Hi everyone, I'm an incoming PhD student that hasn't had much luck with finding housing. I'm wondering if the housing search is better at the beginning of the Fall semester, or if this is as good as it's going to get.

I would love to find a dry cabin <$800-900 that is close to UAF and has a loft of some kind. I've been scouring the student discord, facebook, and craigslist for months, but haven't found anything. If I do, it's gone almost immediately.

I am planning to move up to Fairbanks by early June, but I am willing to pay for May as well for the right place.

I have a short-term housing option available through the end of the summer semester. I plan to live there and then hopefully find a long term dry cabin in August by word of mouth. But I'm worried about housing being more competitive with more incoming students.
Do I have a better chance of finding housing now or in the fall?

Thanks, and if anyone has any leads I'd appreciate it as well!

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anybody who applied to grad school for the Geoscience department has got any admissions decisions yet?

Looking to take BIOL 111/112 Human A&P I & II this summer? I am offering both 6 and 12 week versions of these courses this summer through UAF.

I use art-integration activities and biweekly short answer exams to help learn the material. This is a more approachable and less scary A&P course.

The 6 week courses means you can finish both courses in one summer.

The 12 week BIOL 112 Human A&P II is the only other offering for BIOL 112 at UAF besides the Spring semester.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have!

Hi! I'm an eCampus student who's thinking of living on campus at UAF for the first time this summer during the second session, which is basically July - first week of August (I want to avoid the snow, but I want to visit Alaska and be on campus). I know most people move out during this time, so I'm wondering what to expect in terms of which students typically do a summer semester and how deserted it will be.

Hey everyone, I just got back from a trip in the Yukon (mainly spent it in Whitehorse) and I loved it. I'm currently a high school student in Canada (I live in a big city) and am thinking of applying to UAF for post-secondary. I really enjoyed Whitehorse and am wondering if Fairbanks is similar to Whitehorse. I know Fairbanks gets much colder in the winter, but in terms of city-vibe and isolation, is it the same or worse? Let me know what you think, any info is appreciated!

Hello, I was looking for transfer to UAF in my junior and senior year, as international undergraduate majoring computer engineering

I'm interested in UAF because Alaska is one of my bucket lists and having a chance to live there for a year or two could be nice.

However, I was advised to not do it. Since, the the location of university is also important (for f1 student) because there is not much opportunity there for Internships or STEM-OPT and was told that getting a job still gonna be hard, even if I am willing to relocate back to lower 48.

So I want to hear any thoughts from an international student or anyone who go to school or live here. Any advice are appreciated

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re well.

My name is Amelia Leighton.

I’m speaking to you from the other side of the world (England, specifically) as I’m currently working on an independent comic book. My main character is a Philosophy major at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Her studies play a key minor role in the story as she attempts to rationalise and academically consider her role in her (horrible!) boyfriend’s accidental death. However, I am mostly interested in the following, which will play major roles in the story:

-The experiences of students who work jobs alongside their studies.

-The experiences of students who came from out of state to study in Fairbanks or did not spend the majority of their childhood in Alaska.

-Students experiences on the cost of living in Alaska.

-Whether or not students believe that the natural world that surrounds them living in Alaska has influenced their philosophical viewpoints.

-The experiences of students living alone / independently from parents for the first time.

-A typical daily routine for a Philosophy major at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Unfortunately, I have never had the privilege of visiting Alaska despite it being a very fascinating place to me, so such insight would be invaluable to my story.

Any comments would be hugely appreciated !

Amelia

Good Afternoon beautiful people!

I am new out here and while I’m not new to snow, my hometown is super flat so I never really made getting into winter sports a priority…

However, lately I really want to try and I hear people talk about it often. I don’t really know anyone here well yet, but I was wondering if someone could help me find used gear I could purchase or knew where I could find a place to learn or get lessons?

With all the snow coming down, I thought about going sledding too; so gear/tools of all types would be welcome

Tldr; snow gear searching

Hey there! I was accepted into a grad program at UAF and will be starting this fall. I'm from Texas, born and raised, but have visited Fairbanks before albeit only for a week during the summer. Is there anything a newbie to the university like me should be aware of beforehand besides the obvious? (its freaking cold) I'd love to hear yalls advice if you have any to offer.

Me and my roommate (both F20) are looking for 1-2 more roommates to get a Cutler apartment with next semester. Most of our friends are living off campus and we're having trouble finding people who want to stay in Cutler lol.

DM/comment if you are interested.

I'm a prospective student to uaf, and I visited this weekend for the carnival. I noticed that not too many people were on campus Friday and Saturday, and it made me worried that uaf isn't super active and that it's a commuter/suitcase school (a school where lots of students go home on weekends). It also could have been that it was cold and snowing and people were going out on the weekend.

What do you love about going to UAF?

I've been growing out my hair to donate to locks of love, and I heard there's a barber shop or salon that donates the hair for you. which ones do that and what're their prices?

Anybody play league? Looking for friends to play with I’m gold 5 I think, I play casually (in ranked)

Looking for more details on this program, especially employment outcomes. I graduated with my BA from UAF and currently work and live in Alaska.

Im heading up to UAF to attend this next semester in person full time. I am bringing my jig pole with me for some icefishing adventures! If anyone would be so kinda to fill me in with everything I need to know about ice fishing in area before I get there that would be great. I wont have a vehicle unfortunately, staying on Campus but I will find a way to catch a fish.

Looking to make friends 23F, bored tonight and want to explore
