Whether it is from your friend’s prior experiences or what your advisor tells you to take, the more options WHAT TEACHER/CLASS you are aware of the better. Students often do not get to know subjects outside of their major, and asking others is one of the ways to get to know how to ﬁ ll that three-hour break you need to get rid of. We asked students IMPACTED YOU THE MOST? what classes or teachers impacted their time at UH Mānoa.

JARIN MORIGUCHI & IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR / CONTRIBUTING WRITER Whether you have just arrived at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa or you have been here for years, there are a variety of places on campus where students can relax, explore and study. You may have passed some of these locations during your daily commute and have never thought to stop by, or maybe you have never heard of them until now. Either way, these are spots that students should check out in their spare time.

iLAB The iLab may look like a run-down building from the outside, but on the inside it is ﬁ lled with tools and cool tech, like a 3D printer. The iLab is an interactive classroom and student center that can be utilized by people of all academic backgrounds. Located between the Art Building and Kuykendall Hall, it is a location that is often used for presentations and other community events. One of the more recent events was the Shark Tank Competition, which was held in November 2016. Note: The building was formerly known as ‘Building 37’ before its unveiling after reno- vation in March 2016.

FREE STORE The Free Store, located in the campus’ Art Building, was created to allow students and faculty to exchange items that are no longer wanted for ones that they may repurpose. The idea of the Free Store is to leave something and take something. This way, the store is always ‘stocked’ with supplies for people to look through, and ideally prevents old items from going directly into the garbage can. This is part of an effort to demonstrate the ‘re-use’ aspect of the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle.

KRAUSS DUCK POND Krauss Hall’s duck pond is a hidden-in-plain-sight location. Hundreds of students pass by Krauss Hall — just off of Legacy Path — daily, yet few venture into its courtyard where the pond is located. Visitors may be surprised by the large family of ducks that live within the pond, and the ducklings can be found waddling around the hall’s center during certain times of the year. The ducks’ quacking and splashing can be soothing to some, making this an ideal spot to nap after a long day of class. However, be sure to wear bug spray if you are sticking around for a while, as many mosquitoes also inhabit this area.

BOTANY COURTYARD Sometimes a brief escape from the concrete jungle is a necessity. But some students may not have the time between classes to travel to Mānoa Falls or the beach. The botany courtyard, located next to the front steps of St. John, is a convenient destination for a quick getaway. Need shade? The courtyard has several species of trees, bushes and shrubs, both native and non-native. While not large, this area does offer benches to sit and enjoy some of the nature that the campus has to offer.

ZEN GARDEN The East-West Center’s Japanese Garden is a place that students can go to sit and study. Its relaxing setting, tucked away from the general rush of more central places on campus, allows you to take a break for a few minutes. Obscured from street view, the garden may be unknown to students who do not often travel through the East-West Center during their daily commutes. The area features a stone pagoda and small waterfall, as well as many plant species such as the coral shower tree. That particular tree was planted by Japan’s then Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko in 1964.

So, for many, attending the Univer- sity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa may seem like settling for less. For two seniors, it was a chance for them to break that stereotype and take on every opportunity that came their way.
