McCain's VP pick attended Hawaii Pacific College

Associated Press

HONOLULU — Republican presidential candidate John McCain's pick for a running mate briefly attended college in Hawaii.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College — now known as Hawaii Pacific University — as a freshman in the Business Administration program in 1982.

But she only stayed one semester.

Palin transferred to North Idaho College for the 1983-1984 school year and eventually graduated from the University of Idaho in 1987.

The Alaska governor was born in the small northern Idaho city of Sandpoint in 1964.
