Get to Know Your Destination
Honolulu is the biggest city in the Hawaiian Islands encompassing nearly 68 square miles. Within city limits one will find flawless beaches, extinct volcanoes, bustling industrial districts, and a culturally rich local population. The juxtaposition between its natural beauty and swarming metropolis provides Honolulu with a culture all its own. — Tawny Staudinger (National Geographic)

Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk
Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible. However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.
