What Students Are Saying

3.21 Average Rating
University of Alaska Anchorage is a big college for me. I love the fact where all UAA students work well together, they are always positive, and friendly. The professors always know what they are doing, when there is no class they will make sure that you know there is no class, and the professors are great at lecture and try not to make it boring at all.
Melanie from Anchorage, AK
I would rate the University of Alaska Anchorage overall as a 7 out of 10. The campus provides a friendly environment where everybody is supportive of their fellow students. Certain programs are better than others but no matter what program you are in, you will find helpful resources wherever you turn.
