What Students Are Saying
The tuition is more affordable for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but (especially for a private college) it is still a very good deal.
Cammie from Laie, HI
Very cheap considering it's a private school. Great staff, good courses, amazing location! Air fare isn't all that cheap though..
Caitlin from Pittsburg, CA
Attending this school is a steal compared to other schools in the state of Hawaii.
Beth from Redlands, CA
The school is incredibly cheap for LDS students, and affordable for non-LDS students. The amount you pay for the education you get is amazing.
Alexander from Chesapeake, VA
I think BYU-Hawaii is the cheapest 4-year university in U.S because the LDS church pays parts of tuition. The professors are awesome and you can learn a lot from them if you want.
Jiawen from Laie, HI
For being a private college in Hawaii, this school is so cheap! Always look for scholarships from the University and even the teachers. The only expensive aspect of BYUH is Hawaii. The prices in stores are much higher compared to the mainland. Also, traveling (flying) is expensive too.
Morgan from Hamilton, MO
Not too expensive, lots of services offered on campus.
Andrew from Holladay, UT
Although living on the island is expensive, our tuition is cheap cheap cheap! If you're not a member of the church, it is more expensive. Housing and a food plan is decently priced too.
