Kauai Community College

The good:
— friendly and dedicated faculty who focus on teaching and preparing students
— picturesque campus with Chinese gazebo
— hub of community activity and not far from really anything on island
— free parking… and lots of it given the size of the school
— affordable way for students to get a college education without breaking the bank or leaving Kauai
The bad (not really bad but something to think about):
— because of it’s size and the community it serves, the choices at KCC are limited and the facilities are on par with most high schools. What the faculty are able to do with those facilities is amazing. But if a student is looking for the widest range of choices as far as classes/​degree fields they are going to have to go off island.
The ugly:
— none that I can think of

Picturesque campus with a Chinese gazebo built with a generous donation by The Republic of China. I was actually just driving by and decided to go over to the gazebo to eat my lunch. It gave me a moment to consider the monument in honor of all the Chinese immigrants to Hawaii. From my spot I was able to look across the valley to the mountains and see the waterfalls in the distance. This little gazebo would be a good spot for many kinds of ceremonies. The view is incredible.
