Just a short walk from campus, the Mānoa Falls Trail leads you through a lush rainforest straight to a breathtaking 150-foot waterfall — and it’s basically in your backyard as a UH student.
At the College of Education, we believe the best learning happens beyond four walls. Imagine spending your weekends here, recharging after a week of student teaching, research, and making a real difference in Hawaii’s classrooms.
