University of Hawaiʻi Maui College — Attraction in Maui

What a joke. Evelina "Eva Bondar" was my admissions contact at the college and she is the most unprofessional "professional" I have ever had the displeasure of working with. She wasted two months of my time as I was trying to get enrolled and the hold up was on her end...she simply failed to do the proper paperwork.
