<p>Could someone give me an overall rating of this university? Was thinking of a science/engineering major.</p>
<p>I was in Alaska this summer. I met a rep. from UAA. I got a brochure of the school. Looks great. Too bad i'm rediculously far from Alaska or else I would strongly consider applying.</p>
<p>Life Sciences and marine biology programs are reportly good.</p>
<p>UAF is a good school along with UAA. Alaskan usually like UAF a little better. If you are not from alaska and from a warmer area I would consider heading to UAA. I know that biological sciences is one of the strongest departments there. Fairbanks is very cold place in the winters. You can get cold spikes that get down to -60. So Fairbanks may be a little to cold. But I must say AK is an awesome state and you will have fun there.</p>
<p>I absolutely LOVED Alaska. Probably would be VERY interesting for college, but too far from home.</p>
<p>omg, UAF is my hometown university! it's pretty mindblowing in the sciences, definitely a good engineering dept..</p>
