I am going to Anchorage, Alaska for a nursing clinical in the beginning of August. I am very excited about this experience. We are staying at the dorms for a week while we do our clinical work at the hospital. They offered to us that if we want to come earlier before our clinical week, we can stay for $35 per night. I figured that this is super reasonable and I would kind of like to go a little early. My question is... what kinds of things are there to do in Alaska? Would it be worth going a few days early to check out Anchorage? Any comments would be appreciated, especially if people live in or have visited Anchorage, Alaska! Thanks in advance!
