The Best College Towns In Alaska For 2024

Believe it or not, America has the best colleges in the world. It's been proven by data (and surveys) that the U.S. educational system is of the highest quality

It's actually not even close and Alaska is home to a handful of them.

While we could debate which colleges within Alaska are the 'best,' that's not the goal of this post.

Instead, ride along with us as we determine which college towns in Alaska are the best.

You know, the type of places where there's energy and stimulation, but the type of place you can walk around at night. The happiest, chillest, most downright fun places where you can send your kids off to college where you won't break the bank, or worry about their well being.

While some of these may not seem like a 'real' college town per se, when you look at the numbers, it's hard to argue against.

And for those who live in Fairbanks, Palmer and Anchorage - we tip our hats to you and we'll schedule a tour for next week. You can see where Fairbanks ranks in terms of the best college town in America.

Even though there are only 4 cities on our list, you need to remember there are another 333 places in Alaska that don't even have a college. One might say you gotta be in it in to win it.
