Question: which community college is in honolulu/waikiki area?kapiolani or hcc?? what colleges are near that area? and do they offer dorm housing or student aide?21 months ago
Best AnswerYou've already gotten good answers to your questions. The only thing I have to add is that each campus has things that is specializes in. KCC has a fine culinary program and a nursing school. HCC has some of the things that are often associated w/ a trade school, such as electronics. KCC is slightly closer to Waikiki & is in more of a residential area, while HCC is closer to downtown Honolulu & is in more of a light industrial area. |
