You’ve made your decision and a good one at that. Youʻre on your way to becoming a Rainbow Warrior and in just a few months, this new journey will begin. Like any transition there’s a learning curve and we wanted to make it as easy and seamless as possible for you (and 'ohana too). Our Office of Admissions partnered with Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, the campus newspaper, where a handful of Rainbow Warriors offered tips, best practices, and ins and outs for transitioning to life here at UH Mānoa. Learn about Moving to Mānoa from the very ones who experienced it first-hand!

HOW THE ID CARD WORKS At UH Mānoa, student identification cards are called Mānoa One Cards and are free. These are obtained at the Campus Center Ticket, Information & ID Office after a student has established a UH email account and registered for classes on campus. All holds and financial obligations need to be cleared before a card can be issued. A valid form of identification is required for a student to receive a card. Uses of the Mānoa One Card range from discount rentals to dining services:

The UPass —a sticker placed on the UH Mānoa One Card aka your student ID card — provides free bus transportation around the island on TheBus. Many campus services offer discounts for students with IDs. At the Leisure Center, students are eligible for cheaper equipment rentals and leisure classes. Tickets to Kennedy Theater will sometimes be sold at student rates with these cards. Students are also eligible for special pricing on computers and student-designed HI Pride T-shirts at the UH Bookstore.

ACCESS TO CAMPUS EVENTS & RESOURCES

Students need their cards to borrow items from Hamilton and Sinclair libraries. The cards are also needed to enter the libraries after 9 p.m.

Any fee-paying student is eligible for discounted or free tickets to UH Mānoa athletic events. Free T-shirts or prizes are often given out to students who attend games and sit in the student sections.

DINING SERVICES

The Mānoa One Card is used for meal transactions, such as meal swipes for meal plans and dining dollars.

OFF-CAMPUS DISCOUNTS

Mānoa One Cards can get students deals off campus, too. There are many restaurants and shops where students can flash their IDs to receive benefits like a free drink or meal discount.

RESEARCH AT MĀNOA

Take charge of your own research, or assist a professor’s

The research emphasis at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is unmatched at any other university in Hawaiʻi. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s designation of UH Mānoa as having “very high research activity” is not just for show. Not only do the faculty actively conduct their own research, but students are encouraged to get in on the action. Ranging from exploring theater in Iran, to examining the cancer-fighting properties of the noni fruit, and exploring gender and society in Bolivia - research is not confined just to the sciences or the “laboratory.”

FOR THE FREEBIES If you ever wondered what it is like to be a lab rat in an experiment, the researchers at UH Mānoa do their best to make it worth your while. Not only will you lend a helping hand to someone in need, but experiments often offer compensation for your valuable time, such as cash, gift cards, and the oh-so-important extra credit. The Communications, Psychology and Economics departments, among others, at UH Mānoa, often hold studies involving student participation, so be sure to ask them about any upcoming opportunities.

FOR THE EXPERIENCE Consider working with a professor on his or her research. You will get a first-hand look at what goes on inside a study, and you may even get to do some of the cutting-edge research yourself. Professors will work with you so that your research hours fit with your class schedule. The Student Employment & Cooperative Education (SECE) and the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program’s (UROP) are two good starting places to search for assistant positions. Network with your professors to find someone who has a research interest that matches yours and work to create your own position, as most labs have or are looking for undergraduate helpers.

FOR THE GLORY

13 •

Dive into your own research project and your resume will shine! Go abroad to conduct your research or stay local. UROP helps with project approval and funding, as they have funded over 300 student-led projects under the guidance of faculty mentors. The Associated Students of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (ASUH) also offers funding for research projects. At the end of each semester, the Honors Program and UROP hold an undergraduate showcase, to present your work for feedback, judging, and awards. Ask your professors for advice or set up an appointment with UROP. Getting an early start is key to beginning your research journey. manoa.hawaii.edu/admissions/accepted

GET UP, AND GET MOVIN’!

Tips and tricks to avoid the ‘Freshman 15’

College can be stressful. Schedules are often packed with trying to juggle a social life, relationships, classes, jobs, clubs and many other responsibilities, leaving students with little to no time at all to pay attention to what they eat, or spare time to exercise. But, let’s face it: too much neglect can lead to the Freshman 15 – the traditional weight gain that many students experience during their first year of college. Below are some tips for staying fit and healthy throughout the school year.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS

GYM TIME

LEISURE CENTER

UHM offers a variety of intramural sports, including indoor/outdoor soccer, flag football, basketball, dodgeball, kickball, softball and volleyball.All leagues are welcoming to newcomers and first-timers. This is a perfect way to make new friends and meet new people, all the while staying healthy and burning those extra calories.

