whats better Humboldt State or University of Alaska Anchorage?
after all I will be paying about the same price so where is it more fun as in places to socialize and go out yet living the rural lifestyle… I am majoring in foreign languages so what is more convenient?

I don’t know much about Anchorage, but I am from Humboldt. I think it’s a beautiful place! There’s alot of outdoors things to do, as for other stuff, not much! It’s really kick back, people are very friendly (Alot of Natural "hippy" type people in Arcata) I love it there. There are a few good places to go out and socialize, not alot, but the few there are are good. The weather can be alittle dreary in the winter (It doesn’t sound like your looking for warm weather though..lol) Summers aren’t bad, it never gets too hot there..alittle warm. No need for AC anytime of the year. Humboldt has a pretty tight community, which is great! I wish you luck on picking the perfect one for you!!!!!
I can not comment on University of Alaska Anchorage as I have never been there, but I graduate from Humboldt State.
There is plenty to do in Humboldt if you are an outdoor type person. One on the prettiest places I have ever been. Right up the coast , past Trinidad is an amazing place called Fern Canyon, I think. Anyway, it is amazing.
It is a social school, rather hippie filled but they are nice.
The bar scene is small but good and people just end up hanging out at houses anyway.
The on campus housing is good, or dorms. I had some really fun times in them and if you want to party more I would suggest either Sunset or Redwood dorms on The Hill. Good Times!!!
Best of luck!!
