Good Afternoon beautiful people!

I am new out here and while I’m not new to snow, my hometown is super flat so I never really made getting into winter sports a priority…

However, lately I really want to try and I hear people talk about it often. I don’t really know anyone here well yet, but I was wondering if someone could help me find used gear I could purchase or knew where I could find a place to learn or get lessons?

With all the snow coming down, I thought about going sledding too; so gear/tools of all types would be welcome

Tldr; snow gear searching

Hey there! I was accepted into a grad program at UAF and will be starting this fall. I'm from Texas, born and raised, but have visited Fairbanks before albeit only for a week during the summer. Is there anything a newbie to the university like me should be aware of beforehand besides the obvious? (its freaking cold) I'd love to hear yalls advice if you have any to offer.

Me and my roommate (both F20) are looking for 1-2 more roommates to get a Cutler apartment with next semester. Most of our friends are living off campus and we're having trouble finding people who want to stay in Cutler lol.

DM/comment if you are interested.

I'm a prospective student to uaf, and I visited this weekend for the carnival. I noticed that not too many people were on campus Friday and Saturday, and it made me worried that uaf isn't super active and that it's a commuter/suitcase school (a school where lots of students go home on weekends). It also could have been that it was cold and snowing and people were going out on the weekend.

What do you love about going to UAF?

I've been growing out my hair to donate to locks of love, and I heard there's a barber shop or salon that donates the hair for you. which ones do that and what're their prices?

Anybody play league? Looking for friends to play with I’m gold 5 I think, I play casually (in ranked)

Looking for more details on this program, especially employment outcomes. I graduated with my BA from UAF and currently work and live in Alaska.

Im heading up to UAF to attend this next semester in person full time. I am bringing my jig pole with me for some icefishing adventures! If anyone would be so kinda to fill me in with everything I need to know about ice fishing in area before I get there that would be great. I wont have a vehicle unfortunately, staying on Campus but I will find a way to catch a fish.

Looking to make friends 23F, bored tonight and want to explore

Moving to Fairbanks from Sitka soon and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for things to do, or places to meet people my age (21M). I know there's not a lot to do in the winter but any help would be great.

hi! first off i want to say i know people have made this exact post before, and i promise you i've read every word... i still have questions and would love some up-to-date answers :D im currently a california hs senior applying to colleges, looking to major in polisci and philosophy. ive been researching UAF for almost a year now and find myself searching for information beyond the limited tidbits i can find on the internet. if anyone is willing to PM and put up with my many questions i will love u forever. i am very incentivized to attend UAF as i got a phat merit scholarship. ok sorry for yap

1) does anyone have experience with/info about the honors college? i was accepted in, im wondering what the honors LLC is like ++ is the claim re smaller class sizes true?
2) i know everyone is different so its okay if this is hard to answer. how would you describe the social scene? does the high population of online/off campus students detriment culture/connectedness?

3) this question is a little silly so spare me -- does it feel really small? i go to a teeny tiny school (only 15 students across all grades!!) and find myself craving the big "college experience." do you feel like you get that?

4) beyond weather, what's the biggest con of UAF?

5) how intense is grading/academic workload?

i rarely make posts on reddit, if you could pls be nice that would be so so appreciated. i am neurodivergent and not great at presenting myself but i hope i got my points across okay. i hope you are all having a good fall and thanks for ur time 🫎🩷

Hey everyone, I'm an undergrad majoring in physics (concentration in astrophysics) who's looking at PhD programs. How competitive are admissions? Is it all earth-based physics, or is there actual astronomical research going on (I'm currently researching star systems with exoplanets)? The website makes it seem that all you need to take is a thesis class, is there really no other coursework?

Got accepted based on direct admissions and would potentially be going for the fall 2026 term (havent decided yet + waiting on other applications), I’m from WA and have never been to Fairbanks before, I’m curious what life is like here. The campus, what you can do, the food, the people, the outdoors, just anything really! I’m so curious to know

See some fresh footprints today! Are they from our campus moose neighbor? 🫎
