Hi. I am thinking of going to Alaska Pacific University to study marine biology. Could anybody give me any info about APU? Just general things such as what it is like, is it a good school and anything else. Also, is Alaska even a good place to study marine biology? I live in Florida now but I want to get out and do something new. I want to experience new things and I figured Alaska was a good place to do this. Thanks!

APU sits adjacent to the University of Alaska ~ Anchorage & Providence Alaska Medical Center in the middle of Anchorage. I'm not familiar with their academics though... Why APU? The University of Alaska ~ Southeast offers a Marine Biology program at a much cheaper price: Biology and Marine Biology | University of Alaska Southeast
And yes, Alaska is a great place to study marine biology.

My wife goes to APU and they have much better instructors and the school has a better reputation. They also have a MUCH more robust online program.
