I believe he's considering it for next school year, so plenty of time to mull it over.

Stafford covered the questions well. 786, I suspect that your biggest challenge would be the cold and dark winter season. Just stay indoors studying and you'll be fine.

1. How would people up there react to seeing a non native black person up there?
I had no issue when it comes to that
2. Are there barber shops up there that know how to cut "black people" hair?
Uh yes lol
3. How are the girls up there? Would they react warmly to a black man?
They are severely thirsty .... if you don't believe me check out the tagged app unless its for the military men that they are thirsty for
4. Are the people in Alaska nice?
They are nice but they have this thing called a sitting face where its hard to read them

5. Is there good public transportation?
well they have aight public transpo...I take cabs since i almost been sexually assaulted twice in my almost two years here ...and the one or two times i took the bus the people on there seem to be "OFF" maybe alcohol or drugs
6. Is the weather really THAT bad? Is it going to be that hard to transition from Florida?
Not that bad i was born and raised in florida left in 2010 for new york and came here in 2014 ...
7. What fun things are there to do in Anchorage,
It's a lot i hear i just do not partake in any of it considering what has occurred with me here ...i rather stay in my house and read a book
Hopefully that helped you out
