2021 Best Affordable Colleges in Hawaii for Students from Norway

It's not easy to decide which college to attend when there are so many options available for international students. College Factual was founded, in part, to help students make the decision as to what would be the best school for them. Our Best Value Colleges for Norwegian Students in Hawaii ranking is part of that endeavor.

We analyzed 2 colleges and universities across Hawaii to determine which were the best for Norwegian students in Hawaii. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall value and the total number of international students at the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another.

One Size Does Not Fit All

We know that one set of rankings doesn't always help you determine the best school for you, so we've created the ability to narrow your list by location as well as alternative rankings that prioritize different factors such as those of importance to online students or returning adults or those who value diversity and overall quality.

You can create your own custom comparison that focuses on the factors most important to you using our tool, College Combat. Test it out by comparing your favorite schools against others you are considering, or bookmark the tool so you can experiment with it later.
