Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is the gateway to the Arctic and one of the most unforgettable places to spend a season abroad. In summer you’ll experience the famous Midnight Sun with up to 21 hours of daylight — perfect for hiking, kayaking, and exploring after your shift. As fall arrives, the tundra turns gold and the skies come alive with the first Northern Lights of the season. On your days off, visit Denali National Park, soak in the Chena Hot Springs, cruise the Chena River on a riverboat, or meet sled dogs and reindeer up close. Fairbanks is small, friendly, and full of international students just like you.
