University of Alaska Fairbanks or Anchorage?

Question

I am considering tranfering to an Alaskan University, I don't know whether University of Alaska-Fairbanks or University of Alaska-Anchorage. I am a Biology major, I just want to know what it is it like to study in one of those universities, or if you have any comments or personal experiences that you may want to share. All the information that you can give me it will be greatly appreciated, and please just dont copy paste the information from the universities website. Please explain why is it good or bad. Or should I consider other schools... Thank you

Answer 1

I can answer this question as I am currently a bio major at UAF. As with any important decision I will list the pros and cons of studying at UAF.

Pros: hands-on professors, ample research opportunity, ability to get personal attention at multiple times (outside office hours), great biological diversity of Fairbanks, is the state's premeir university with regards to biological sciences, lots of flexibility with regards to individual circumstances

Cons: Much of staff is determined to teach you their area- no matter how irrelevant to your interest (or the course), Temperature frequently dips into -40F, you're often indoors the entire day, many people live in cabins w/o water and don't bathe.

Hope this helps to influence your decision.

Answer 2

Anchorage often is the most like Seattle. besides the actual undeniable truth that maximum of Alaska is exceptionally a lot void of civilization, Anchorage is a exceptionally vast and present day city. What you opt for, basically you may confirm.
