Classes are solid depending on your major, and most professors care. Just be ready for the high cost of living and a slower pace of life.

I had to rewrite chapter 3 in course 9030, 2-quarters later. Honestly, there was no point in being told to take course 8080. I recommend they take this out of the curriculum for future cohorts. Other than that, I learned a lot from this program. And the professors give you a lot of one-on-one time and personal attention as needed.

Great classes and instructors, but by far the worst financial aid department I've ever dealt with…read more I've attended HPU for over two years, and not once have I received a payment without going through an exhausting hassle--even when all my requirements were completed on time. The department rarely answers phone calls or responds to emails, and I'm still waiting on a call back regarding my very first Pell Grant check from two years ago. The lack of communication and support is unacceptable, especially for an office responsible for students' financial well-being.

Tasty appetizers and cute games by department heads and managers. Venue is large with expandable banquet area walls. They can set up a bar and picture taking station.

I attended Chaminade for the Nursing Program, but my experience was disappointing. I ended up with…read moretwo professors for Patho/Pharm because one was planning to leave, which led to confusion and conflicting information on critical topics. Only a few professors seemed genuinely invested in their students' success, and sadly, one of them is retiring. The program admits a large number of students, seemingly just to ensure that many of them fail. I understand the need to weed out students, but it feels like they do it with ill intentions. This place is sooo expensive. It not even including the textbooks which are $300 or more, and parking passes cost $250 per semester, which is outrageous considering the limited parking space. We have to share the parking structure with St. Louis students, and much of the parking is inconveniently located at the top of a hill. It feels like our tuition is being spent on maintaining a comfortable lifestyle for the Brothers, which might make sense for a Catholic school, but what about the students? Over the summer, they spent money fixing the road entrance, which seemed unnecessary--it was fine before, and now it just has better-looking lines. Kokua Ike is a great study space, but it's often overcrowded and noisy; I hope it gets the upgrade it deserves! On the plus side, there are frequent free events on campus, which is nice, so I make sure to take advantage of them since I'm essentially paying for them. However, for a private school with such high tuition, the Wi-Fi is consistently slow, and the quality of the ID photos is poor--they come out grainy, and the camera setup forces you to look up instead of straight ahead. There's also a lack of food options. Overall, it seems like Chaminade is more focused on making money than truly caring for its students. I do appreciate the campus cats, the pretty views, and the few dedicated faculty members who remain.

The great lawn, the interesting art pieces, a nice library, variety of food options for students and the public alike under normal circumstances. Unfortunately we are not under normal circumstances so the campus is closed to the public- EXCEPT: when the open market is open on Saturdays, from 7:30 to 11am. Not as big as before, and they are located in parking area closest to Diamond Head Theater (ewa-makai). Other than that- Kapu to the public. (Not opened) Because of the nature of the pandemic it could shut down again so read the papers on the latest changes to lockdown rules. So when regular accessibility returns to the public at large, come by and see what this beautiful campus has to offer. Nice views, decent food options during the week days and delicious culinary delights courtesy of Kapiolani's world class program in the evenings. Support local education!

I started at HMC in 2016 and did not complete my Medical Assistant Program until a few years later…read more During my time there I took a few breaks because of family, work and at one point I decided I just did not want to do it anymore. The staff who I kept in contact with since my enrollment have been so wonderful to me. One member for sure who I would love to mention is Cheryl. She has dealt with me through my ups and downs during my program, she was always there for me and i felt that she Truly wanted to see me succeed. Now, as far as courses go, I had no issues with the materials given or how things were taught. Clinicals are required and let me tell you what a great feeling it is when you're finally there! It makes you want to keep pushing to the end. The instructors that I had during my time there were so awesome. My Favorites were definitely Shelley and Ron. I know most would say that they are strict but honestly I have learned so much from the both of them, things that I have been able to apply at my current job (Pali Momi Vascular Surgery) Externship, yes, this can be very difficult to complete especially if you are currently working and I know a lot of us have families to take care of, but this does go by pretty quickly ( well for me it did) it helps to have support not just with this part but throughout the entire program. Overall I really enjoyed my time here, meeting new people and being able to learn along side one another. The staff almost felt like family. I had a very good experience with HMC!

You need the certificate to test with the state to become an official CNA. It's almost like they just want your money and don't care about the students at all. This college needs to do better.

After high school, my friend's daughter wanted to go to Cosmetology School and needed some customers to gain experience. If you need a simple manicure, pedicure, haircut, etc. - and have time... this is a great place to go! The prices are reasonable, and the students are sweet and open-minded! The teacher came around a few times to check on the progress, so no worries! Book your appointment, park on campus, and sign in with the receptionist who will give a parking pass for $3 - which will be added to the bill for services. It's cash only. Remember to tip the student! Note: I got a manicure - it was very relaxing! My former coworker got a haircut. My friend is getting a scalp treatment and facial tomorrow! I want to try that next!

They team up with local colleges where the international students will go for programs such as UH Manoa's NICE program. Through my colleges: Leeward CC and UH Manoa, I have met many IMPAC students and I've had the time of my life hosting them as a sort of tour guide around the island. I miss my Korean friends SOOO much. If you have international friends or know anyone in Japan or Korea, I would highly suggest you recommend IMPAC to them as a way to get English experience and to have the program on their resume for when they are going into their career. The teachers here are great, the facilities are pretty standard but they are central to town and there's Ala Moana not even five minutes away. Thank you IMPAC for connecting local students with international students and helping us make friends for life.