The Warrior Rec Center is equipped with a variety of weight machines, cardio machines, free weights, an indoor track and volleyball and basketball courts. Familiarize yourself with the hours, rules and regulations to ensure that you come to the gym prepared. Be sure to bring your validated UHM student ID, a small towel, workout apparel and shoes. Don't forget socks or a lock for your locker. Forgot anything? Stop by the Bookstore next door to grab any last minute items!

Student Recreation Services offers students many ways to be active outdoors. Students can learn how to kayak, sail, surf, body board, stand-up paddleboard, scuba dive or snorkel. To participate, stop by the Physical Education/Athletic Complex, Room 200 located near the Stan Sheriff Center. Don’t forget your validated UHM student ID and money to pay for classes. Most activity classes cost approximately $22-$27, and more advanced classes like scuba diving or sailing are $97-$210.

EAT HEALTHY While it’s tempting (and convenient) to grab a burger and fries or a slice of pizza, try to limit those unhealthy food selections. Increasing your fruit and vegetable intake is a great source of energy, all the while keeping extra calories at bay. Opt to make a healthy sandwich such as a pb&j with banana slices on whole wheat bread, or a salad with a bit of chicken for added protein. Bringing home lunch regularly can help you resist the temptation to buy unhealthy meals. Furthermore, instead of getting soda, fill up your water bottle at one of the refill locations or drinking fountains on campus.

GO ON A HIKE EVERY WEEKEND Get a group of friends together and set out for some adventure. Hiking is a great way to incorporate exercise while seeing the beauty that Oʻahu has to offer. Views ranging from waterfalls and lush green valleys to the city skyline and everything in between, you will not be disappointed. With a variety of difficulty levels and terrains to choose from, there is guaranteed to be a trail perfect for everyone.

BIKE AND BUS RIDERS Although catching the Rainbow Shuttle is convenient, walking to and from class everyday is a quick way to get exercise in, especially if you don’t have time to make it to the gym. Also, rather than waiting for TheBus, opt to bike or skateboard to your destination. There are more than 50 free bike racks and a bike cage on campus for bike parking. Also, there are bike repair stations on campus for bike commuters.

STUDENT HOUSING FAQ Source: https://manoa.hawaii.edu/housing/ay/faq

HOUSING CHARGES/PAYMENTS AND THE UH STUDENT ACCOUNT

When I look at my University Student account on-line at http://MyUH.hawaii.edu, why is my housing payment $100 less than what I paid?

I paid my housing and meal costs. Why does my UH student account show that a payment is due?

SURVIVAL SUPPLIES

FOR NEW STUDENTS

College is more than just textbooks and long nights of studying. For most, it’s a break away from the constraints of living at home. Traveling from off island, it may be difficult to ship everything you own. Aside from clothes and maybe a few electronics, students enter their residence hall with virtually nothing. Unfortunately, the residential halls do not come fully furnished, meaning many products are needed for basic survival in an average college student’s life.

When your initial payment is made, $100 is put into a security deposit account. Unfortunately, this account cannot be seen on-line through the MyUH site. After you checkout and once all post-checkout damage charges have been posted, the deposit will be released into your University Student Account. Once released to your account, the payment will have the description “Man Housing Deposit,” and will be applied to the balance of your University Student Account. Any remaining credit balance will be refunded to you. If you have other UH charges (i.e. tuition, student activity fees, etc.) that are unpaid, the system will redirect your housing and/or meal plan payment and apply it to those other outstanding charges first. Therefore, though you intended to pay off your housing charges, your account may still show a balance due for housing charges if you had other UH charges that needed to be paid off first. Your initial $400 housing payment, however, will be immediately applied to housing charges only ($100 as a security deposit and $300 as rent).

FOR YOUR ROOM

LOST KEY

Where do I go if I’m locked out?

You may go to your front desk during desk hours or to the Staff-OnCall after desk hours.

FRONT DESK SERVICES AND ADMIN INFO

Q? Q?

What is a Staff-On-Call?

Where is the Student Housing Office?

At least one staff member is on duty in each residence hall after business hours, on weekends and during holidays. The On-Call staff member responds to policy violations, lock-outs and emergencies.

How do I receive my mail/ packages?

