Mānoa
One Card
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: UPASS 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.
Library Privileges 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.
Discounts for Campus Activities 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.

What to Expect on Move-In
Day
Here's a Guideline to Help Prepare You Before You Arrive
Whether you are an incoming freshman moving out on your own for the first time, or you are simply new to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa as a transfer student, moving into an on-campus residence hall can be stressful. However, worry not. Below you will find a few tips that will help make this a smooth transition during the move-in process. Don’t Underestimate the Weather All of the residence halls except for Frear Hall do not have air-conditioning, so dress accordingly. There will be a lot of people using the elevators and traveling in and out of the dorms. Be sure to take short breaks when you see fit, and stay hydrated.
Heavy Lifting Student Housing Services will have large rolling carts available for students to help transport large items, such as microwaves or mini-fridges. Carts are limited, so if you own a hand truck or rolling cart, be sure to bring that along to minimize heavy lifting or waiting around for a university-issued cart.
Inspect Your Room Upon move-in you will receive a check-in packet that includes a form from Student Housing Services where you will have the opportunity to assess and record any damages or concerns you see in your room. If these damages are not reported at the beginning of the year, you could be assessed a fee for them upon moving out. Be sure to take your time, and check the list twice. Common problems include tack holes in the walls, stains and chipped furniture.
Time is of the Essence Student Housing Services has designed a scheduled time slot for each student’s movein according to the residence hall that you are moving into, and your last name. Make sure you are moving in at the correct time so you don’t have to wait. Upon arrival, there will be staff and signs directing you to your destination where you will check-in at the front desk. Try to be prompt because traffic will be heavy during the move-in process, so plan accordingly.

Campus
Eats
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 may not make sense at first. 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-care-to-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? 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 - smaller meal plan or maybe a bigger one. 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.
On a meal plan? The following locations are meal plan friendly:
There are other food options available throughout the Mānoa campus, although they don't accept meal plans. They're just as tasty and nutritional but you will need cash or card.

Get Up & Get
Moving
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 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. Gym Time 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!

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 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 unhealthy temptations. 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 Hiking is a great way to incorporate exercise while seeing the beauty of Oʻahu. Views ranging from waterfalls and lush green valleys to the city skyline will not leave you disappointed. With a variety of difficulty levels and terrains to choose from, there is guaranteed to be a trail perfect for everyone. Bike & Bus Riders Walking to and from class everyday is a quick way to get exercise in. 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. There are also bike repair stations on campus for bike commuters.

Island
Adventures
Geographically, O‘ahu is divided into for main are as known simply by local residents as the North, South, East, and West. You will often also hear these locations referred to as “the Country” (north), “Town” (south), “Windward” (east) and “Leeward” (west). Each of these areas offers an array of opportunities to adventure and connect with nature, discover new eateries and to take in the beauty of the islands. While attending UH Mānoa we are certain you will find your own favorite side of the island, but we wanted to share some of our favorites.
West Side
(Leeward)
Known for its untouched beauty, less crowded beaches and epic sunsets, the leeward side of O‘ahu is located along the Wai'anae mountain range, the western side of the island. There is a local vibe when you head west and the further you drive, the less crowded and more peaceful it gets. WEST SIDE BUCKET LIST: • Hike up to Mākua Cave and catch the sunset to end the perfect day • Grab a poke bowl from Tamura Super Market and enjoy it at Makaha Beach • Camp out for the weekend at Yokohama Bay
South Side
(Town)
The South Shore of O‘ahu extends from Pearl Harbor to Hawai‘i Kai and includes many areas in Honolulu such as Downtown, Ala Moana, Kaka‘ako, Waikīkī, Makiki, Kaimuki and Mānoa. Because UH Mānoa is in the heart of Honolulu, these areas are very accessible for students. SOUTH SHORE BUCKET LIST: • Experience a number of events in the revitalized and hip area of Kaka’ako that includes Eat the Street, Honolulu Night Market, Art & Flea • Eat an acai bowl at da Cove Health Bar & Café, malasadas at Leonard’s or grab a plate lunch at iconic Rainbow Drive-In

