12 Best Mph Programs In Honolulu, HI (2022 Updated)

We heard about Chaminade University from a friend and when our daughter was accepted to Manoa and Chaminade, we flew out to tour both colleges. Both were beautiful but we were sold at the sheer “like home” feeling Chaminade offered. Everyone was so friendly and the dorms felt like a smaller scale apartment building. Don’t get me wrong Manoa was GORGEOUS and great, but the common bathrooms shared by each floor was a big concern for us. Chaminade is small enough where the teachers and staff actually know your name and there’s a wonderful support system for their students. Our daughter came from a small private school in LA and we felt leaving the mainland and coming to HI was culture shock enough; so coming to a smaller school offered some familiarity and comfort. She is now in her second semester of her second year and absolutely LOVES it! The island, the school, her 4 Roomate’s, and her new island Ohana have made this her second home, and we feel very safe with her there. I can not say enough wonderful things about this school. From the way they handled the pandemic, to their small classrooms & fun activities- it’s just amazing all around!Jorge Santiago

I loved my time at Chaminade …this was when there was still an off-campus coed dormitory called Hale Pua on King Street and we would ride our bikes to school everyday.. lots of friends.. didn't have a car at the time so we would drive w kimo Ryan and his Jeep Ryan Foo my roommate also had a car …there was Mike from New Jersey who had a motorcycle shipped out , and Jay from Alaska also had his BMW …bodysurfing at Sandy Beach..& surfing north shore …we had lots of fun back in the day this was in the 80s …I'm an old man now but I know Chaminade is still a great place… lots of fun good learning …study hard, play hard ,pray hard keep on surfing, Surf's Up, Hang Ten Aloha!

Went for a meeting on Kalaepohaku Rocks, due to covid and everything were headed towards November/December 2022, St. Louis staff are friendly and personable, like because alumni association makes it possible for any boys to attend Saints. They said in the televise 175th. Anniversary, Whether parents are affluent, middle income or below,every boy that's interested. Allow St. Louis Administration decide what each boy financial aid will be in order for him to attend Red, White & Blue Crusaders Exactly as they said the how upper classmates take cares to the lower classmates as younger brothers.

I've only been going here for a few months, but so far I don't have any complaints. I suck at math, so was very happy to see they have free math tutors in the main library, in a study area! You can sit at a table and work alone (fast and free wifi for students), or ask the math (or english) tutor for help, which is the only thing that enabled me to pass. Beautiful campus, with large jungle trees, birds. I love the library, although they close too early during summer sessions, and are not open on weekends! One thing I don't like, however, is that in many classes, you sign up for the class and pay the tuition, and then the instructor directs you to buy a book (with an authorization code inside) ($190!) which you use to go online (Pearson MathLab), which is where you watch the videos, do the homework, quizzes and exams! If I am paying Pearson to use their website to learn all this, why am I paying the school so much tuition?We're literally paying two different institutions for one math class. Yes, I DO go to math class, but the instructor just goes over the chapter in the book and works out the examples on the board, and is available for questions. I feel this Pearson website should be included in the tuition, because..really now….the instructor isn't really doing anything after class, is she? Like grading homework? It's all online. Finally, this school advertises heavily/recruits in Asian countries, and many non-English speaking students attend the school. I don't have a problem with this, but now, in some of my classes, we have students who speak very, very poor English and can't follow along, (Excel Spreadsheet Class) and are always raising their hands to stop the teacher and have him come over and show them what to do! I don't have a problem with the occasional question regarding a formula, but most of these interruptions are for very simple things, like "How do I open a document?" Me and the rest of the class sit there and twiddle our thumbs, surf facebook or sleep while the whole class comes to a halt to allow the instructor to go to that one station and bring the non-english speaking student up to speed, while the rest of the paying class is sitting there, wasting time. One last thing; avoid the bookstore if you can, and buy or rent them online. Very expensive store, even for simple items! They sell a very cheap Texas Instruments calculator in there (recommended by the math teachers, coincidentally enough), and without even thinking, went over and bought it. They sell it for $20, but used it for about a week, and hated it. I found it very crappy, the buttons wouldn't register when pressed, etc. I was at Target later that week, and noticed they had calculators, and was shocked to see mine hanging there for $7.50! I paid $20 for a calculator Target sells for $7.50? Target had $20 calculators that were amazingly superior to mine, with larger screens, and better functions! What a joke! The other scam they do, is sell "branded" textbooks "specially printed" for Kapiolani College. Which means, they add their own little advertisements to the book! I have a "branded" textbook I bought from them, and every chapter or so there will be an advertisement in there for other classes at the college. Oh, and by the way, because they insert their own pages, guess what? The table of contents is now thrown off. By Chapter 10, when you look up "ROM" for example, the Table of Contents says Page 249. So you go to page 249, and it isn't there. So you start looking back and forth, lo and behold, it is way up on page 260. Thanks, KCC, for making me waste 5 minutes of valuable study time looking for something in a book that I paid $180 for, and in which the table of contents is now useless, because you "branded" the book with advertising inserts! Oh, and good luck selling the book online or to any other school; it says on the cover "Specially printed for KCC!". They do this, basically, to make it harder for you to sell it to a new student.James Dylan