FOR BATHING

Student Housing Services is located in the south facing tower of Frear Hall, 2569 Dole Street. Telephone: (808) 956-8177

Contact your RA or CIR or any other hall staff member. They will be able to talk to you about the situation, offer you different options about what to do or assist in helping you communicate with your roommate(s). Mediation service is also available through the CIR’s.

TEXTBOOK SAVINGS TIPS SHOP EARLY. The best selection of used books are available about 3 weeks in advance of the semester, but they sell out quickly because of their lower price points. Avoid the crowds on the first days of classes! The bookstore is open 6 days a week, and has extended hours for back-toschool. Order your books online or come to the bookstore before classes start for faster service and cheaper prices.

THE MĀNOA BOOKSTORE

The campus bookstore offers more than just books. School supplies such as planners, lab equipment and notebooks are sold here. A collection of Rainbow Warrior apparel can also be found at this store. All proceeds from UH Bookstores support the educational mission of the University of Hawai’i.

SAVE YOUR RECEIPT. You may find that you want to drop a class or that an instructor has changed the book requirements when you go to your first class. You may return your books during the first week of instruction for full refund, but not without your original receipt! Review the bookstore’s return policies prior to purchase. RENT YOUR BOOKS. Some classes have books that you’re allowed to rent, which means you pay less and return the books at the end of the semester. UH Bookstore’s rental book program has saved students more than $2 million since it started in 2010. Always ask if a book may be rented before purchase. SELL BACK YOUR BOOKS. Mānoa Bookstore hosts textbook buyback 6 times a year to help students defray the costs of books. The bookstore pays up to 50% the new book price for used books in saleable condition. To get the most for your book, ask your instructor to reuse the same edition for their class next semester, and keep your book free of markings such as margin notes or water damage. ASK FOR HELP.

THE MIGHTY MEAL PLAN To ensure the student population does not go hungry, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa mandated that students living on-campus have meal plans. Terms like meal swipes, points, Hale Aloha and Gateway will get thrown at you, and none of it will make any sense. Rest assured, we’ve got you covered. Here is a rundown of meal plans at UH Mānoa. Meals Initially, the most confusing thing about a plan is the difference between meals and points. Each week, depending on your meal plan, you have seven to 19 meals a week. Using a meal swipe at one of the residence halls cafeterias, Hale Aloha Cafeteria or Gateway Cafeteria, will get you into an all-you-careto-eat buffet. Using a meal swipe elsewhere will give you $5.50 cash value. Meals expire at the end of the week. Points Each semester you are given a certain number of points ranging from 100 to 250, depending on which meal plan you get. A point is worth a dollar. Use points to pay the difference between one meal swipe and the full cost of your meal when not at one of the residence hall cafeterias. Points roll over from the fall to spring semester. Use them by the end of the school year.

Locations If you want to avoid spending cash, eat at the residence hall cafeterias, Pizza Hut, Sitr Fresh, Ba-Le, the Campus Center cafeteria, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Simply to Go and The Market. These locations accept your points as a form of payment. The best value is a residence hall cafeteria. If you do not have time to eat at the cafeteria, you can pay 50 cents for a take-out box and cup. Is it worth it? Compared to cooking for yourself, meal plans are not worth continuing. However, cooking takes time and planning. During your college years, you may find yourself with barely enough time to go to the cafeteria to eat. Use this first year to find the best option for the future. Though meal plans can be costly, they can be easy and convenient for those living on campus. Spend your meals, keep track of your points and eat your fill.

TRUCKS, WAGONS, STANDS

The lines at Campus Center, Ba Le and Paradise Palms can get long at lunch time. Try out these locally-owned food trucks, wagons and stands located across campus.

WARRIORS KNOWS BEST

There’s plenty to do on the island of O‘ahu without venturing too far. There are many places you can access near Mānoa, whether in a car, on the bus or by foot. The south side of O‘ahu is composed of several neighborhoods, including the new and hip Ka‘kaako, world-famous Waikīkī with hidden treasures and, of course, Mānoa. We asked a handful of Rainbow Warriors to share their best picks in and around town.

