it’s an amazing major, i’ve learned so much over the past 2 semesters and it’s been a fun experience. for any girls they do have a special scholarship if they do decide to want to get into the major i’m in and it’s to make those ladies have free schooling and to help pay for tools which i thought was cool.

Honolulu Community College is a small campus but it hold abundant different diversity of people from living on the island, to the mainland, to even some from different countries come to our college. My overall feel of the campus is that its a very good campus and safe and secure campus. The professors are all nice and polite, they always is away to get in contact of them if need any help on something in the class. There is also a lot different off of school activities to on school activities from clubs, activities, gatherings. I would recommend this college to somebody if they were looking for that Aloha feeling or them island vibes of going to a college in the Hawaiian Islands

Seems like a small college/campus. I think the school tries to get students involved in activities. Only being a 2 year school, students are primarily focused on their academic programs and that's it. The 1st year students seem lost and the 2nd year students are only concerned about graduating.

In my overall opinion, Honolulu Community College isn't the best for a person willing to take their education to the next level beyond. That is for universities, such as Manoa or Chaminade. Honolulu Community College is basically a stepping stone, you go here only if you don;t know your plan yet. However the great thing about Honolulu Community College is it is very cheap in terms of tuition costs, and its easy to commute to in terms of location, and the classes and staff are great.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Back in high school I was a little above average kind of student. So if I could go back to the past to give myself an advice, the school related advice I would've told myself would be to have taken certain classes more seriously rather than just getting by just to finish school and get a good grade. With that I would've also told myself to not give up, no matter how hard the class was, that all it took was more study time. I would have also told myself to practice improving my study habits, to go out less and use that time wisely to study because after high school, the social life isn't as important as school. Lastly, I would've also told myself to save money sooner, listen to my Geometry teacher who told me to open an account on ING Direct, I should've followed through earlier! But besides all that, I would also encourage myself to continue caring for school, never take a break.

  6. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing is the lack of enthusiasm. Many students here are stuck in that "too cool for school" mindset, and they don't participate in a lot of the fun events we have to offer. If they do attend, they treat our events like jokes. They don't realize how much work actually goes behind creating the events and advertising the events, and it honestly makes me upset.

    My school is a lot cheaper than the University of Hawaii-Manoa. The class size is about 30 while Manoa's size can go to 200! I pay about $2,000 a year while Manoa costs about $8,000. The small class size is good for me because it allows me to get more attention from the teacher.
