Great campus but parking sucks. We share with saint louis and only have limited parking stalls. They need to build a new structure for just chaminade students.

I love Chaminade Nursing which has gained so much reputation in the community.

This campus is beautiful, peaceful, and not too big. I like the simplicity of it. The environment really made me feel at home. I feel like I could stay there forever. Lots of positive energy and the everyone there contributed to the positive atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend :)
Overall 4.5
The nice thing about Chaminade is the personal attention for each student. The overall goal is to support the student, and professors (not TAs) teach the courses. This is a school which makes courses available and graduating on time possible. I love this school!

Cons: #1 The internet in Henry Hall #2 Walking up and down the hill (although it did keep me from gaining any weight) Pros: #1 Everything else! I feel 100% safe and everyone is so nice. Great community feeling! #2 Scholarships! Even though it is super expensive, they do try to help you out as much as possible.

Great school. Always had a nice little workout walking up the hills. Has a good amount of amazing professors from a BU/CIS standpoint. Everyone on campus is usually super friendly. Small and straight to the point campus.

This school is awesome, as I graduated from here on May 2024. This university serves a safe and vibrant vibe, as the people are welcoming and so are the professors. Faculty staff members and professors, care about you and are always there for you. A great sense of Ohana, and a sense you belong there.

If you have a problem keep it to yourself, all this University cares about is money. Go somewhere else.

Not a school to attend for an excellent education but for those who cannot get into a better school, it's a chance. I entered for a semester in Hawaii and was glad to get back to a better school to finish out my studies. Hawaii nice. The school, blah, if you seek high level education.

I don't know what is going on with this school. Even more so, they keep raising the costs of everything, offer little to nothing to students. I have no idea where the money is going because everything is done incredibly cheaply and poorly. Even the internet. I won't go into detail because of character count but I literally mean everything.

Have a problem? Well, keep it to yourself. The staff will not help you here. I would never send my children here someday. Not only is the campus a bad layout but the dorms are hot and need a lot of renovating. I also know a lot of people who got food poisoning because of how bad the food is. The wifi and computers are awful. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Not the best school unless you're a science major.

It's like high school all over again! The math department is a joke, but the professors are somewhat helpful. It's pretty boring here and I've tried to make the most fun out of it since I've been here with little success.
