Student Reviews and Ratings for University of Alaska Fairbanks
Overall Rating:
Really awesome place love meeting new people and everyone here is really nice
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Some of these bad reviews were written by people with no comprehension of facts or reality, or an axe to grind, or who have obviously never set foot on the campus.Is it for everybody? No. But that’s what makes it great. The best university in Alaska by a long shot.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Horrible school. Don't waste your time if you want to feel like you are getting your money's worth out of your education. My last two courses I essentially had to teach myself even though I paid 3K. I will NEVER attend another class through UAF and others would be wise to steer clear of this, so called, "university". They just want to take your money and give you a sub-par education.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Great campus. Has a lot of cool trails behind the dorms. The woods center has some pretty good food to.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Good for the right programs, I guess. If engineering or the natural sciences are your jam, you might try this university, because that's where the money and attention are going. Excellent French program and some good art courses, but some of the programs feel weak or neglected, and overall the classes are extremely hit or miss. I've taken some truly underwhelming courses here and am looking forward to finishing my degree (not in engineering or natural sciences) someplace else. All that said, it's generally a friendly campus that attracts an interesting mix of people. While many of the older buildings are ugly, the campus itself can be really pretty, and the shuttle between the parking lots, upper campus, and lower campus is a welcome support in the cold dark of winter.
