Review of Hawaii Community College

from Hilo, HI

Describe your college in three sentences.

HawaiiCC is a small, comfortable schooling environment, with understanding teachers and aloha friendly students I enjoy taking classes here to achieve my career goal at being a RN. They have a well managed campus with campus security and is well maintained with the restrooms and classes. It's location is very convenient also, being located right in the middle of Hilo makes the school close to many places including students homes.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Hawaii in general isn't known well for their education levels but in the islands of Hawaii I believe that HawaiiCC offers a well leveled academic teaching scale. They aren't to fast paced but not to easy going. Kind of gets you thinking but also helps you have a good understanding.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorming would be located on the UH campus. The hale's you would reside in are decent. Hilo is a hot but humid place so if you decide to come to school here, be ready for rain.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I love Hawaiian food, and HawaiiCC isn't just located near many local island diners but also near the UH campus where they also serve local plates.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

For fun I like to spend time with my son. Going to school takes up a lot of my time so when I have extra spare time I like to have quality mommy and me time.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have a lot of different holidays and traditions from other schools because of our culture. If you enjoy gathering and bbq's HawaiiCC is the place to be.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

HawaiiCC is great for students that need to take their required basic classes then plan to transfer to a University to continue their career goals.
