MCC
(now called UHMC) is okay. For a maui resident who
needs a degree on a budget, or can't leave the
island due to family, it will get you by. For
me its a place to save money and get a
some credits out of the way before moving on, and
its been fine for this purpose so far. You have
to get over the fact that there is no social
life on campus. Dont depend on it. People show up
for class and leave when it's done, there are occasionally
some people inviting you to a game of volleyball or
something like that, but not many people hang around. I
live in upcountry maui, and for me the downtown area
is a living hell, especially in the middle of the
day. I don't think I'd go to this school if
I had to live in the dorms, which apparently have
some parties going on occasionally but just dont seem like
any fun for me. When it comes to teachers, you
just have to ask around. Some teachers are amazingly intelligent
cultured people who have retired on maui and teach there
because they have a passion for it, and others dont
seem fit to be teaching. For instance, my first semester
I took a human biology class taught by a guy
who had his bachelors degree in MARINE BIOLOGY. He worked
weekends on a parasailing boat, and on weekdays he would
attend the lectures given by the real human bio teacher,
take good notes, and then teach it all back to
us in the afternoon. It was the kind of half
ass bullshit you would expect from a community college. On
the other hand, the next semester I took a political
science class taught by an ex politician who had worked
in the white house for 20+ years, and who offered
a wealth of experience and perspective. As far as
the education quality goes, this place is not too bad.
There are plenty of classes that are easy A's, but
if you're the kind of person who has a curious
mind and is willing to push themselves, then you can
get smart just about anywhere.
