I did learn a lot during my first semester here, but I feel that the teaching could be improved. It seems like some of the teachers come to class, teach, and are waiting for it to be over with. The interaction with students are not as strong as it should be. I know this is not high school, but having a teacher that has a bit of an attitude toward their students, does not really help in a learning environment.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I like the fact that I am going to college, but just the fact that I am still on Maui is not exciting to me. Since I grew up here, I want to get away, experience college life somewhere else. Here, it is so boring. I like being in college, but not here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would suggest having a plan and sticking to it. If you are always second guessing yourself or changing your plan, you are just going to be left with last minute decisions. These decisions affect your future so spend time thinking about what you want to do. For one thing, do not let anyone interfere with your plan. Do not let the negativity of others affect you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Maui Community College is great for students who like a laid-back environment. It is a small school, but has a lot to offer.
