University of Alaska Anchorage

If you can avoid this college please do. I have attended 3 and this is by far the worst. Parking is ridiculously expensive asking like $200 and over for a parking pass. Speaking to an advisor is a joke. I kept getting passed around and then they push appointments to be a phone call. Their website is not student friendly. They changed my degree midway through adding and taking away courses so now I have pointless credits. I have heard from several people now that this is very common of UAA. Trust me there are better colleges out there. I maintained a 3.8 GPA until starting UAA. Partly on me and partly on the fact that they will throw teachers in last minute to teach a course and they admit they had to scramble the course material which usually ended up being overload for beginners classes.

If you're a working adult and want to take classes then have a look at night classes at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). If you're out of high school and plan to live with friends or your parents then you can't beat the convenience of a local campus. Online classes aren't 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.

I have been to a handful of universities, and UAA is by far the most disorganized and unhelpful. Staff can't help you- you're going to have to make a dozen phone calls to even begin to sort out your own financial aid or what courses you need to take for your degree. Making appointments for consultation is a waste of time because you're going to get treated like an Incel for asking the questions that you have and ultimately get nowhere by the end of it. I've never seen a college extinguish so many ambitious youths so quickly. If you're seeking for a straight forward experience look elsewhere.

this school is ranked one of the lowest in america, i visited here last week.. all i can say is that the campus is dirty and filled with vagabonds. be careful of your things as there are snatchers in the compound

UAA Planetarium has superb presentations, and tonight was another example of two of the best! "Habitat Earth" and "A Place Like No Other". Suitable for literally all ages. Pricing is so reasonable, too! Joining as a member (about $100) gives you up to 4 tickets to any show at no additional fees. A little mental math will prove the value of membership.

Horrible University, especially the aviation program. They’ll do anything they can to get money out of you and make sure you hardly ever fly. They do not care at all about student success. Just ask students who enroll how many finish and actually become professional pilots. It’s very little. The director, Cremer, is an awful human being and should be fired, along with all the other administrators and flight instructors. It’s a shame because some of the part time professors are awesome. I did end up with a degree from this school, but overall it’s poorly run and nothing even close to a quality institution of higher learning.

Worst college ever. I wouldn't even consider coming here. They're super disorganized, you have to pay for parking EVERYWHERE (and it's not cheap). The staff and professors I have met are not only unprofessional but they are unattentive. They will not respond to your emails for weeks or even a month sometimes and you have to find everything and do everything yourself.

I have never been here but it is a few minutes drive from my place!

I'm 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 I'm not fully enrolled in this class just projected to join. I later decide that I don't want to go through UAA since I will be leaving soon and don't want to pursue an online education through them. I stop all attempts to get a degree plan and think that I'm all clear. Well I'm 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 don't 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, don't attend here, they don't 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.

Great university focused on delivering a quality education. Beautiful campus.
