This was so inspiring dude. I learned so much from this video. I didn't know the college adviser existed. If I knew, I would have triple majored in women's studies, quantum physics and journalism. Thank you so much bro.

Thank you Johnny. This is so wholesome. I will be the first one in the family to be applying to college and I didn't even know what a major or minor is and all those other college words. It is all very confusing as my parents have no knowledge of this.

Your video showed up in my recommended, and I was trying to figure out where I recognized you--then I saw the Theatre syllabus--props for the awesome and informative video!

[@JohnnyLum69]

[@anna20812]

this was very helpful thank you :)

[@ashleyanne569]

Hi! Really love your video! I’m actually transferring to UH Manoa this Fall so this was super helpful! I was discouraged to take on my major too because of calculus, but one of my friends told me about a math class specifically geared towards business majors who need to fulfill that calculus requirement, but don’t want to take calculus. I took the class online from Leeward community college, and it was super easy and the credits were transferable 😊

[@JohnnyLum69]

That's a really smart move, I wish I thought about that before I switched majors haha

Hi! I’ve been looking into going to UH Manoa for a while buuuuut. Have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to looking to colleges and all the schools I look to go to are far from home.

[@troutntrails]

Thanks for the good info! I’m thinking about applying next year. Do you know anything about the marine biology program?

[@JohnnyLum69]

I've heard good things about the marine biology program, but the Manoa Advising Center will definitely be able to give you more info

[@troutntrails]

Thanks bro, I appreciate it! 🙏

[@sarahmendez8354]

hey!!! That’s how I met you! Sitting in the same spot! Woo!

[@traveldestination4243]

What are requirements minimum score in TOEFL and ILETS for international students in this university ?

[@idalissolano4966]

Sounds so fun! I was wondering if the marine biology programs were hands on and good programs, also how far is the beach from the campus?

[@JohnnyLum69]

I'm not too familiar with the marine biology program, but given that we are on an island I'd imagine that it's hands on. Waikiki beach is about a 15 min drive from campus, if you want to go to a nicer beach like Waimanalo it's gonna be about 40 minutes.

[@tsimck78]

I’ve heard and seen a lot that locals really hate mainlanders moving there Becuase they think we disrespect the culture and land I just want to know if that’s true.. I would love to go to school there but for a $50,000 out of state tuition I don’t want to feel like I’m hated just for not being born there. I’m from Colorado and was raised outdoors and that being respectful to the land is the most important. I’m also generally able to do research it’s not like it’s impossible to find out the right way to respect the people and there culture. But even with that if there’s still a general like resentment towards mainlanders I want to opt it out now.

[@JohnnyLum69]

Locals hating on mainlanders is more of a joke. I don't think you'll have a hard time here, as long as you embrace Hawaii and resist the urge to touch sea turtles

[@fumikoh6231]

(My family has been in Hawaii for generations, for reference.) Unfortunately, it’s not so much mainlanders, but more just white people who face discrimination. Hawaii is made up of primarily Asians, so there is a bit of “reverse racism,” (from what you’d see on the mainland) directed towards white people, as they’re seen as foreigners. The Hawai’i locals are generally not fond of tourists, for many reasons. From what I’ve seen, if you’re any race other than white (and maybe black, though I’ve never seen it), you’ll probably not face any discrimination. White people are referred to as “haolē,” and while Asians are pretty non-confrontational, discrimination will come in the form of getting ripped off or feeling ostracized from the community. This is coming from an Asian with one white parent who has faced these things. Hawaii is honestly a pretty racist place, but that’s also why many minorities who have experienced racism on the mainland will see it as a place of refuge and enjoy life there. It’s also important to note that you’ll mainly stay in the college community, so this probably won’t be much of an issue

[@dance4ever940]

@@JohnnyLum69 could you pls let me know if there is a lot of drugs on campus or is it a pretty drug-free community? I have no idea what college in Hawaii is like. I'd def. prefer a drug- free environment but maybe I'm being too naive... :( some colleges in america def. more party school while others are def. more conservative. could you give me the vibe of this college?? thank you so much!

[@JohnnyLum69]

Hi! So financial aid is paying the majority of my tuition, I pay about $1500 a year as a resident after aid, I also did get a small scholarship. Currently I live with my parents, although I would love to dorm if I could afford it.
