What impressed you positively?

everyone there was warm and friendly; it's Hawaii

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how it's impossible to get around without a car

What are your general comments?

the curriculum is purely pbl, which may not be suitable to everyone's personal learning style; the people are very cool and welcoming, just as you'd expect in hawaii; school's reputation is so-so