"Shaka Shaka Tea Express on University Avenue. They use fresh ingredients, no powders, and have a variety of flavors even with boba! I really like their milk tea!" YASMEEN MANSOUR CIVIL ENGINEERING

"The Republik! It's a concert venue on Kapiolani Blvd. that host artists ranging from indie to alternative, to reggae, to EDM. It's a smaller concert venue so you get to be closer to the performers. My favorite show was when Halsey performed; it was great!" LEAH MIYASATO CIVIL ENGINEERING

"I am obsessed with breakfast food, so a place that I recommend that is close just a Rainbow Shuttle away is Kaimuki Superette. The organic and locally grown food varies seasonally so if you are lucky you can get a taste of their sensational lilikoi butter!" NATALIE HAJINELIAN POLITICAL SCIENCE AND ECONOMICS

"Cafe GG - Internet Gaming cafe that offers college discounts to play on high level gaming computers. It's close to campus and has great prices! They are open until 2AM on Fridays and Saturday. My personal favorite is to play the League of Legends." MATTHEW CHOY BIOLOGY

"Sikdorak on Keeaumoku. It is all you can eat Korean Barbecue. You get rice, kimchee, assorted meats - it's so good! If you have a party of 6, it's cheaper great to go with your friends!" JAMES COWPER CIVIL ENGINEERING

"Gyu-Kaku on Kapiolani is my favorite yakiniku spot in town. Half off on select food and drinks. Make sure to make reservations." SIERRA CALLIHAN ENGLISH AND POLITICAL SCIENCE

"Pa’ina Café located in Koko Marina Shopping Center on Kalanianaole Hwy. Known to be the home of the original poke bowl. There is no better way to top off a day at the beach than eating a delicious poke crunch bowl." KENT RYKMAN ACCOUNTING (BUSINESS)

"On campus, I recommend going to The Curb for coffee instead of Starbucks, as the lines are usually shorter, and it can often be cheaper if you're smart about what you purchase. Try the home made lavender syrup it's subtle but delicious. I would also recommend trying the crepe food truck by the law school - the prices are high, but if you get a savory crepe, it's well worth it. Within Mānoa Valley, I recommend checking out Fendu Boulangerie for amazing pastries, and Morning Glass Cafe for tasty coffee and breakfast foods." NICOLYN CHARLOT PSCYHOLOGY

SURF SPOTS

] BEACH SAFETY ]

a beginner’s guide to surfing on O‘ahu

Hawai‘i is one of the top surfing destinations in the world, in fact, this is where surfing was born. Being a student at UH Manoa, provides a perfect opportunity to learn how to surf and experience some of the best waves in the world. So where exactly can beginners go to learn to surf? Here are a few places:

Canoes

Directly across the Duke Kahanamoku Statue on Kalakaua Avenue, Canoes is a popular attraction for tourists and for longboarders looking for party waves. This surf spot tends to be crowded with both beginners and more advanced surfers. However, it has consistent waves over reef and coral with a swell that is normally 1 to 3 feet working up to 10 feet when the winter swells kick in.

Ala Moana Courts

The Ala Moana Courts break is located across from the tennis courts at Ala Moana Beach Park. Next to it is Concessions, where more experienced boarders paddle to. Like Canoes, Courts is also over reef and coral. The swell is normally 2 to 4 feet working up to 5 feet at the most. It can get crowded during dawn patrol but if you get lucky, bring your board out and enjoy the break.

White Plains

If you’re looking to for out-of-town surf spots, White Plains has decent sets for beginners, although the waves do not have much power. At the most, the swell goes up to 6 feet but regularly peaks at 1 to 2 feet year-round. White Plains is a popular destination for families and military, so the break crowds easily. However, the sets are easy, party waves that beginners can learn to maneuver on. When choosing a surfboard, beginners should start off with a longboard because longer and thicker boards make riding waves easier. Beginners should also pay attention to surf etiquette. Respect goes a long way. Be honest with your abilities and be willing to learn through observation and sometimes, correction. Understanding unwritten rules such as wave priority, placement, and lineups will help you become a better and more respected surfer in the water. At the end of the day, surfing is all about having fun in the water and while at it, respecting the environment around you.

Hawai‘i is famous for its beaches, but its important to practice beach safety. The ocean poses a number of unseen dangers, including sharp reefs and rocks, aquatic life, strong currents, powerful waves, and others. Prior to entering the water, be sure to practice the following tips: • Look out for warning signs or flags posted, and check with a lifeguard to find out where safe and unsafe swimming areas are, especially if you are new to a beach. Do not assume that a section of water is safe to swim in just because there are other people swimming there. • Be confident in your swimming abilities prior to entering the water. If you are inexperienced, have someone teach you until you feel comfortable swimming alone. Do not underestimate the power of the waves or overestimate your capabilities. • Wear sunscreen, even if it is cloudy. Do not stay in the sun for an extended period of time in order to avoid sun stroke. • Drink lots of water during your time at the beach – it is easy to get dehydrated after spending time in the sun and surf. • Be mindful of others and their safety. Familiarize yourself with the location of a nearest lifeguard in case of any emergenies. • State law prohibits touching or playing with aquatic life such as Green Sea Turtles and the Hawaiian Monk Seal. If you see any of these animals on the beach or in the water, please remember to enjoy them from afar.

