I found that the most students had an indifferent attitude toward their studies and I can understand why. Most of the teachers did not explain concepts at an abstract level; they merely showed the class how to do problems or rehashed the book with few additions. I found myself dreading class and assignments- why go to class when I can read the book, and why do hours of mindless algebra to get an A on the next homework assignment?

the art dept at uaf has inproved a lot since i started there.it was all landscaped life based work, now its getting a more experimental and the standereds have gone, up, i think...
it still has a way to go, but the new faculty they hired make a big difference. they let me do pretty much whatever i wanted and pushed me pretty hard (but not as hard as i pushed myself)
the school is certainly not the bestfor art (though for the sciences its one of the top in the country)but has somethings going for it if you are interested:
1=nice and cheap (one of thecheapest!)
2=because its so cheap you can affored to do funthings like student exchanges-I did two years, it was great!
3+ like anywhere else, success is mostly a matter of your self motivation...I wrote independent studies, etc,.. i feel like i got a lot out of my degree.fairbanks is an ugly city in the first immpression, but the art community is very strong for such a small town and the wilderness cant be beat!

For a state university UAF certainly tries. I felt that my major dept. was understaffed. UAF does have some great, friendly, nice professor just not in my deptartment. I suggest other students give UAF and try, it just takes time for it to grow on you. : )

the faculty are absorbed into thier own research programs, not enthusiastic about teaching undergrads. the administration does not take student complaints seriously and treats students as if they have no choice but to attend this school.
Extracurricular Activities: B-, Education Quality: F
