I love the hands-on experience of learning. The professors are accommodating and friendly and excellent at teaching. The student life is fantastic, and I always feel included. There are weekly events held on campus that help connect students with other students. Overall, I have had a pleasant experience at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and I highly recommend attending here.
There wasn't really anything that I can say that I didn't like.
The UAF rifle team, professors, employees, small campus, location.
Sometimes it is too cold, and dark. Not many people are interested in athletics.
For the most part, the professors do well at helping you succeed in your classes.
It is a small school so there's a nice sense of community. The music department is extremely active, with at least 1 performance every week.
It is Alaska, so there is a fair amount of snow and ice that takes a little bit too long to be removed.
UAF has offered me so many amazing opportunities through both my coursework and campus events/outreach. My Professors have all been available for one on one meetings and go above and beyond to enrich my knowledge which is rare to find at a larger university.
So far nothing stands out to me that I haven't liked!
