   My first choice (which isnt on the list but in my head) would be UAA, university of alaska, I would have to pay relatively less money, i know how anchorage works so nothing would be new besides meeting new friends, and I love it here too much to leave.

   My second choice would be University of southeast alaska, it’s cheap, it’s in alaska, its not a huge place which i like better

   Third choice would be (to be honest just picked a random school because i never really thought about being out of alaska & i never liked being out of state) Northern state univiersity, for out of state residents its much cheaper than most, and it’s a small college

2. Browse through the list of colleges and click "See Profile" for each of the three colleges that you listed in your answer above. Using the profile, write down the name of each college and two things you learned about each college. (6 points)

University of alaska: it offers a variety of classes and its a large town with diversity

University of southeast alaska: primarily a commuter campus & surrounded by a lot of woods Northern state university: $10,000 financial aid, certification available for all degree programs
