University of Arkansas Top Questions

The worst thing about my school might be the parking accommodations. Students purchase passes to park their cars in lots around campus--the more convenient, the more expensive. This is reasonable. However, every time there is a home football or basketball game, all students in nearby lots are required to relocate their cars to temporarily designated lots that are rather out of the way, then walk back to wherever they need to be to go about their weekend. Later they may be required to relocate their cars again out of the game day parking lots. Failure at any point to keep up with the parking system can result in expensive fines.

Nothing. Its a great School.

I think the worst thing about my school is how it handles feedback from students. Poor professors seldom incur any form of discipline, just a lack of rewards. On the flip side, professors who do well require significant amounts of positive feedback to receive any kind of benefits for positive work. Neither of these scenarios results in professors having a motivation to do their job well.

The size of the university can be intimidating and isolating at times.

There is not a standard of ecxellence at the school. More focus is given to sports than academics.

We have quite a few snow days that cause the University to be closed. This can make studying and learning difficult since we can not be in the classroom or on campus.

There aren't really a lot of activities or clubs at the school that interest me. There are usually events going on that are hosted by fraternities, sports games and things of the like going on, but none of them really interest me. For those with a nerdier outlook there is a larping group, but it is very disappointing. Unfortunately, there is not much going for the RSOs on campus, and I'm really not sure how one would get in contact with them anyways.

The worst thing about my school is all the hills on the campus because it tires me out.

The difficulty in finding classes. Just recently the U of A had to reduce the capacity of each class room, due to fire insspections, resulting in greater competiion for classes. This makes creating your schedule more difficult, especially for the students with less credit hours.

The worst thing would be not allowing students that begin to pay for out of state tuition to gain in state tuition when they perform really well their first year.

The focus on athletics seems to be much more important than academics. The school is tearing down parking lots to expand the football program and now many people have to park miles from campus just to go to class. The entire environment here is revolving around sports and games. I did not come here for sports. I came here for academics and to receive a good education. My money is going toward these athletic renovations instead of towards what happens in the classrooms. That is not where my money should be going.

The worst thing about my school is the amount of hills. There are severly high hills that are hard to walk up especially when trying to get to class. I know that college requires alot of walking, but the hills make it that much harder.

By using the word "worse" I understand that I should choose something among my University's facilities, resources, and overall system of operation that I found particularily unconvenient. The truth is, I love everything about my University, but if I had to choose, I would only wish that the cafeteria's could be open longer during the weekends so that we may take advantage of our meal plans and that the books would be cheaper or their buyback value higher.

The worst thing about U of A is the hills. The campus is very hilly and it will keep you in shape walking in between classes. You don't really think its that big of a deal when you are visiting, but then when you walk the hills every day, it is intense!

The parking! I wish there were closer parking options for people who live off campus.

The worst thing about my school is that some students don't stay focused as much as they should. For example, they choose not to go to class because they're tired, or stayed up all night, or are just too lazy to get up and go to class. Staying focused is one of the main ways to succeed in their lives.

The worst thing about the University of Arkansas is probably the weather. Since you usually have to walk everywhere on campus or take the bus, weather can take it's toll. In Arkansas, one day the weather will be sunny and beautiful, the next day cold and miserable. In the winter, it tends to snow quite a bit in Fayetteville. This means that you have to treck to class in the freezing weather and possible two feet of snow. I love this school, but the weather is an annoying thing that every student and faculty member has to deal with.

I wouldn't consider it a really terrible thing. But what should be improved is the amount of diversity at our school. It definetely needs to be more of a melting pot.

The most disappointing thing about this school is over-abundance of uncontrolled fraternity parties.

I honestly can't say anything about my college. It is a very nice environment to be around in and there's nothing wrong with it.
