If you're looking for something really different for your college experience, don't rule out spending four years in Alaska, the Last Frontier. Students choose Alaska for a number of reasons, including fine academics and the opportunity to spend time in this magnificent location, which is like none other in the United States.
When it comes to colleges, Alaska can certainly hold its own, though the selection won't be as large as that of most states on the mainland. The University of Alaska system is quite extensive, with campuses in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau. Each of those three universities has affiliated colleges, centers and campuses, providing students with a wealth of choices.
Those who don't live in Alaska but choose it as a college destination are often interested in such topics as environmental or native studies. Most of the colleges here are dedicated to the preservation of the culture, heritage and natural resources of the state and offer diverse studies in these areas.
