I spent 3 and a half years there in Anchorage. I miss the two good summers they have but in no way would I like to be there the Oct-April time frame. It's a different world when you see snow covered on everything 24/7.
Nightlife was cool. Lots of house parties...been awhile so I don't know what the club scene is like. Most girls up there are because they fam was military, but it's some bad ones..The locals like the Samoans girls ain't no talking to them...at all. The guys keep them cuffed. Plus they usually built like Precious so you won't be missin out. Really no competition from the guys up there tho. If you got a lil game that snapper will stay on your plate.
