If youre a working adult and want to take classes then have a look at night classes at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). If youre out of high school and plan to live with friends or your parents then you cant beat the convenience of a local campus. Online classes arent for everyone, so consider UAA for the traditional higher education experience.I wish the University Center was located on main campus, but space is an issue around UAA. Checkout the new buildings on campus and some of the upgrades to the older buildings. During the summer this campus looks beautiful with all the flowers. Sadly finding food on campus is nearly impossible, so bring your lunch and relax at one of the many picnic tables.If this review was helpful please click the Like button.

A mix of blatent lies on covid policies, lack of transparency on all financial aspects, and complete inability to contact ANYONE. Its no wonder only 25% of people graduate.

The Chancellor and President have chosen politics over students and education. In the state least affected by the actual disease Covid 19, they made 100% sure students’ lives and education would be ruined by using it as an excuse. Not once did they ask for student feedback during this pandemic. They have just made terrible decision after terrible decision and then whine about budget cuts and declining enrollment like its not their fault it’s happening. If you actually offered and prioritized an education like students pay for and like you’re supposed to do, maybe students wouldn’t runaway in masses and the governor wouldn’t slash your budget. Before I got here I thought the governor was terrible for cutting the budget. Now it’s clear the university has brought this on themselves and absolutely deserve to be decimated financially. They don’t care about students or their education. I’m an A student here and I’m looking for every avenue possible to leave the school and find a place that will help me achieve my goals instead of impede me at nearly every turn. Board of Regents, chancellor, and president all need to be fired. They’re sad excuses for leaders.

The campus is very diverse. You will meet people from all over Alaska and all-over the world. If you are a freshman I would suggest staying in the dorms because you need support, stability and help finding your way around campus. DONT BE SHY TO ASK QUESTIONS. Faculty staff are all helpful.

Wish it was more of an actual University instead of a community college like feel. Kind of getting more expensive when it probably doesn’t need to. Overall it’s ok but definitely if you can go somewhere else you should.

Great school. Instructors are well educated and friendly. Theres almost always something to do. Classes are pretty difficult, not much mercy from most instructors. Good school to attend for almost any major.

I think its funny how everyone is complaining about how this college nickels and dimes you. $40k a year is NOTHING compared to the other universities I looked into. In the lower 48, $40k might get you one semester if youre lucky.

I had taken a few good classes from here. I have to give it bad marks for its location. Additionally, the parking is the worst of any college campus I have seen out of the many college campuses Ive been to regardless of whether the college was located in the city, suburbs or country. You get 2 stars.

A really small facility with nothing much to offer compared to other universities in the lower 48. If Alaska really doesnt want its young citizens to move away because of education, then this university needs to provide more. More in sports and most importantly more in education.

Im going through the UAA representative on base to get a math class started. After registering for it I am told that I need a degree plan for me to be able to take the class. So this being my first time ever taking a physical college class I believe that Im not fully enrolled in this class just projected to join. I later decide that I dont want to go through UAA since I will be leaving soon and dont want to pursue an online education through them. I stop all attempts to get a degree plan and think that Im all clear. Well Im still technically taking the class, not once was I notified about anything to do with that class through any medium. I get an email saying I owe $694, they dont even tell me what for, which I dismiss as some spam or something. Next time better educate your representatives to give accurate, clear information to likely first time college goers. Also a 1 week no work turn in drop out policy would be awesome so future people avoid my situation. This school sucks, dont attend here, they dont care about students obviously, not somewhere you want to dump 100,000 for an education knowing that this institution is getting that money instead of a university worthy of it.

Very unprofessional. Complete waste of time and money. Trying to get anything done in person or over the phone is next to impossible. I will be finishing my 4 year degree hopefully this semester. However, I strongly discourage people from going to this school. Its awful. For the most part teachers are unprofessional and dont teach students anything worthwhile. The management does not care about anything other than making money. The parking, cost of books, and fees are horrendous. UAA is a monopoly- they do not need to take the time to create a quality school. Unfortunately, it ends up being a huge waste. Dont go to UAA.

Worst University Ever! All it cares about is money. Nickels and dimes you for everything. They make you take unnecessary classes. Parking pass cost 250 per car for 1 year and you cant even park in the parking garage. A lot of the parking spots arent even available. Makes you pay for the uaa bus transportation which is included in your fees even though you have already paid for a parking pass.

