El College comunitario de Hostos (Hostos Community College)
Primero, mantengo el anglicismo de "College" porque no hay traducción directa a la figura de "college" en la mayoría de Latino America, y denominarlo "universidad" como muchas localizaciones hacen es simplemente desinformación, he conocido personas que creen que el College es la universidad.
Segundo, me parece mejor forma dar una traducción semi-literal para que una persona normal pueda entender, y luego dar el nombre propio en ingles para dar fácil entendimiento del origen del nombre.
