<p>Hello guys!</p>
<p>This is my first time posting in here. I been looking around this forum and I can't find any good information regarding this university. I been considering this school to transfer instead of going to one of UC schools. Two reasons are: their Anthropology program have a lot of compelling professors in Archaeology specifically focusing in East and Southern East Asian archaeology (which I am trying to focus on) and their pretty cheap compare to UC schools (they have a program called WUE). But I heard that people who graduated from this school tend to be look down. I want to know if this is going to affect my chances in getting into good grad school after I received my bachelor degree (which I am planning to do after). Also I want know about the pros and cons regarding this school. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.</p>
<p>@kokitan Why would they be looked down on? University of Hawaii at Manoa is a pretty good school. I have a couple friends that go there and they love it. Personally, if you graduate from college, you shouldn’t get looked down on, no matter what school you go to. If you want to go to school in Hawaii, you love the area and school, then go. These “people” that look down on you because you go to UH Manoa aren’t paying for your education, so it shouldn’t matter what they think.</p>
<p>@smurray09: Thanks for replying. What I meant by looking down is when you compare UH with schools here in mainland like UC schools when trying to find a job or applying to grad school. These “people” value more the students that went to UC than UH. I am not sure why is that. Maybe the intensity of the classes or something else. I see your point and I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>@kokitan No problem. I always heard that UH was pretty good. Do you plan on staying in Hawaii when you graduate? If so, I doubt it’ll matter. Employers know that UH is a the major University in Hawaii, so they know you went to the best one in the state.</p>
<p>Personally, regardless of what school you go to you’re getting the same education. For example, if you go to a CSU, you’re still getting the same type of education as a UC school. Education is education, it really doesn’t matter where you get it at.</p>