I went to UAA many years ago, as did my brother and my stepfather. We all went on to attend either medical school or law school following graduation. After taking summer classes at UAA, I decided to transfer in from a UC university (where my classes were 500+). I transferred partly because of the lower tuition (UC school=out of state tuition) and partly because I really enjoyed my summer classes at UAA. What I remember liking about UAA was getting to know my professors. They were very interested in teaching and were personable and friendly. I loved pretty much all of my classes. I took advantage of other opportunities offered by the university as well. I participated in the outdoor program where I learned to climb mountains, rock and ice. I worked at the bookstore and tutored for extra money. I enrolled in a research lab and also went to UAF for a summer research internship. There is no reason you cannot achieve your goals following graduation from UAA, provided you work hard and take advantage of the opportunities it offers. I went on to medical school after graduating from UAA. Two of my close classmates went on to law school and medical school. Following graduation, my stepfather went to an IVY League law school and my brother went to law school on a scholarship (and graduated top of his law class).

Inept institution. I had applied and deferred by application fee. Ultimately did not attend since their STEM program was lacking compared to most other colleges and just received a letter demanding immediate repayment of the fee. Im happy to pay whats due. I called their office for payment. No answer - closed. I have no information on my accounts with them, nonexistant since I am not attending this college, so I cannot pay them online. I called again to ask about how to get an account to pay. No answer. I travel ALL THE WAY FROM KENAI, mind you, to go talk with them in person to sort it out since they will not answer their phones. I go to the student union building and am directed to the university center since that is where they have their billing... Closed again. I have my card at the ready but they are unwilling or unable to accept my money. I finally call the main school phone and talk with the operator and he says they are having an appreciation/training day. They are unwilling to accept payment, which I am more than willing to provide as I did apply and understand there was a fee. However, a year after I apply out of the blue they sent me this letter demanding payment or they would claim my PFD. Unacceptable. Inept institution there is no wonder why their budget is being slashed. What a racket.Side note: Campus looks very new, nice and renovated. However, its pretty sprawled out and confusing from an outsider perspective.Not happy with them and am voicing concern for prospective students. Their monetary practices seem to be unethical.

Good and cheap college depending on what youre majoring in, but the one thing it lacks is a unified campus feeling. Everything is spread out and there isnt much college spirit.

To Alina Crow & the other malcontents.Obtaining an education is expensive. Ask your parents what amount of taxes they paid so you could complain about UAA. I worked full time to get my AA degree in ten years.I am not quite sure your expectations of costs toward an education? May be that you did get an education?

Review β„–27

Absolutely the worst college Ive been to. Parking is a joke even after paying for an expensive parking pass, still cant park during certain times in the day or if youre there too long you get fines all the time. I was told by the advisor for business that I shouldnt go to college because she didnt believe I was smart enough for college because I failed the first year. After writing a letter for approval explaining that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer is the reason I failed the first year of college, she said she would accept me for the business degree but didnt even apologize for her attitude. I declined UAA for the second year and went to ALASKA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. Where I currently got my associates in Accounting with a 3.0 GPA, and love the teachers Ive had so far and my advisor keeps up to date with me and helps me every semester choosing classes. DONT GO TO UAA UNLESS NURSING OR ENGINEERING because thats apparently all they care about if you havent seen the spending they use for those specific degrees only.

Much better university choices out there. UAA has been cutting programs and convoluting the whole process with litle to no benefit to students. Want to do something in the science field, run form this place.Still highly rated in nursing.UAA has been working with UAF and UAS to try and standardize, which has caused some troubles, but fixed others. Meaning that the University of Alaska system should actually accept transferring much easier for those who merely change within the state. Albeit it still a nightmare to transfer outside.Make a better choice and dont end up here regretting what youve done.

Im a student here at UAA and the internet here is god awful. It makes doing online assignments take much longer than they really need to take. Netflix, youtube, and other streaming services also get frustratingly hard to use because of it. They said they would fix it at the beginning of the year, but ended up just removing the only viable option for better internet. Also its cold AF here. UAF might be a better option in all honesty

Review β„–31

I am currently in my fourth year at UAA for my Bachelors in Biology and Minor in Mathematics. The entire time I have been at UAA, I have met MAYBE two professors that enjoy teaching students and seeing those students grow. UAA is a very selfish university in the sense that they do things for money in return. Parking permits are outrageous and the fee for parking without a permit is $15 MORE than the fee of downtown Anchorage parking tickets! Tuition is equivalent to many out of state tuition, books and supplies cost an arm and a leg and most books they create a new version by the next semester so book buyback rarely applies to any of your most expensive books. If you are looking for a university worth your time and money, I would advise against UAA. Submitting concerns and complaints to the school itself goes nowhere. If you have a third-party scholarship, good luck on getting it from UAA in a timely matter! UAA holds scholarships right up until the very last second that they legally can hold a scholarship. I hope to finish my degree and be done with UAA.
