University of Arkansas Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Arkansas accurate?

Tate

Not at all!!! We have very strong traditions illustrated in our tailgating, senior walk, and alumni support!

Amanda

some parts of arkansas, but not all. Northwest Arkansas much more developed than the South part of Arkansas.

Brett

No

Samantha

No.

Andy

Backwards hicks-no. Like any state, there are individuals that aren't very smart, but the majority of us are just normal people. Many of us DO embrace the fact that we are from the South and have pride in our culture, but that doesn't mean we are all off marrying our cousins! Arkansas is a big party school, but there are going to be parties at any college one attends and as long as you don't let it interfere with your studies, there is nothing wrong with going out! There is no exaggeration about our love of the Razorbacks. It is what we live for.

Meagan

Some people may fit the stereotype, but not all.

Stefanie

Some are. We do love the hogs, the hill is good and bad, I don't think we party a lot. We party enough

Whitney

I think that all schools party including the University of Arkansas but partying is not the most important thing at the UofA. Our acadimics are great and we have a really good and well-known athletic teams.

Jamie

Friendly and Southern- Yes

Lauren

The one about everyone being counrty is not but there are quit a few.

Bethany

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

Kristen

Nope.

Amy

Not at all!

Kara

Juliana

To some degree, but for the most part...NO!

Robyn

only for some people

Caitlin

Not at all.

Brittany

In some areas of the state, people do often ride four-wheelers, feed cows, and go hunting. But, not all areas/people are like that! Arkansas has very upscale areas to live, such as Fayetteville. Northwest Arkansas is rapidly growing and there are many job opportunities in this area.

Cameron

Of course not! The U of A (at Fayetteville, anyway!) has amazing students and a lot to offer. Stereotyping skeptics should give us a chance!

Sydney

The sororities and frats do not party all the time. We have organized functions that are classy and fun, but we do not have them all the time. There are usually only two or three a semester.
