Hey everyone, I've been doing some college research and am curious to know which college in the US is considered the most remote. I really like the idea of a college that's secluded and away from the hustle of a big city. Appreciate any insight!
In terms of remoteness, the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) tops the list in the United States. UAF is nestled in the city of Fairbanks, which is quite a distance away from other significant urban centers. The city embodies the essence of Alaska's wilderness with nearby forests and mountains, providing countless outdoor experiences.
However, if you're not prepared for extremely cold temperatures, you might consider a school like Evergreen State College, located in Olympia, Washington. Surrounded by forests and a short drive away from the ocean and mountains, Evergreen feels remote while still being near enough to Seattle for a weekend trip.
Remember, remoteness doesn't necessarily equate to isolation. These colleges, while being in remote locations, offer a community and culture unique to their settings. Your unique experience will be shaped by the campus and its surrounding landscape.