I am a Senior citizen with several Masters Degrees and a world of experience. I can audit classes at KCC, and have taken several undergrad courses in the past two years with various instructors, all highly recommended. You get out of it what you put in, but I never failed to learn a lot in each class I took. The facilities are very good, and the cafeteria is quite good. The Ka'ikena Restaurant has a great view and a learning atmosphere, so we try to get reservations there at least once each semester. A plus is that we don't have to pay for parking and several city buses stop right at the college The teachers are student-centered which must make them crazy sometimes, because a lot of students don't have time to do any studying, or don't buy or read the course resources. This semester I am trying a service learning project. It's a lot of work but I look forward to the experience it provides to learn more about our own community.Frances Chaine

It's an absolutely great school wonderful people awesome View the food is excellent the teachers are fantastic the students are the best-looking students I've ever seen in my life anywhere it could all be supermodels most of the teachers are supermodels every classroom has a Jacuzzi one of the largest cannabis distributors she's right there some of the best waves I've ever served at the end or wave machine. Classes are 24 hours a day so they coincide with the casinos. Victoria's Secret training camp is located right next door. Pablo Escobar's nephew teaches a business class hi. Bela Lugosi is giving a lecture this October 31st. Those six Jamaicans from Cool Running can be seen periodically walking around the facility. If three McDonald's on the compound one of them serves exclusively milkshakes. You have to go upstairs to get into the basement. You can see the world's most interesting man parallel parking trains.Jonny Dakota

This message is for the Federation(FOP). Please stop the BIG SCAM IN THIS UNIVERSITY. Parking for student it's a scam in everyway. Customer Service is very poor. Specially when you call by phone.There's a lot of bad but very bad smell in this University. You can get sick by the time you graduate. This University is very expensive but the quality is very low and poor. This is very embarrassing, disrespectful and unfairness for student. IN OTHER WORDS THIS UNIVERSITY STICK in every meanings and way. Student should get together for strikes and claim your rights as citizens and students. This University are a big scaming for people and the worst thing nobody do nothing about it and it's getting worse. This University depent of students money or income to keep operating. If there no student enrollment. There won't be job, paycheck for HORRIBLE ADMINISTRATION. FIGHT FOR YOU RIGHT STUDENTS THEY DEPENT ON YOU. YOU ARE POWERFUL.SG Universes

Graduated here, since then they have stuffed up numerous transcript orders and diploma replacements. They sent me someone else's diploma and refuse to refund or send me a new one, they say I need to pay for a new one!! This is after not being able to order one for 3 months because they were "looking for a new vendor". My transcripts have been sent to random people in other states who were kind enough to forward them to me, but what the heck?! What a joke of an institution.dean cobler

Very nice campus. However, most of the uh help, wearing the pink shirts are constantly driving at excessive speeds, ilegaly parking while blocking narrow sketchy exits (ie. Music ctr.). While waiting to pick up my children, I've noticed at least 7 different cars, on various occasions, driven by the very same uh helpers(pink tshirts), speeding in the parking lot, disregarding all rules, in a disrespectful and ignorant manner.D S

If you like having your financial aid cancelled the week before classes start, having acadamic advisors who have no clue what they're talking about, and being stranded in student housing with no adequate meal plan, this is probably the school for you. If you like weekly mental breakdowns, constantly asking yourself whether or not HPU is really an accredited university, and being lied to about the status of the accreditation, this is definitely the place for you. HPU is having issues with accreditation, but rather than being honest with students, they sent out an email saying that they are a "bachelor's general" and "master's general school." What does that even mean? I read their accreditation report and WASC didn't say anything about this. Also, the staff has messed up my transcript so many times. I was a day into my last semester when I received an email, well after I was told I could definitely graduate, saying that I was two credits short. Okay, fair enough, but then I expect to use my loans to pay for the $2300 class. Nope. HPU wouldn't let me. They also cut financial aid for textbooks before classes even start. And let's not forget about the time my on-campus loft flooded and the student life staff told me to clean up what was basically a swamp with towels. No one I know likes this school. My advice? Run. As fast as you can. And don't look back. Don't even apply. You're signing up for the most stressful time of your life. The only good part of this school is the English department (I was an English major). The instructors in that department actually care about students and their success, but outside of those few people? No one wants to help. I like to think the nightmare is finally over, but my diploma hasn't arrived yet, so who knows.Marian Gentile

