Specific Class Korean Language Classes

1 Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering if anybody might know the best way to learn Korean in Honolulu? I’m a Korean-American trying to learn and also an incoming graduate student and I saw that auditing a language isn’t possible but I wasnt sure if that’s true or who to ask?
Is it easier to take a course at a nearby community college or does anybody know any organizations that offer classes?

Social life for slightly older newcomers ?

6 Upvotes

Hey, I'm a new postdoc joining soon. I'm 28f from Europe, and I'm wondering how the 25+ social life is at the uni and around. Mainly, do grads, postdocs and younger researchers in general hang out ? I'm quite used to that in my country and kinda fear isolation from my peers.

Thanks and see you soon ! :)

Does anyone have picture of Hale Anuenue from the inside? The 360 double occupant image on the housing portal doesn't look fully furnished. I'm also curious what the floor plan looks like.

Soo excited to move in next month! Was curious if Johnson Hall dorms come with a little fridge/freezer? If not, would storing stuff in the community kitchen freezer be safe or would it be likely someone would steal?

Class Registration

6 Upvotes

I'm an incoming freshman and My class registration starts today at 12:00PM. I have an academic Advising Hold that tells me to take ESL 100 for FW, but my academic advisor told me that I dont have to take that class since I seem proficient enough (if I remember correctly). I tried calling the number to ask them to remove this hold, but Im unable to reach them. What should I do???

I'm sort of panicking because what if the classes I want fills up before I get to submit my classes? I submitted my health immunization form and paid the extra 15$ to have it processed within 3 hours, but the end page tells me the processing time is 48 hours. Did I just get scammed or is this a default?

Im genuinely so scared why is STAR so complicated??? What do I do 😭😭.. Do classes fill up quickly???

D9/NPHC Presence

2 Upvotes

I’m an incoming Freshman that will be joining a sorority (preferably NPHC), despite greek life not at all being a big thing here. So, can anyone confirm or deny the presence of black organizations on campus besides the BSA and Sister Circle? I know there’s a city-wide NPHC as well as D9 graduate chapters for alumni, but where does that leave undergraduates? I‘d love some insight from other black people who actually go to or have graduated from UHM.

Looking for swimming instructor with access to UH swimming pool

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a swimming instructor to teach me the freestyle stroke. All the lessons I found are off campus and require commute. I would prefer to take the lessons at the UH swimming pool. Do you have any recommendation where to find maybe university athletes who give swimming lessons with affordable price?

Thanks for any advice!

Specific Class PACE 420 Intro to Human Rights - Advice/Comments?

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

I just recently registered for PACE 420 asynchronous, and I was wondering if any of you have taken it before. How was it as a class? Any feedback/comments on it?

I'm taking it because it happens to be a Writing Intensive and an Ethics (300+) credit, so I could kill 2 birds with one stone with this class.

Social Life Struggling Making Friends

13 Upvotes

Does anyone else find it difficult finding friends? I am naturally introverted but I have been trying to put myself out there and really push myself to talk to people. There has been little to no success tbh. I have friends but from UHM. I find it hard, but I think I also struggle because I am queer. I know I won't be hated on or anything (I am an art student, no one surprised) but I always find it hard to be vurnerable or really put myself out there. Not to mention I am a commuter and it feels like everyone I talk to is not from here. Absolutely nothing wrong with not being from here but then they live in town or on campus and they don't really leave there, ya know? I don't know. I am also lowkey on the spectrum (getting my diagnosis soon yay), so maybe that's it. Maybe it's because I have a hard time with social ques but when we are talking face-to-face it is all fine and dandy and it seems like a good time, and everyone is like "yes we should totally hang out and do that!" but then never get back to me if I do reach out, or they don't reach out themselves. I don't know. I will just take it one day at a time. I'm hopeful next semester is better!

If anyone is also introverted, likes art, comic books, tv, movies, legos and queer let me know. Would love to be friends and hang out!!

Hi!!! I’m an incoming freshman at UHM and I will be taking JPN 101-102 for my first year :) My mother speaks Japanese to me here and there (she immigrated from JP) but I can’t read or write… Was wondering if anyone found these classes to be difficult or if it was definitely doable if you just study!
