THE VIEWS EXPRESSED HERE ...
ARE THE STUDENTS’OWN. Student ambassadors like Serena and Aaron are real students with real opinions and honest answers about what it’s like to be a Nanook, in class and away from the books. They’ll tell you what you want to know. www.uaf.edu/ambassadors/ “Professional student organizations have helped me develop a connection between fellow students and professionals in my industry while tying my studies to real-life applications.” - Serena McCormick, petroleum engineering major
“At UAF there are people from EVERYWHERE. I’ve met people from in state, out of state, out of the country and everywhere in between. There are people from villages with only 60 people and others that come from cities like New York and Chicago.” - Aaron Druyvestein, justice major
UAF WAS NAMED A TOP 25 COLLEGE BY OUTSIDE MAGAZINE.

UAF’S STUDENT UNION, AND WHERE THE ACTION HAPPENS Our student union just got bigger and better, literally. With our brand-new facility, grab a coffee, meet your friends, find out what’s going on. This is where student life starts. Bonfires, concerts, mud volleyball — Nanook Traditions just might become some of your best memories.
Fact is, it’s easier to live on campus. We are a residential campus. First-time freshmen live on the EDGE (Education, Development, Growth and Experience), with programs to help make the transition from high school to independent living. There are also dorms and apartments, and housing for families. www.uaf.edu/reslife/
