What's it like living in Fairbanks AK?


Share |

Basically, I've been interested in going to university of Alaska fair banks and I'm wondering what it's like living there. Is there a lot to do? Movie theaters, restaurants, any night life? And how do you deal with the cold?

Thanks.

Take a look at our local paper online, it will answer a lot of those questions for you and give you a sense of what's going on in Fairbanks. There is also a winter survival guide that has info about dealing with the cold.

It's cold. You get used to it. If you don't get outdoors or get out of your house, the winters will get to you, but UAF has a lot of cool things to do and Fairbanks is a nice little town.With a fair amount of hippies, typical Alaska. They do have Movie Theaters and a lot of restaurants, they also have a lot of 'college hangout' coffee shop things. Not sure about night life, sorrryyyyy.
