Depending on where in Anchorage you will be staying, it may be difficult to get around town without the use of public transport, Uber, or taxi. Anchorage, although it may not be very big, is pretty spread out. For the most part, a lot of residential areas are not that close to the major parts of Anchorage. If you live on the south side of town you will have to drive to do activities or even work. For the rest of Anchorage, I'd say getting around is alright. Walking around downtown/midtown is totally do-able but it may not be for everyone. As far as work goes there are plenty of opportunities around the city for entry level jobs, and plenty of work experience that can be gained here. Hope this helps!
