Best UH Manoa Dorms

"Rooms are decently sized and large wardrobe for closet space. Only two bathrooms per floor but they are private, not communal, so they stay pretty clean. Kitchen and rec space on the top floors but nothing fancy. Mokihana was pretty quiet compared to other halls (Lehua, Lokelani). Plagued by fire alarms and elevators were out of service once in a while. Dorm caf (Hale Aloha) right under Mokihana and another (Gateway) about 5 minutes walking. Convenience store/market that accepts meal plan points is also near. Similar to the other university student housing Mokihana is a bit far from main campus ~10 minutes to engineering, ~20 to campus center, or ~30 to Shidler buildings by walking. Shuttle bus also comes about every 30 minutes."

"This is great communal building, where you get to live with people from all around the world. Kitchens are a holy place, where you get to share and have meals from different cousins, have deep and simple conversations with students from Middle and South East, Europe, Pacific Islands, North and south Americas. It is a 12 floor building, relatively cheap rent, with great facility management (always clean)."
