Megan

I believe that everyone should attend school to better their education and broaden their capablities for their future. While this is what I believe, if a person is not motivated and determined then the University of Alaska Anchorage is not for them. The college life for young students is not as readily available as other universities. The University of Alaska Anchorage has an older community geared towards their motivation to excel and pursue their education. With this being the case, there are less opportunities to enjoy the young college lifestyle.

Close minded individuals who are set in their ways and have no desire or room in their lives to learn or consider ideas and concepts which may have never occurred to them in the past should not attend this school.

AnnaGrace

A last minute person who rushes to get things done should not attend this school because late work givin a lower grade. Someone who has trouble managing their time should not attend this school. Students who sleep in class would also be a bad choice for this school.

Rebecca

A person shouldn't attend the University of Alaska Anchorage if they are averse to cold weather. The weather can get pretty harsh sometimes and it can be a long walk to your next class. If you are a person that needs family close by, then this school may not be a good choice for you as well. It can feel very isolating from the rest of the States. With the darkness, the cold, and the distance away from other states, one can feel very lonely. Other than that, UAA is a great school with much to teach.

Ashley

I personally cannot think of any person who wouldn't be interested in attending UAA. People commute from other areas of Alaska to attend the school; however, Alaska itself is not a warm state, thus those who prefer warmer climates would probably not enjoy UAA. due to the long, dark winters.

Wendy

A student with enough money to attend the school of their choice with out regard to cost, and for whom the name of an ivy league university on their diploma would be an advantage.

Patricia

If you are the type of person who does not study and parties constantly, then it will be difficult for you. The teachers expect you to put in the time and effort to do work for their class. If you work full time and want to go to school, then only go part time and don't run yourself down by not getting homework done. Teachers at UAA consider classes as another job and you are there to complete your job and put 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} into everything for that class.

Quoc

Generally, people who lack a passion for education have no business seeking a college degree. It not only waste the time of the individual, but the time of the staff involved. Higher level learning is too expensive to go to just because "everyone does it" or "I can't get a good job with out college", because that sort of mentality will lead to failuar and wasted money. Anyone who desires to learn and to become better will enjoy any school willing to teach.

Danielle

College is achieveable, but if you dont have motivation, determination and a good work ethic it usually doesn't work out. Anyone in my opinion can do college, no matter the situatiuon. We are all human we get upset, depress about low grades but you have to stay positive and push yourself through thoses hard times. So I believe anyone can attend college but a person needs to possess those characteristics to achieve college successfully.

Lillian

There is no certain type of person that should attend this school. This school is good for all who have a drive to better themselves, and get an education.

Meneka

A person who wants a strong sense of community, and a smaller school. It takes some work to find a place to fit in because there are so many students from many different backgrounds, and there isn't a common purpose to draw students together.

Sara

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is the kind who expect to get good grades without the effort, judges others based on thier appearance/lifestyle, has a tendancy towards close mindedness, ignorance, or jumps to conclusions.

Malaika

None, This school is accepting of anyone, however if you don't like the cold I wouldn't come to Alaska.

Jonathan

this school is for everyone.

Courtnie

Person(s) who should not attend this school are those who do not like cold weather, short days with minimal sunlight. Also, a person has the wrong perspective upon entering the university that it is perceived that the course load is easy because its only Alaska, should not attend. The campus is very diverse and faculty is always eager to assist.

Brian

People who are used to active social lives.