My experience was better at HPU in comparison to the 2 other universities I have attended– one of which is on Oahu and the other in California. HPU is also ranked fairly good in the regional "Best Western Universities" in the US. Some students may have had bad experience(s) at the school but I think it happens to every school. HPU may not have the best facilities but overall it is a very good university.Aldemar Aglanao

The university loves to cancel financial aid the day classes start without warning to students. They have talked mentally injured students (like a concussion from surfing) into staying in classes when they should have been sent home to recover & removed from classes. In short, the university cares about money, and not you.Mr Kaiser

It was a great experience when I attended many years ago — at the time, they were using the Leeward classrooms! I was able to earn two degrees from this campus! They were just beginning to offer classes, and we had to have gotten our lower division classes at other campuses! I am glad to learn that they have became a full four-year university!Bill Fong

Awesome school if you are interested in business! Tuition if you are an out of state individual and signed the Western undergrad exchange pact would be around 6000 a semester!Kyle Nadres

Great school. Undergraduate studies. School of Dentistry and soon School of Nursing. Amazing Computer Science/phone app (gaming) department.Pastor Hugh Dusza

Like many others I value my education and take pride in becoming a first generation college graduate in my family. I wanted to study Psychology at the doctoral level and so when I was accepted into a competitors program, I was jumping for the moon. I completed all of my courses and sailed through my residencies ( 3 in total), and then they lost their accreditation and recommended that we ( the students) complete our studies elsewhere. This is when I stepped back and took a very hard look at what schools are offering. I sat out for over 8 years and actually became quite discouraged. Then I found AIU, I have to tell you first what attracted me to the school, not just the price but the curriculum is owned by you the student. You design what you need to graduate and move forward with your life. I started this month and I am already in phase 2 of 4, and headed to the construction of my thesis. AIU understands that you should have guidance with your course of study, but that ultimately, you are in control of what you want to learn and study. There is no repeat of what I have already learned and went into debt for. THIS IS A REAL SCHOOL. I immediately qualified for a scholarship reducing my overall tuition by 4k. It was automatically applied, the total amount for my PhD in Psychology is only $6900.00. They work with you to help you afford your monthly payment, this is NOT a scam or a diploma mill, you have to do to the work, but they are there to help you do it. My tutor is Kinmberly and she is awesome, knowledgeable, attentive and accessible. I was skeptical like anyone else would be, a Phd for under 100k.??? Yea right… but you know what this school is a legitimate higher learning institute. I cannot believe how incredible everyone has been , from admissions to class tutoring to school resources, and get this the online library is no different than USC, UCLA, OSU and the list goes on. Believe me, I have been at this thing for awhile, I tried traditional schools and got burned, I earned my law degree ten years ago and now I am going to lecture and publish in the general field of Psychology and none of this would be possible without AIU. Even though you work at your own pace, you are not alone. This is real, and its really happening for my family and I. I am so grateful that AIU gave me credit for my classes that I took at the traditional school, it shaved over a year off of my studies. They even offer free courses to the public with no obligation . Do yourself a favor, go to the website and see for yourself, I am a real student at AIU, and this is a real review, and I am so happy that AIU is here for students who want to learn without all of the red tape and confusion. Its an education that you can utilize to help mankind and I am so happy that they are here to teach their students how to do that. I am on my way, and you should be too. Thanks for reading this, I know its long, but I wanted to be thorough! Thank you AIU for helping me help my family and the community. #AIUmakeslearningeasyandaffordable #Imonmyway #ThankyouAIUChristine Richardson

I am currently a PhD student in this university. I study organizational behaviour. The university's self learning program is one of most dynamic learning opportunities that can help students develop skills and abilities to improve on their area of competencies. I have earned a bachelor and a masters from a conventional or traditional university in my country Nigeria, so I know the difference. I have had to interact with the tutors at AIU and found that what is going at AIU is not a fluke. The online programs and phases are difficult but a dedicated and hard working student will be able to overcome. The fees are student friendly such that any student will be able e to meet the terms. The academic programmes are also of international standard. Although in Nigeria online degrees are not accepted for jobs but I have found a substantial number of Nigerians employed after taking their degrees from AIU. Your choice is a matter of personal decision. I came to know about AIU through the Facebook platform and when contacted the school was quite impressed how they immediately helped me to enrol. I have done some presentations and I fill fulfilled that the Doctorate program is worth doing.Godwin Akoh

