Best Universities in Alaska?

Hoping rogertheshrubber sees this, but if anyone else has info, my son who loves hunting, fishing, kayaking, camping, and his Jeep is thinking of going to Alaska for college. Moving him from Louisiana to Oregon wasn't extreme enough, apparently. Could someone sum up the differences between University of Alaska Anchorage and Fairbanks? He's interested in agriculture, engineering, or some kind of life science. Maybe. Only thing he knows for sure at this point is that if he has to wear a tie to work he'll probably hang himself with it...

Tell him to learn a trade

Alaska Fairbanks is a good hockey school. Does he like hockey?

You've certainly come to the right place

Fairbanks is pretty shitty due to location. Both are about the same. Anchorage has more to do around it. Awesome place.

I went to UAF (Fairbanks) for a year before transferring to LSU. UAF is a great science/engineering school.

Alaska Pacific U & Sheldon Jackson College offers a lot. Avoid Prince William Sound College.

Maybe he should look into Montana State in Bozeman. One of the top areas in the country (if not the world) for someone who wants a career in the outdoors.

Sounds like he is just living off of momma and daddy.

If this video doesn't sell your boy on becoming an Alaska (don't say Fairbanks) Nanook, you're on your own

He needs to be a hard rock geologist and go to school in Alaska. He'll get a good hard rock geo degree, will be employeed for his life, and will make a decent living.

UA Fairbanks is the main campus, but UA Sitka is much more beautiful.

I haven't heard any good things about Alaska-Fairbanks. I have two close friends who work there at the moment, and they despise it.
Anchorage on the other hand is a great city.

FWIW, The U of Alaska system is experiencing a similar budget crisis as Louisiana, but even worse. I would be wary of going there without strong assurances my degree program would not be on the chopping block. Alaska Pacific University is a private school in Anchorage he might check out.
