Question: how much does housing cost at hawaii community college, and Maui Community college?12 months ago

Question: Does anyone attend Maui Community College in Hawaii?Just wanted some feedback and advice, since im planning to apply there :)36 months ago
Best AnswerIt's a good small college,but a bit isolated. If you're determined to go to community college in Hawai'i i'd suggest applying to one of the other community colleges on the island of O'ahu: Windward, Honolulu, Kapi'olani, Leeward... PLENTY to choose from! I graduated from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, and it was wonderful to live in Honolulu and venture off campus. If you already live on Maui, then by all means apply to MCC. However, I encourage you, though, to check out their course listings. Enrollment has dropped at MCC, so they aren't offereing as many courses as when enrollment was higher. The nice thing about the community colleges on O'ahu is that they offer an array of professional training jobs. Best wishes on your academic pursuits... |
