Yes, it's confirmed! I am now signed in contract for a student house in Hawaii! And be warned: you may get a little jealous after hearing about it :) It is a half a mile from campus, but all flat so my cousin Kylee (who was SO kind to go check it out for me!) said it was about a 5 or 6 minute walk. She said it was probably the nicest student housing she's been to there.... so phew! I was so nervous because I have heard so many horror stories about students thinking they're getting nice housing and then they arrive and have to find somewhere else to live in 2 days. So glad that's not me!
Anyways, back to bragging. I will live in the room with a bunk bed, but I get the full sized bed on the bottom- oh yeah! Then the Foodland Supermarket is only a couple streets over, about a 5 minute walk. And now, the best part yet, are you ready for it? I am 3 minutes or less from the BEACH! Say alooooha to jogs on the beach, studying on the beach (well, attempt at studying...), and beautiful breath-taking sunsets every. single. night. Pure bliss.
As you can tell, I am extremely excited to start this new adventure! I have started to figure out all my classes and now I have housing, so everything is started to work itself out. I am so extremely blessed to have this opportunity to go and I can't wait for it to get started!
Here is a link for pics of my housing (but I'm not sure it will work since technically you're supposed to be signed in as a student): http://offcampushousing.byuh.edu/node/1916
And if that one doesn't work, or if it does, take a peek at the satellite view on GoogleMaps! The address is 55-422 Iosepa St, Laie, HI 96762, USA
