I feel the education at the University of Hawaii Maui College is excellent. I enjoy how the instructors help promote learning the content by having us apply what we learn in simulation labs, as well as, field course work (i.e. community health fairs, assisted living facilities). The atmosphere is relaxed and the instructors encourage communication and feedback.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
While in lecture classes, be sure to ask plenty of questions to ensure you are understanding the content. Also, get plenty of sleep for this will help you retain more of the information taught during lectures.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The first year of nursing school tends to be more difficult because it is writing intensive. Having to learn so much new medical jargon on top of the patho-physiology can be difficult, but stick to it and it will all come together.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am a full time student with a family size of four. My husband is the head of household so we live off campus. I cannot comment on dorm life.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I enjoy the food at UHMC. They have an excellent culinary academy and it shows because food is delicious and reasonably priced.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I like going to the beach. It's close no matter which beach you chose to go to that day, and its free!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Eating at school is always a good bet, but for non-school days, eating at the lunch trucks in Kahului Harbor is cheap and good. Also, there are some good spots in the Queen Kaahumanu Center across the street from the University. As for me, I usually cook for my family at home.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Hawaiian culture is huge on campus, although I wouldn't call it unusual. It is definitely rare to see such historical culture on a college campus. They also have Okinawa, Filipino, and Keiki (children) events on campus.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are wanting to immerse yourself in a multi-cultural environment, University of Hawaii, Maui College is the place to be. There is so much emphasis and respect for all cultures and that is something hard to find.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many clubs and activities. Unfortunately, I am a mother and a wife, so my focus is caring for my family and doing well in my academic studies.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Security is well seen on campus. They patrol the campus morning, noon and night. They also have emergency call buttons throughout the school which helps me feel safe.
