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.
