What is the best college in Oahu, Hawaii?

Answer 1

I don't think that there are any. The University of Hawaii-West Oahu is in Pearl City.

Even Yahoo doesn;t have anything listed

Answer 2

Hello!

The best college for you depends on a number of factors, including the major you are considering (because certain schools may be higher ranked than others overall, but may be weak in your particular major), the amount of financial aid you can obtain (if budget is a consideration for you), your preferences for large campuses versus small campuses, and your desire to attend a four-year college versus a two-year community college or trade school. All of these factors are important to take into consideration before making your final decision.

First of all, though, I'll list some links that you can visit for detailed information. 4-yr universities:

University of Hawaii at Manoa (public) - http://manoa.hawaii.edu/
Hawaii Pacific University (private) - http://www.hpu.edu/
Chaminade University (private, Catholic) - http://www.chaminade.edu/
Brigham Young University (private, Mormon) - http://www.byuh.edu/index.jsp

Community colleges:

Honolulu Community College - http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/future/index.html
Kapi'olani Community College - http://www.kcc.hawaii.edu/page/Home
Leeward Community College - http://www.lcc.hawaii.edu/
TransPacific Hawaii College - http://www.transpacific.org/
Windward Community College - http://www.wcc.hawaii.edu/

Between the 4-yr universities, I'd have to say that UH Manoa is the best. They're not too expensive for local students, have a large campus that's very diverse, a good social life on campus, many housing options, good opportunities to network, and a wide choice of majors. Scholarships are also very generous - the Regent's scholarship includes full tuition plus a stipend.

As for community colleges, I've heard that KCC was good. Haven't heard much about the others, as I don't know anyone who's attended a community college other than KCC.
