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.

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.

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.

Maui Community College is great for students who like a laid-back environment. It is a small school, but has a lot to offer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I enjoy the food at UHMC. They have an excellent culinary academy and it shows because food is delicious and reasonably priced.

I like going to the beach. It's close no matter which beach you chose to go to that day, and its free!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is a very culturally diverse atmosphere where you can meet people from all over the world. Most of the teachers are passionate about what they are teaching and there to help students when needed. This school is in a great location and has a great environment and look; it is very well kept.

If you sign up for a class, attend it. Don't waste money on classes that you don't end up going to. Take classes you are interested in.

The academic rigor depends on the level of the class and the subject/teacher. I am currently in the nursing program and it is very rigorous.

I cannot accurately rate dorm life because I don't live in the dorms. I have heard they are pretty nice and a decent place to live.

The culinary students provide lunch daily and offer different meals consistently. You will always have many dishes to choose from that taste delicious.

Being on Maui, the school is very close to the beach. You can go sunbathing or surfing depending on the waves. The college also offers dances and parties for certain occasions.

from studying this college, ive found it to be a great match to what im looking for. the classes are relatively small and there are many places on-campus that i can find help. after reading some reviews of instructors, i seen that they use different tools to help students understand the course.

i feel that i will definitely enjoy my time at maui community college. the scenery as well as campus are both beautiful and the beaches are only minutes away. it also allows me to become independent but know that im not far away from my relatives.

i am willing to submit any information that i may be required to and also to dedicate myself to this college. i believe my money will be invested into a school that will benefit me with my future goals and help me make a smooth transition to a mainland university.
