Being an old student of the university I have not seen so many changes with it. The student…read moreorganizations are much better than before. Coming from what I would consider "spirit" base school, this is not it. I understand that their is not a football team and other summer base sports there are many other things that will get your students excited about their campus. For considerations you could bring up some of the "real" fratrunities & sororities, a "real" dance line, cheerleaders, etc. This things are essential to a great spirit squad. Another thing that could be changed about campus is the campus food. Everyday should not be the same thing besides salad and salad should not be the only thing that people say is the best in the whole cafeteria! Other than these things I believe it's a great school. Could use some more programs and all aspects but we don't always get what we asked for.

We had no trouble finding parking and were thrilled to watch a cross-country skiing competition--specifically skate skiing. The women's final was absolutely spectacular! Later in the evening, we returned in hopes of catching the aurora, but unfortunately, we didn't have any luck. We later learned that an incredible display lit up the sky about 30 minutes after we left--just our luck! UAF is a fantastic spot for winter sports, breathtaking scenery, and maybe even an unforgettable northern lights experience (if you time it right!). It's probably a great school, too.

This amazing university has an outdoor sledding hill next to the student recreation center and it's…read moreopen to the public! You just need to bring something to sled. Since we are two travelers, we didn't have any tubes except two cardboard and it worked out well haha. It was a lot of fun. A friendly local family lent us two of their tubes. That melts our hearts. Forgot to mention there is an outdoor ice skating court to play hockey or just ice skating. You can rent the ice skating shoes in the student recreation center for $3 for the whole day!!!! It might run out of size so make sure to call to ask about your size or come early. There is also an outdoor rock climbing area. It's currently closed. You might need to call the student center to ask about it. The front desk person was super friendly. The parking lot is big. For visitors parking in front of the student recreation center should be safe.
