"What I like most about HPU is its great cultural diversity. I’ve met people from all over the world and become a lot more open to other cultures, as well as aware of cultural differences. I’ve learned how to improve my communication across cultures by taking some of HPU's communication courses. When I want to travel around the world someday, I now know people in almost every country to stay with.

Another thing I like about HPU is the small class sizes. They allow for more interaction with professors. All of my professors encourage students to participate in class and make sure everybody understands the class material. Back home, there isn’t the same good instructor-student interaction like at HPU.

HPU really taught me how to control my nervousness while presenting in front of the class, to speak up, and to address new students. I will leave the island taking all those great skills with me and being very thankful for all of my experiences at HPU.”
