University of Alaska Anchorage Top Questions

UAA's online systems need to be connected. Having to sign in the webmail at one location, sign in to the Blackboard at another location and yet UAA online at another location is redundant.

The worst thing about the University of Alaska Anchorage would have to be the quality of service from many of the different departments, such as Housing, Financial Aid, the Registrar's Office, and the mail system, (which works through Housing.) The mail, for one example, is often 'lost,' even when there is a tracking number attached to it. I have personally 'lost' over $500 through UAA's mail system. The money was sent to me at different times, from different people, in different forms. Any time money is sent, it disappears; it is the same with several other students.

I dont really think there is a 'worst thing' about UAA other than that it is in Alaska which means it is cold.

There is a lack of funding, or at least a lot less funding, for many academics. A lot more money in the budget goes towards sports and building additions to the campus instead of academic programs.

I think the worst thing about UAA is how spread out everything is. It's hard to get to classes on time.

The worst thing about University of Alaska Anchorage is that there is not a connection between students. The campus is so large and diverse that the students barely get to know each other. It is hard to get to know anyone on this campus.

The worst thing about my school is that class hours are not always suitable for the working student, hence making the college life difficult because I am not able to take the classes that I need.

Lack of covered walk areas is the worst part about UAA. It is slippery and cold outside and covered walk ways would definately be nice!

Most of the people are very gullible and close-minded.

Since they let anyone in, the people can be just that--anyone. It's not terribly far from the poorer parts of town, which brings some unseemly folks, student and non-student alike, to the campus. It's too expensive for what we get.
