[inupiaqpride]

@ironicRON

[CubsSuck05]

@inupiaqpride Macs are way better then the shitty dorms.

[inupiaqpride]

@CubsSuck05

you wish

[jimmystarkloff]

I have a 2 questions... do the double suite, single room comes with the small fridge? and when do you know who your roommate is?

[inupiaqpride]

@jimmystarkloff

no, i bought my own fridge. you can ask, or ask a friend who's going to school with you. and you both can pair up.

[missezkimo]

Would you recommend going to UAA or UAF?

[inupiaqpride]

@missezkimo

UAA in a heart beat... UAF they still treat you like your a kid.. there's no freedom at UAF at all. I've been there to visit friends and see how things are, housing wise, UAA is way better, way more freedom like your suppose to. plus UAA is cheaper then UAF. the only thing good UAF has is the well nothing really. My friends say the teachers suck. but what school doesnt? most of the teachers here at UAA are nice. so i love it here.

@PokeFan785

do the best you can and work the hardest you can.

[bloodgangPhilly609]

i want to go to uaa so bad! i live in pennsylvania right now and im a sophomore in high school, im working my ass off right now to get in there!

[inupiaqpride]

@bloodgangPhilly609

its not that hard to get in. just keep up the good work, work hard, and get as much scholarships as you can.

[garraaiamour]

Hmm im actually going to UAA in the spring, can you tell me when we have to check in to the dorms? I want to check in as early as possible. Are the people friendly? Did you have any problems with theft and such?

[inupiaqpride]

@garraaiamour

you mean Fall??? or spring of next year??? well if it is the Fall, you'll have to check when the summer campers leave, the day they have to move out is the day you can move in. and if you are talking about 2012, then you can move in january if youd like, or when they have a room for you.

im almost positive your talking about Fall, but it will usually be around august 15ish, but you better double check.

[flyboy4483]

Hey, I was just wondering for anyone that can tell me, I am thinking about going to college there but I want to bring my snowmobile, does anyone know if they would allow me to bring it and if there are any good places for some good mountain riding?

[inupiaqpride]

@flyboy4483

you cant store it at the college they dont have any storage, but if you can keep it in your truck or whatever the whole time, then thatd be fine, theres also other storage and UAA students get discounts, its 10% at where i get a storage. overall, unless you can keep it with you all the time, or get a storage, or find someones house to keep it at, than your screwed basically.

[spamanator666]

Man, that's a lot different than when I went to UAA back in the 90's! We had four bedroom apartments, with a big bathroom, kitchen, living room, the works. I think I'd prefer your setup, less roomates to deal with.

[inupiaqpride]

@spamanator666

haha, they still have those types of rooms, just idk, i guess its different now... haha

[ilovefriedclams]

What's the availability of dorms like at UAA? Is it hard to get one?

[inupiaqpride]

@ilovefriedclams

easy solution, apply for a room really early, when i got mine, i apply the semester before classes start, and i pretty much got first pick (although i didnt really pick) just apply early and your fine.

[ilovefriedclams]

@inupiaqpride Thanks!

[MabyeGone]

Im From Mass. and am going to UAA next fall does the whole 21 hours of day light really mess with you our is it no bit deal? and what is the best drom set up to get?

[inupiaqpride]

@MabyeGone

haha, dont worry about the day light... you'll be fine.

[hawaiiangirls09]

@MabyeGone ....the long days are in summer....winter is the short days.

[inupiaqpride]

@hawaiiangirls09

here in anchorage the year is half/half as far as weather goes. cools down in october, warms up in april

[clarenceexd]

what your major? and is every dorm like this or did you pay extra for an awesome dorm like this one?

[AngelZahera5022]

okay, i'm going to UAA and I need a quick answer how big is the rooms dimentions. 10 by 10 or what...

[inupiaqpride]

@AngelZahera5022

the rooms are about 8x12 including the closet. the quads are like 6x12 or something like that..

[KingSamLopez]

Did you get the desk and bed free?

[inupiaqpride]

@KingSamLopez yes, the bed and the desk came along with the room.

[SebbyRox93]

I might be going to UAA, I was curious, are most of the dorms like this?

[inupiaqpride]

my type of dorm room is Double Suite-Single Room

theres all kinds of dorm rooms here at UAA like for instance:

theres Temple wood apartments and MAC apartments (upperclassmen places)

theres:

Single Suites

Double suite single room

quad suite single room

quad suite double room (2 people a room)

but basically yes, just about half of the rooms are like this. they're really spacious compared to UAF trust me :D
