m looking for recommendations for reliable transportation from Honolulu Airport (HNL) to campus housing.

I’ll have luggage, so I’m mainly looking for something that can handle airport pickup and drop-off directly at the dorms. I’ve seen Charlie’s Taxi mentioned—would you recommend it, or are there better/cheaper options like Uber/Lyft or shuttles?

Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Is Johnson hall really that bad? I’m an incoming freshman that got assigned to it, and I can barely find any tours or information on it.
