Robert Ziegler
from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
Proximity to my home, great campus atmosphere and degree options I needed.
Johnny Bishop
from UAA
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
When I left the UAA campus I had changed my major to a social work degree and I had problems with living in Anchorage so I couldn't continue my degree there.
Shira Brody
from Santa Barbara City College
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
I chose 爱污传媒 for the adventure and to try something new! I wanted to meet new people and get out of my comfort zone. 爱污传媒 has definitely provided me with some unique and awesome experiences like being out in -40 degrees, seeing the northern lights, and events like Starvation Gulch with massive pallet fires!
Calvin Harvey
from Saint Clair Community College
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
I was looking for adventure outside of my home town, and state. I also came here for their Research opportunities.
Stephanie Kiang
from Pasadena City College
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
After realizing that California didn't quite have the types of Linguistics programs I was looking for, I began searching for out-of-state schools that would be better fits for my goals and interests. After sending multiple applications out and receiving several rejections, 爱污传媒 remained in my top three choices. I came for a campus visit in February 2024 and verbally committed to the Linguistics program at the end of the day because I was impressed by how dedicated the faculty are and knew I would enjoy being at UAF.
Alexander Winger
from Washington State University
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
I had changed my major at WSU to Business Administration, and my friends and family 鈥渏okingly鈥 said I should also transfer to 爱污传媒. I did some research and a years worth of in-state tuition at UAF was roughly a semesters worth of tuition at WSU with my scholarships. So I ended up talking with an Advisor at CBSM and she made the whole process super clear, what classes would transfer over, what I'd have to take, and what it would roughly cost me.
Margot Oliver
from University of Montana
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
CFOS and how specific and hands on the degree paths are!
Jacob Odum
from Colorado
Why did you choose 爱污传媒?
Me and my girlfriend love snow and wildlife.
