UH Monoa

Hey! I was accepted to UH Monoa and I visited but didn’t see much of a surrounding town or anything to do outside the campus. Anyone who goes there, what is there to do and is there any city or anything outside of campus?

Uh, Honolulu?

You are kidding, right? Things to do in Honolulu on the island of Oahu?

Hi friend,

Current UH Mānoa student and local to Oahu.

There’s a lot, especially outdoorsy stuff like the beach and hiking, which is good, because campus is pretty much dead on the weekends. It’s nice to have a car, but the bus system is one of the best in the nation and you can get pretty much anywhere. Honolulu does not have a very good night life scene from what I’ve heard - I’m the type that generally stays in and studies Friday nights - if that matters to you. Waikiki is always bustling, but it’s also tourist town, so locals rarely venture there.
