Colleges & PFD

I was stationed at Elmendorf for 3 years; I found it to be an excellent assignment. I did take some graduate and continuing ed classes through Univ of Alaska-Anchorage and was pretty impressed by the quality. It's a hermetically sealed campus, with enclosed walkways. Alaska Pacific U is also in town.
BTW, if you want to qualify for the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, at least when I was there 5 years ago, you had to establish residence for a year before applying. After you qualify, you get the PFD for life, but when I was briefied on it, they threw some scare tactics at us--the state gov't can recover the money if you move away and never come back. Don't know often this happens.
