For the first time ever, we welcomed Ms. Vanessa Gonsalves, Admissions Counselor from Humboldt State University. Even though HSU is one of the smaller California State University schools, that doesn't mean they don't have a lot to offer. No, quite the opposite. Two of their most popular programs are Social Justice and Natural Resources/Sciences. HSU also focuses on educating students about sustainability and to combat excess waste on campus, they've banned all plastic bottles. Humboldt State University may be an unconventional choice for Hawaii students, but you can't beat their price. Their school offers automatic WUE discounts for tuition, reducing the price to only $10,000. Yes, that's less than University of Hawaii-Manoa.
