An online reality show is spotlighting the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

America Online's "Project: Freshman" picked three UH freshman for season two of their hit reality series.

The students are provided with cameras to document everyday college experiences, including all the drama in between.

"Oh, it's going to be awesome! My first week -- it's very fun going around with a camera and seeing other people," cast member Bri Laga-Ramos said. "It's just really fun right now."

"In terms of the exposure, the value, the opportunity to show the rest of the world what UH Manoa has to offer, from the social standpoint from the academic standpoint, and everything in between. We are so ecstatic," broadcast manager Tracy Orillo-Donovan said.

AOL won an Emmy for season one, and UH hopes to help them win their second.
