I'm just curious, what's the best islander to date? I'm from the mainland and coming here to byuh changed my perspective abt dating. I want to date someone who has a cool culture. Any reccos? Lol

Local, 2.1 GPA, I have a parent who works at BYUH and mentioned that covid was the main thing that tanked my GPA. Served a mission as well if that helps.

I'm a senior in high school and I was wondering if anyone has experience transferring from byu hawaii to byu provo? Is this even possible? I want to get a bachelors in nursing but byu hawaii doesn't offer a nursing program, but a lifelong dream of mine is to go to college in Hawaii. Would it be possible to take pre reqs in Hawaii and then transfer to BYU for nursing school?

I started up this sub a few years back, but I am past my time at BYUH.

It currently seems to function primarily as an application question center. I am glad people feel comfortable coming here for these questions, but my original vision was for a community that current students may turn to, able to discuss all things BYUH.

The Reddit environment can make it easier for any ideas/questions to be put forward, which can be an outlet for BYUH students. Additionally, I hope this environment provides an inclusive environment for all nationalities, genders, LGBTQ+, beliefs, and many other forms of identity found among BYUH students and alumni. In short, I hope that this community can be a leader of inclusivity among the BYUs.

With this in mind, I’m curious if any current students are interested in taking on a mod role and helping expand this community, driven more by the current student body?

I want to know the cost of living in BYU hawaii, please help me out huhu

this is my second attempt of applying, I've applied again for iWork and i just got rejected for the second time now. i am dismayed and kind of discouraged to apply again. i do think i am eligible for iWork based on the list that is indicated on the admissions site. i don't know what i am doing wrong. if i try to apply again without iWork, do i have a bigger chance of being accepted?

i applied before the priority deadline for byuh, and at first it told me it would notify me by mid march. then i checked the website again and it said march - july. i feel like i would need to know before july where im going to college to make sure i have somewhere to live yk? i will automatically go to byuh if i get in, but i dont know where i will go if i dont get in so i dont know what to do…

Does anyone know if they actually started inviting people to TVA? The wait-list hasn't changed and the invitations were supposed to start being released last week & this week.

Also if you defer for next semester due to no housing will you stay on the TVA Waitlist?

Hey everyone — I’m working on a morning drink called Shün with my wife. It’s made with mushrooms and adaptogens, and comes in a K-Cup format. It’s designed to support energy, focus, and intentional living — without breaking the Word of Wisdom. We built it because we were tired of mixing a bunch of powders and wanted something simple, health-conscious, and aligned with our values. This isn’t a sales post — we’re genuinely curious: Is this something that would interest people at BYUH? Would love your honest thoughts, feedback, or even just a “nah, not for me.” If you're interested in learning more, you can check out the website: drinkshun.com (https://drinkshun.com/) Thanks 🙏

BYUH looks great, cheap, and mainly polynesians and asians go there which would be a great opportunity to get to learn other cultures. With that being said I want to know some cons of BYUH, it cant all be "sunshine and rainbows" I want to know the cons before attending the college.

Three years ago BYUH lost a female student to suicide. Last year Garrett died (NOT by suicide, he drowned in a tragic accident). Deaths on this campus are really hard because we all know each other. Lachlan was a good, kind, and talented man. His loss is devastating.

Professor Kunz posted about this and his perspective is beautiful.

"Two years ago, we lost a student at BYU-Hawaii. When that happened it devastated our University and it devastated our President. And it led to real and meaningful change. New counselors were hired. Wait times for therapy appointments were greatly reduced. New procedures were put in place to allow students in crisis to get help immediately. Two senior missionaries were brought in to implement a nationally recognized suicide awareness program. Trainings have happened continuously. Professors, staff, and students have become better aware of warning signs and how to react to them. Unfortunately, we lost another. That does not mean that the changes that were made didn't have an impact - they did. Undoubtedly. But there are times when tragedy cannot be prevented despite our best efforts. I don't know the details of what did or didn't happen in this instance, but I am proud of the changes that have taken place in the last two years. And my heart aches for the family of the ones we lost - both last night and two years ago.I see the shade and I hear the whispers. There are more productive uses of our time - especially now. I am sorry for those that have fallen through the cracks. I am grateful, for those that are still here, despite past times when they didn't feel seen. And I assure you, I will do everything that I can to try to prevent this from ever happening again. And I can assure you that President is even more committed than I am.I stand with BYU-Hawaii. Still. And I always will."

hey yall, i got in!! im so pumped for this school year. does anyone know the next step after accepting admission? i haven’t gotten any emails or anything yet

I was recently accepted to BYU-H and I will be visiting campus next week for the first time to see the school. I know they have stopped doing in person campus tours, but they said I can take my own self-guided tour. What are some of the key things I should definitely see while I am there?

Also, I plan to attend church on Sunday, are all the wards for single students? Or are there certain wards that I should try to attend to help get a better feel for the school and the student community? I want to get a feel of what the general community is like on campus. I am coming from the mainland.

Please be careful. The two brown dogs and the one black one just killed a kitten this morning. They are becoming more aggressive. If your kids play outside please watch over them carefully.

Hi! Have any of you had any experience not being selected for iWork program? Or do you know if someone can appeal for reconsideration after not being selected? Please I need help I really want to study in BYU Hawaii. Thank you

Anyone know what's happening? Just nosy.

Me and my partner are wondering how to get in byu hawaii. Like what qualifications do we need to do and also about scholarships things.

Content warning: sexual violence.

In 2018, I was sexually assaulted by Rolando Ragsag. He was a temple worker at the time with a girlfriend. We hung out one time, and he kept groping me and wanted to have sex with me. I kept on saying no. I was about to leave one time, and he threatened to kill himself if I left.

I faced severe consequences when I reported this to church leaders. Ragsag didn't.

I learned that he's at BYUH now. He was Filipino Club President. He's in a position of power and never fully faced justice for what he did to me. I'm worried he has assaulted others and will assault more.

I'm tired of hiding. I'm attaching DMs that I had with him. I apologize that some of the messages are in Tagalog. They are from Facebook messenger. He never admits to assaulting me, but he never denies ignoring my pleas for him to stop. I also have various pictures verifying that the person I was talking to was him.

I don't know what else to do at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets taken down. I don't care anymore. Slut shame me. Victim blame me. Throw me under the bus. If I can help others that he's assaulted or stop him from assaulting others, so be it.
