Obtaining a college degree is necessary to validate ones aptitudes and abilities in the business world. I did not feel like I was particularly smarter after graduating but the degree opened doors that being smart with only a HS diploma couldn't. I graduated in my early 30s and got a 40% pay increase with the same employer whom I had worked for five years. They didn't want to lose me - but did six months later when I changed fields and received an additional 20% increase in pay.

Nursing program: Most profs are very helpful...a few individuals are complete jerks. Lots of busywork that takes hours and hours for no grade. Sadists.

This University has pluses as well as minuses. The biggest two pluses, in my mind, is that it is relatively cheap to go here, and there is a medium-sized student body that doesn't overwhelm the faculty, so personal time is easier to get here. The drawbacks stem from unexplosive enthusiasm toward the subject matter being taught and a lot of clutter surrounding the solutions to administrative problems. They take forever to fix if they are fixed at all, and you are constantly battling the headaches they bring. This isn't a bad school, but it also isn's a good one and if you have an option, go towards something with a crisper definition of a University's purpose: education.

Parking is absolutely miserable here. However the shuttle service is nice and all the major buildings are connected by overpasses,which is nice in the winter. Plus it only takes 10 minutes to walk from one side of campus to the other. I have had positive experience with all my professors. If you want to experience Alaska, this is a great place to go. And it is definately better than UAF.