OʻAHU TRAILS: EASY TO MODERATE TRAILS WITH DELIGHTFUL SCENERY

Mysterious crater The Diamond Head State Monument sits on the eastern edge of the Waikīkī coastline. The trail includes a paved path and steep steps, which eases hikers up to an elevation of 560 feet with coastal views of Waikīkī and the crater. The view is breathtaking, and the historical U.S. military pillboxes and tunnel are fun to explore. Hikers who drive must pay a $5 entrance fee and $10 for parking. The charge is $1 for pedestrians. The park closes at 6 p.m.

Nautical in paradise Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail is within Ka Iwi State Scenic Shoreline, and has amazing views of the shoreline. The lighthouse gives a foreign-far-awayland feel. The temperatures, for the most part, are bearable during the later afternoon hours, although the trail can get quite hot during the middle of the day.

Million-dollar view Lanikai Pillboxes Trail is short and intermediate, The path has some steep slopes and hikers must occasionally hold on to trees while going up and down the trail. Tennis shoes or hiking boots with good traction are a must for this trail. The view is unforgettable, but there are also three old military pillboxes you can climb into and explore. This trail is often popular in the mornings, as one can frequently view the sunrise from the ridge. Street Parking available

] HIKING SAFETY ] O'ahu's hiking trails are some of the most beautiful in the world. Before hitting the trails, here are a few tips to keep you safe: • Do your research. Determine whether you are capable of completing the hike. Be aware that different people will have different perspectives on what constitutes "easy," "intermediate" and "hard" difficulty levels. • Wear good hiking shoes with grip and support. Apply sunscreen and bring more water than you anticipate (at least two to three liters). • Tell at least one person who isn't coming with you where you will be hiking and when you expect to return. That person can contact the necessary authorities in case of an emergency. • Take a cell phone with you, but remember that you may not always get reception on Oʻahu trails. • Stay on the designated path and do not leave the trail for any reason, as there may be unforeseen dangers. • Be aware of your capabilities. If you begin a hike and realize you are not capable of continuing on, turn around. • Check weather conditions. Prior to leaving for your hike, be sure weather conditions are appropriate for hiking. If it has recently rained or there is a forecast for showers, reschedule the hike for another day.

Horseback Riding Coconut Island

Night Market

Camping

Shop Local

Have you ever wanted to learn how to ride a horse? Becoming a professional rider and learning how to ride on your own can take up a lot of time and energy, neither of which college students usually have. However, there are places (such as Kualoa Ranch or Happy Trails Hawai‘i) that offer a scenic tour on horseback. The adventure and unique experience are often worth the fee.

On the third Saturday of each month, locals and visitors alike enjoy the Honolulu Night Market held in Kaka‘ako. It features a variety of arts and fashion exhibitions, as well as food trucks to satisfy every culinary craving. The theme is different each month, which means you would experience something new each time. Other monthly events that occur in Kakaʻako include Art & Flea — a craft fair that is held on the last Thursday of every month, and Eat the Street — an event which occurs on the last Friday of each month that features many different types of foods from various vendors around the island.

Grab some friends, a few tents, food and blankets, and head out to a safe and secure location. Camping is a great way to bond with new friends, get away from technology for a while, do some stargazing and enjoy nature at its finest. However, before you camp, make sure you determine whether or not you need to acquire a permit, and whether there are any camping fees at your site. On campus, you can conveniently rent out camping equipment through the Intramural and Extracurricular Office.

In addition to the big name shops and malls, O'ahu offers many locally owned boutiques found throughout the island for one-of-a-kind products and items made in Hawai'i. A must see is the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet in the city of Aiea, near the Arizona Memorial. Looking for fresh produce and taste of the islands? Visit a number of local Farmers Markets throughout the week, including our very own at Campus Center every Tuesday and Friday. A little creativity, investigation and willingness to try something new can go a long way and lead to more meaningful and memorable experiences on the island.

A perfect introduction for Marine Biology majors, a tour of Coconut Island is a great way to participate in hands-on activities to learn more about marine life. The drive to Kāne‘ohe is an adventure by itself, but experiencing Coconut Island is simply riveting. To get to the island, you have to take a quick three-five minute motorboat ride. Once there, you take a tour and get to see a shark tank as well as participate in other fun hands-on activities.