North Side
(Country)
One of the best places to relax and unwind is the North Shore of O‘ahu. World-renown surfing capital of the world, the northern part of the island is home to iconic Hale'iwa Town, Dole Plantation, Polynesian Cultural Center and Ka'ena Point. It takes a little bit of effort to get there from the UH Mānoa campus, so grab a few friends for the adventure and make a day out of it. NORTH SHORE BUCKET LIST: • Grab a shave ice from Matsumoto, or better yet, avoid the crowd and cross the street to Aoki’s Shave Ice • During winter, witness the ultimate surfing showdown during the Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing and the World Surf League Tour (WSL) contest • Explore the various food trucks selling garlic shrimp and determine which one is best (Kahuku)
East Side
(Windward)
The eastern part of O‘ahu is home to some of the most incredible beaches, hikes and scenery on the island. When you hear of the Windward side, you often think of beaches like Sandy’s and Makapu’u and scenic points like the Pali Lookout and Chinaman’s hat. And the Ko'olau Mountains - truly a sight to see! Ask any student on campus and most likely their favorite beach will be located on this side of the island. EAST SIDE BUCKET LIST: • Take in the beauty of the Ko’olau Mountain Range from Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden • Adventure by horseback or ATV at Kualoa Ranch while exploring the location where many movies such as Jurassic World were filmed • Snorkel with thousands of fish at Hanauma Bay

Hiking Safety Tips 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. • 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 and when you expect to return. That person can contact the necessary authorities in case of an emergency. • 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, turn around. • Check weather conditions. Prior to leaving for your hike, be sure weather conditions are appropriate for hiking. If it recently rained or there is a forecast for showers, reschedule the hike for another day.

• Drink lots of water during your time at the beach - it is easy to get dehydrated. • Be honest with your abilities and be willing to learn through observation and sometimes, correction

Making the Most at
Mānoa
College is one of the most exciting times of your life. It is where you gain independence, find out who you are and build a community of friends to create memories cherished far beyond your time on campus. Your Mānoa experience goes by in a blink of an eye, so we asked some of our students how one can make the most of being a Warrior.
First year students who are undeclared should take classes they're interested in and use their first year to find what they are truly passionate about. College is an essential part of our lives and it not only teaches us lifelong skills but it also gives us lifelong friends. College is all about what you make of it!” KYLE SWARDENSKI

The best thing you can do at UH is get involved on campus as early as possible... join clubs, Greek life, study groups, get an on campus job, etc. If you create a good support system (both on and off island) early, you'll be more successful in the long haul.” FAITH HALL
Cincinnati, Ohio Anthropology
It’s easy to feel welcomed on the UH Mānoa campus. There are lots of free events that go on throughout the semester and by attending those events you can learn a lot about the campus and meet a ton of people. Some of the best ways to make the most of Mānoa are by exploring the clubs, organizations, and student employment opportunities on campus." LAURA AMBROSECCHIO

As a commuter student, transportation and being prepared are essential to making the most out of my time at Mānoa. I utilize my UPASS to get around, and I always pack my umbrella, water bottle and jacket to be prepared for any type of weather on campus. I tend to stay late at school to study and work, so I often buy dinner at Ba-le, then study at Sinclair Library which is open on most weekdays for 24 hours. DPS, our campus public safety, provides a Safety Escort Service which offers rides from campus to the dorms or anywhere else on campus that you don't want to walk alone, especially when it's late on campus.” LAUREN YEE

A student can make the most of being at Mānoa by attending sporting events (football, baseball, volleyball, etc.) and supporting our Rainbow Warriors and Wahine. Students should participate in events around campus, and take advantage of the island by hiking and going to the beach." MAKANA DELARA
Hilo, Hawai'i (Big Island) Computer Engineering
Make the most of being at UH Mānoa but taking up an extra curricular that you enjoy and can also put on your resumè! Such as an intramural sports or clubs. Also take advantage of all the free things on campus such as the gym, career/help centers, the bus pass, etc.” HANNAH PETRO
Lakewood, Colorado Entrepreneurship/International Business
My advice to incoming freshman is to be bold. Go to all of UHM’s offered orientations. I know its challenging but get out of your c omfort zone and attend as many activities as you can instead of staying cooped up in your dorm. The more people you meet, the more comfortable you become and less frightening the change becomes. O'ahu is a long way from home, but having a strong support system with your new ohana will prevent homesickness” GABRIELLE CARVALHO
