Last year it was at Pearl Harbor and because of their restrictions with bags & whatnot, a lot of families were having hard time getting in. Especially if you had a baby. That's ANOTHER long story of mines. But back to UH WEST... they had a really good set up right in their open courtyard area. It was in the middle of the building and so it made the workshops & booths coincide with each other. There was a lot of activities for keiki and parents. They offered a list of things to register for, as well as, have booths with additional educational activities. I hope they host again next year. Our family had Konane workshop. (Hawaiian Checkers) and made home made stylus and voted for Hawaiian Electrics polls. There were other activities and I wish we had chance to do it all but maybe next year. So THANK YOU UH WEST OAHU FOR HOSTING SUCH A FUN EVENT FOR THE FAMILIES. We really enjoyed it! Thank you Onizuka Day for making such event happen. Thank you all for reading & MALAMA PONO...

Never thought I would be on a college campus again, but here I am at the University of Hawaii -…read moreWest Oahu for the 3rd time in my life. The most recent experience lasted about 3 1/2 hours. I was here because of an impromptu trip to the west side of the island. It was the last day of my staycation in November 2021 and my friend needed to attend class on campus. After lunch and ice cream at the Ewa Pointe shopping center, we arrived here at the University of Hawaii - West Oahu campus around 1:45pm for a 2pm lecture. It was a nice day out, but the campus itself was very eerie and quiet. While I am not currently a student here, it would be neat to come here, but the travel time would be crazy from Kaimuki. With that said, I was on campus for about 3 1/2 hours hanging out and waiting for my friend. I gave myself a little tour of the campus, which was surprisingly small enough to get anywhere within 5-10 minutes on foot. The campus itself was clean and quite immaculate actually. Just quiet with only a few students walking around to get to where they needed to go. For the most part though, being on the campus of the University of Hawaii - West Oahu reminded me of campus life 20 some years ago while I was going thru college life at the University of Hawaii - Manoa. Brings back memories of an era long gone by. The overall experience here at the University of Hawaii - West Oahu campus was very nice and serene. Very clean too. I enjoyed myself, even though I was by myself for an extended period of time. It feels like it's practically brand new, but I know it's been a few years since the campus was officially built. The University of Hawaii - West Oahu functions like a community college in a sense while providing degree programs to those who need them. They offer a limited areas of knowledge groups, but cover the all the in demand subject areas are there as well as interesting subject areas like creative media and travel & hospitality management, among others. Spending 3 1/2 hours here was nice and therapeutic. Not so much for my spirit, but to recapture my youth. The campus consists of an admin building, a maintenance building, and the rest are classrooms and lecture halls. It's quite tiny actually. Well groomed and spacious to conduct classes outside, if you wanted to. Applying for admission into UH-West Oahu is easy. Just visit their website and take a look as to how to get in and let your college career soar. I'm sure it's money well spent. If you want to further your education but don't want to venture to town and Manoa, consider coming here for your academic collegiate needs. Tuition wise, it's higher than when I went to school, but it's worth the price of admission.The University of Hawaii - West Oahu is located at 91-1001 Farrington Hwy in Kapolei on the island of Oahu. The small campus is accessible by car and public transportation, if you choose to. There's a generous portion of parking space here. I believe bus route 40 passes by here and it stops right in front of the campus. It was neat to have the buildings named after the alphabet. Remind me of high school too. I enjoyed my time here and hope you will too. It's definitely a nice campus. It just seems like it's in the middle of nowhere, not attached to anything. It's a cool place to be. Whether you are striving for academic excellence or just striving to get that college degree, the University of Hawaii - West Oahu has got you covered. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

Only a few professors seemed genuinely invested in their students' success, and sadly, one of them is retiring. The program admits a large number of students, seemingly just to ensure that many of them fail. I understand the need to weed out students, but it feels like they do it with ill intentions. This place is sooo expensive. It not even including the textbooks which are $300 or more, and parking passes cost $250 per semester, which is outrageous considering the limited parking space. We have to share the parking structure with St. Louis students, and much of the parking is inconveniently located at the top of a hill. It feels like our tuition is being spent on maintaining a comfortable lifestyle for the Brothers, which might make sense for a Catholic school, but what about the students? Over the summer, they spent money fixing the road entrance, which seemed unnecessary--it was fine before, and now it just has better-looking lines. Kokua Ike is a great study space, but it's often overcrowded and noisy; I hope it gets the upgrade it deserves! On the plus side, there are frequent free events on campus, which is nice, so I make sure to take advantage of them since I'm essentially paying for them. However, for a private school with such high tuition, the Wi-Fi is consistently slow, and the quality of the ID photos is poor--they come out grainy, and the camera setup forces you to look up instead of straight ahead. There's also a lack of food options. Overall, it seems like Chaminade is more focused on making money than truly caring for its students. I do appreciate the campus cats, the pretty views, and the few dedicated faculty members who remain.
