Review of Fairbanks, Alaska


Improbable Town in the Wilderness
Star Rating - 12/11/2009
Fairbanks is an amazing town because of the amazing people, great university, and so many things to do I have to pick and choose carefully or I will be on the go constantly. Through the years I have lived here, one word always comes to mind in describing my community: improbable. From ballet, to music, figure skating, hockey, soccer, theater, brewery, to decent year-round tennis, I am never lacking for things to do. The only reason I'm on sperlings is because of the cold, dark winters, which have always been intriguing to me until lately. Other than that, I would live here forever.

Alaska is amazing, all of it. I loved Fairbanks when I went to UAF. The only problem I have is to pick a place! There are too many choices, and it is so big it is not convenient to travel from, say Fairbanks to Valdez for the weekend. My only compliant is why property is so expensive for this gigantic EMPTY state. Go figure.
