Hi, I'm currently looking into grad schools and I'd like to be somewhere I can also continue diving. I went to the University of Iowa for my undergrad and I may go there for graduate school but I want to at least look into other schools out there. So, what can anyone tell me about (1) going to school at the U of Hawaii at Manoa, (2) diving in Hawaii, or (3) living in Hawaii?
I currently live in Saipan, of the Northern Marianas Islands, and I love the weather here and the diving. But they only have a community college. I've compared some of the academic and financial numbers with the University of Iowa and I think the U of Hawaii seems to stack up pretty closely. One reason I also am considering it is because I was told that residents of Saipan actually get 'in-state' tuition in Hawaii. That makes it a lot nicer. Otherwise, I still have official residency in Iowa also. But Iowa has long, cold winters and the diving there sucks. Sorry fellow Iowans...but it does.
I'd appreciate any tips whatsoever.
Thanks,
Brad
