It's in Alaska....can't get more unique than that.

It is located in Alaska, what more can I say? You are in a bowl, surrounded by beautiful mountains on one side, and an icy inlet on the other. I guess it is mostly the scenery and culture that makes UAA captivating.

Well I didn't really consder any other schools because UAA is the only school in Alaska that offers the Dental Hygiene program. I believe what makes UAA unique is the diversity of the students from all over Alaska and many other places.

Sarah

There is a great relationship between professors and students and the student /teacher ratio is very low.

Kristen

The outdoor campus is located near the base of the mountains. There is beautiful scenery year-round and moose are frequent visitors during the fall and winter seasons. The school is located directly across the street from the main hospital in Anchorage, which provides excellent access during nursing internships. The campus layout is very open and is spread over several blocks. It reminds me of my high school and is very refreshing to me, as I do not enjoy being cooped up inside all day, every day. Overall, this school was the perfect choice for me.

When reviewing the graduation satistics and drop our rate, my college report card shows outstanding students and caring professors and attentive team members. Professors are well versed in the culture of Alaska, sensative to the weather and understanding to the geographical layout of the area. Web based instructors understand the internet students and are observant to blizzard conditions in one village and the poor quality of band with, yet are also observant to students in other cities with good weather and are able to carry on the class. We have talented professors who teld to all diverse nationalities and needs.

This school is diffrent from the other schools that I considered because of its proximity to state parks and secluded outdoors. Alaska is realy the last frontier. In just ten minuets are student can drive into any one of our states numerous parks, hiking trails, or forests.

It is in the North and includes studies and education of Alaska Native peopels. Alaska is not the easiest environment to live in but the university tries it's best to incorporate diversity and pride for its uniqueness and remoteness. To live in the North takes a special person. To go to University in the North takes a special student.

The University of Alaska Anchorage is a growing campus with a diverse bunch of Students and Professors of wide ranged ethnicities and personalities. What is so neat about this school, compared to others, is the location. Apart from being in Anchorage, a city also growing in size, surrounded by mountains and the glistening sea, it's a short drive or trip to escape the pressures of an urban lifestyle. You can camp on the weekends, find places no one will ever find you at, and discover things about yourself you never thought capable! Here, college isn't all about schoolwork.
