Im considering applying for the University of Hawaii. Does anyone know what its reputation is like on an international basis? And how hard is it to get in as an international student?

i cant remember where but a while ago this year some one provided a link of how all the uni's are ranked on an international basis..if you are keen just use the search tool in this forum to find it or alternatively google it

I found it... http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=50320&highlight=university+ranking

 

[= Jennifer =]

this is the top 500 list http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2004/top500list.htm

It ranks higher on there than sydney and new south!

whilst these rankings are pretty acurate for uk and usa, the australian ones aren't.
Plus it's academic score is 0.0 vs almost 20 for usyd

If you are gonna base it on a ranking then use one that is atleast reputable. Check out the THES (times higher education supplement) rankings. Its on here somewhere just search for it...

I heard Uni of Hawaii is the crappest thing ever. its where all the dumb rich kids go if they cant get into uni in their own country also hawaii has had 40 tsunamis in the last 200 yrs.

Im considering applying for an exchange to the California State University for Spring semester next year, that is if I can save enough money. A friend from school is over there at the moment, and she says the whole life style is great

look into exchange scholarships. Most unis have numerous ones. USYD, I know, usually has 20% or something of the students get them.
