“Alaska has always had a special place in my heart and when looking at college, I didn’t want to sacrifice what I love about my home state. MSU is surrounded by mountains, great for skiing and hiking, and blue ribbon rivers for fly fishing so I didn’t have to give up any of my favorite Alaskan hobbies when coming to college. The amazing undergrad research programs were a plus too. MSU combines all my favorite parts of Alaska with unparalleled academic programs and really is the best of both worlds.”
