See Nanook Nation for Yourself

The best way to really know what UAF is like is to visit campus for yourself. This is an opportunity for you and your family to see the place you’ll call home as a UAF student. Join us for daily Blue Tours to get to know your way around, spots for coffee, classes, and campus activities, and experience a day in the life of a Nanook! You can dive deeper into specific academic departments at UAF with Gold Tours.

 

Take a Tour of Campus

Choose between two types of campus tours — the Blue Tour and the Gold Tour — depending on what you're looking to learn more about during your UAF visit. Or hey, why not take both!
