Since Hawaii has limited options for medium- and large-sized schools, Maui College at the University of Hawaii is one of the small schools included on our list. The net price of tuition at Maui College is lower than average, but the median salary is six years after graduation. While the average student loan debt of $19,864 over four years is lower than some of the other schools on this list, the loan default rate is 23% — more than twice the national average. On top of that, the graduation rate is only 16%. “The university is a pay-for-what-you-get school,” writes a Maui College graduate. “The campus needs updates. The career options are limited.”