This is what I want to know. Why AIU has not registered as an ACCREDITED UNIVERSITY by the University Grant Commission in USA. in another word, Why , NOT GIVEN accreditation for Atlantic International University AIU since 1998. When there is NO accreditation for a approved university in the world, there is a BIG problem? When we faced for an interviews, authorities first see the World University Calendar and the Accredited Universities list. When there is Not papering the particular name of the UNIVERSITY , no further discussions or proceeding's on the interview. Solve this problem. Give me a clear answer. Please give me a professional reply. Until I am in little bit suspicion. Please SOLVE the Problem?Hemasiri Kuruppu

The National Weather Service (NWS) is an agency of the federal government of the United States that is responsible for providing weather forecasts, warnings of hazardous weather, and other weather-related products to organizations and the general public for the purposes of protection, safety, and general information. The NWS was established in 1970. Its headquarters are located in Silver Spring, Maryland, which is within the greater metropolitan area of Washington, and it is a component of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is a division of the Department of Commerce.From the year 1890 until 1970, when it changed to its current name, the organization was formerly known as the United States Weather Bureau.Melvin Dizon

I’m a net control ham operator for the NWS Skywarn Program during bad weather and hurricanes. Great staff and very helpful when you have weather related questions. I encourage everyone, any age, to go through the free Skywarn Weather Spotter program to get certified in order to help protect your community. 5/5Todd WH6DWF

I don't know how you review the National Weather Service – uh, the service is good? I'm a ham, & we meet here once a year for training and to tour the facilities. It's a nice place to visit, but I hope I don't have to spend a lot of time here because that means we have a potential for disastrous weather.Phil Stripling

Had multiple bad experience in this clinic. The doctors, such as Dr, Wittin, Dr. Velasco, and Dr, Truman were great, no problems with them. Would give them 5 stars and I hope they’re doing well wherever they are now. The staff here are terrible. Never answers the phone, made an appointment for a specific date, they called me reminding me of my appointment which was on a different day. I told them I am not able to make it on that day because that isn’t the day I made an appointment for and they said that its what they have on file. On another day, went to the 1st floor to check in and there was literally no one at the front desk and there were a lot of us waiting and our appointment was at 1 and it was 1:20, I had to call Kkv to let them know that no one is downstairs and everyone is waiting. Called multiple times to make an appointment for my son and they didn’t answer. I left a voicemail with my name, number and reason for calling, multiple times. Haven’t had a call back. Called 2/3 times a week for a month. Stopped trying after. WIC Called me for my monthly interview and they asked something with my kid and i told them that I am not able to get in touch with that department, they said they would call them and reach back to me. Nothing, Called awhile after, no one answered. Now onto the gynecologist section. My first pregnancy, I had Dr. Nishi, which is the head of that department. My appointment would be at like 9am and I would wait 1-2 hours till he sees me. So what is the point of my appointment time?? This happened to me multiple times. It is a constant thing, waiting for 1-2 hrs to see him. He was also very harsh at measuring my stomach with the measure tape. I would see the mark where he pushed down on my stomach with the tape. I did my usual pee in the beginning and at the end of my appointment I was walking back to my car which was very far and I was at 8 and a half months. Mid way of my car, they called me back to take another pee test because they forgot to take a test with the other one, I told them I didn’t have to pee anymore. Very frustrating with this clinic. Need to hire legit staff and not just anyone that applies. I seen an posting on indeed that they were looking for Medical Assistance, no certification required and no experience needed. When I seen that It is explained so much. If this is your only resort to medical then go for it, but if not please choose some place else. Such a Terrible place.Arlang Magsalay

I tested positive for COVID-19 on the 5th of August. My mom went to Kokua Kalihi Valley to be tested as well. She tested positive as well. People from Kokua Kalihi Valley, a non-profit organization, brought her bags of food and items she will need while under quarantine. My mother is so grateful. This clinic has also been a Godsend for my 80 year old parent in laws as well as my brother in law and niece. I am so grateful for their kindness and support. A non-profit can be a thankless job and more difficult to get funds for. Once again, we are grateful and wish you well, Kokua Kalihi Valley.Sommer Castor

Does it hurt to answer the phone ? I’ve been calling since yesterday NOBODY answers but the google shows me they aren’t busy I’m calling now & still no answer I’m trynna call to set an appointment but I don’t wanna go there until it’s confirmed yenno cause there’s coronavirus now days but I guess they don’t pick up their frickn phonesLavinia Latu

The best job I ever had. JABSOM COMMUNICATIONS. The med students, faculty, staff, and admin are positive and forward thinking. I thrive in this environment.Paula Bender

They offer some really good non credit classes in Social Media but their customer service (website, phone, & in person) has a lot to be desired after the headache I had last time trying to register for a class. If my experience is better the next time I register I will definitely update this but until then.Michael Ching
