Rusara: HPU has a really extensive programme of study, which gives you a good background

I first heard about HPU through an university agent while in High School, who had recently connected with the university. I had always planned to attend a college in the US and I was very excited about the possibility of attending a college in Hawaii. Later on, I attended the signing of a MOU between U of Ruhuna in Sri Lanka and HPU, where I was able to meet and speak with Chad Schempp, who answered a lot of the questions I had and gave me an idea of what to expect. \

There are a lot of positive things to say about HPU. For starters, it is in Hawai’i! What more do you need to say! I love the climate and the island!! Most people plan to retire to pieces of paradise and I feel immensely lucky to start off my journey in paradise. I love how the HPU community is small and so hugely diverse. I have made friends and know people from practically all over the world. This makes for such a wonderful mix of cultures, languages, opinions, and the warmth of aloha means we all get along and everyone is really nice. In a typical classroom there is so much to learn from the different opinions the students have had in their respective countries. The small class size means the professors know you by name, which means you get to stay in close contact with the faculty, and hence get to ask questions and get individualized help if you need to. The community is so relaxed and friendly, which is all really wonderful!

After completing my bachelors, I plan to apply to Medical College and eventually become a neurosurgeon. I feel that HPU has a really extensive programme of study, which gives you a good background in your undergrad. The small size of the community means that students who take the initiative really have a lot of opportunities available to them.

In which sense, it is easier to participate in activities that would make you more desirable in terms of acceptance to a programme. Also the professors are so accessible and friendly, it is always easy to get questions answered and get guidance, since they care about actually making sure you understand something from the course as opposed to just giving out grades.
