Robert Ziegler
from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences
Why did you choose UAF?
Proximity to my home, great campus atmosphere and degree options I needed.
Johnny Bishop
from UAA
Why did you choose UAF?
When I left the UAA campus I had changed my major to a social work degree and I had problems with living in Anchorage so I couldn't continue my degree there.
Stephanie Kiang
from Pasadena City College
Why did you choose UAF?
After realizing that California didn't quite have the types of Linguistics programs I was looking for, I began searching for out-of-state schools that would be better fits for my goals and interests. After sending multiple applications out and receiving several rejections, UAF remained in my top three choices. I came for a campus visit in February 2024 and verbally committed to the Linguistics program at the end of the day because I was impressed by how dedicated the faculty are and knew I would enjoy being at UAF.
Shira Brody
from Santa Barbara City College
Why did you choose UAF?
I chose UAF for the adventure and to try something new! I wanted to meet new people and get out of my comfort zone. UAF has definitely provided me with some unique and awesome experiences like being out in -40 degrees, seeing the northern lights, and events like Starvation Gulch with massive pallet fires!
