Congratulations! UA at Fairbanks is a nice place. Overall there are lots of bugs because of the permafrost and so much organic foods. AK is very wild. You can enjoy so many unique things just name a few: Northern light, snow, hunting, fishing, etc.The landscape is very beautiful. Of course, if you really enjoy such. The winter is harsh because of the darkness. However, it did not bother me. It is really a problem for some people even for some local residents. So it is possible for those to get sick: blue. Alcohol may help a little? In addition, people, especially Chinese community, was very friendly at that time. We needed to stay closely to have fun. Another option is that some Chinese faculty stayed there for a while and worked so hard and late on they just moved to continental states. Good luck!

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive introduction. I have kids in family, not sure if they can put up with the bugs there? I am afraid they will hate me if I bring them there? How about the living expense there? I did an online comparison - $50K in my current place is equivalent to &100K there in fairbanks. Do you think a faculty's salary is enough for a family's happy living there? So much to learn about Alaska.
beautiful. . it that
