I think the U of A fits me perfectly. The size of the campus is just right and there are MANY things to get involved in on our campus. There are a ton of clubs and organizations so everyone fits in here. Our school has a lot of pride, which is shown very clearly at all of our athletic events. We always have great turn outs at sports events, greek events and other organizational events.

Just the right size. When I tell people I attend Arkansas they think it's exciting, because it's the largest school in the state. The thing that I would change (the is mostly for on-campus/dorm residents) is the quality of food in the cafeterias. There should be more healthy, organic choices than all of the fatty items that are avaliable.
Katie
It is in a college town, Fayetteville, and is very sports oriented. We have some of the biggest stadiums in the world for college sports. It is a very fun town though.
Caitlin
I love the atmosphere of Fayetteville and the entire campus. The only drawback is that parking is absolutely ridiculous.
Ashley
I love Arkansas, as does i think most of the population here. everyone is friendly and conciencious of eachother( people say hi and smile even when they dont know you and everyone holds doors for eachother, etc)
Emily
The best thing about Arkansas is all the nice people. I wouldn't change a thing. My school is just right. When I tell people I go to Arkansas they react like its way in the South, when really, its only three and half hours south. I spend most of my time on campus in the library (yay Mullins!!) Fayetteville is definitely a college town! I don't have much of an opinion about Arkansas' administration because I dont have a lot of involvement with them. We are Hog Wild here!!! One experience I will always remember will be living in the dorms freshman year.

I love the University of Arkansas. The atmosphere is amazing and I could not ask for a more perfect school. It is the perfect size, not too big but not too small. The people here are great, and so are the teachers. There is alot of school pride in the state. The University of Arkansas is the largest school in the state of Arkansas and because of that we have the entire state's support.
Mallory
I love this school. It is the perfect size and the perfect town. The only thing I would change is if they offered more classes for each subject because classes fill up FAST!!!
Sarah
Arkansas is the perfect size. I have a lot of friends here from home but I have also been able to meet so many new people. Fayetteville is a great town, but I wouldn't call it a college town. It is just the right size for the school though, with a lot of great restaurants and fun night life. I think AR is a great school and holds high academic standards. I spend most of my time in class, at the greek frat and sorority houses, and in my apartment. I love everything about AR and wouldn't want to go anywhere else!
Tate
The best thing about Arkansas is the spirit and tradition. Calling the Hogs was always the highlight of going to football games with my Daddy growing up. The spirit and atmosphere especially during football season is unparalleled. One experience I will always remember is being present when the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS DEFEATED THE NO. 1 RANKED LSU TIGERS!!!!!! I can never forget the shock on the crowds faces or leaving that stadium. The one time I was terrified to be wearing my Razorback Red. That experience is one I will never forget, especially being able to spend it with my Sorority Sisters.
The most controversial legislation passed by the Administration is one to eliminate all smoking on the UofA campus which will become effective this July. Students will no longer be able to smoke on campus. The regulation of this new rule will be interesting and students are anxious to see the confrontations that may happen.
Fayetteville, AR is one of the best college towns in America. Everywhere you turn, you can see Old Main (the original building of our campus) Driving up to Fayetteville, I get butterflies in my stomach every time I see the "hill" and Old Main...I realize I'm back home. Every shop, restaurant, and home has Razorback paraphernalia and all stores and restaurantoffer student discounts. They participate in events held on Campus and are always willing to give donations.
Amanda
definitely a college town, home football games are a big tail, tailgating parties everywhere; basketball games always loud and fun, calling the hogs seems extremely wierd to anyone thats not a razorback fan
Brett
1. The great campus and greek life 2. How far it is from my hometown 3. Just right 4. No particular reaction, its normal to go here from where I'm from 5> I spend most of my time in my dorm, the library, and my sorority house 6. College town 7. good staff 8. I'm not sure 9. Yes, everyone is very spirited 10. Nothing to unusual 11. My initiation into my sorority and the day I moved in 12. School is very tough on alcohol policy
Samantha
The best thing about the University of Arkansas is the rich tradition that is associate with the University. We have so many traditions and rituals that the U of A is known for, such as the calling of the Hogs, Pep Rallies, our Fight Song, and the bond between Alumni and current students. We also have around 17,000 students, so it's small enough to constantly run into friends, but large enough to feel like you see new people everyday. The reason I choose the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville is that the town feedsinto 3 other large surbuban areas, which include major corporations like Wal-Mart, JB Hunt, and Proctor & Gamble, to name a few. So, this "college town" doesn't feel like one at all. There is so much more to it.

Arkansas is a beautiful state. If you like spending time outside, this is definately the place to be. There are rivers, lakes, moutains, fields, pretty much anything! We have warm summers and cold winters, though I will admit Arkansas weather will keep you on your toes. It has been known to be in the 70's or 80's in the middle of winter, and snow in the spring or summer! My school is the perfect size. Like most people from Arkansas I come from a small town, and Fayetteville gives me the perfect mixture of big city and small town. It is definately a college town, there is never nothing to do! Most of the restaurtants, tanning salons, clubs, ect. have student discounts! The last big controversy came from Housten Nutt leaving Arkansas, and of course D-Mac buying an Escalade. There is a ton of school pride for the Arkansas Razorbacks, in fact in my family if I didn't become a Razorback it would have been some sort of taboo! When you are from Arkansas, you are a true Razorback through and through. The hog call is one of the most distinguished signs of Arkansas! We get a lot of complaints about the crazy weather, but I like to think that when we are getting sick of it being cold, it warms up for a few days to give us a break and vice versa!
Meagan
I like the size of Arkansas. I spend most of my time at the hper.
Stefanie
I love Arkansas. I think they should not have rasied tution because well there are enough football players that will never make the grades and are getting full rides. I am not getting a lot of help in the money area and I need it.
There is a lot of Hog pride. Everyone loves the hogs even when they suck. I am glad Houston Nutt left.
Whitney
I think that Arkansas is a little bigger than my taste but what can you expect, I graduated with ninety-six people in my senior class at high school so of course college is gonna be a hugh difference. I think that the UofA's campus is one of the most beautiful campus', the best time to see it is in the fall when all of the trees are turning orange and red. The Arkansas Razorbacks are filled with pride, everyone loves going to sports games and cheering them on.
Jamie
I love UofA. I think it is a great place with great people. The only thing I would change is the parking situation!
Lauren
The best thing about Arkansas is Dickson St. The worst thing about arkansas is the nursing school is pretty bad. Another thing I don't like is how spreed out the campus is and how many hills there are, it makes it very difficult when walking to class.
Bethany
Arkansas is known as the natural state and it's the truth. Arkansas is a naturally beautiful state including MOST of the people who live there. I attend school at the U of A in Fayetteville, AR. It is the perfect size... for me anyway. We are home to the infamous Arkansas Razorbacks!!! Go HOgs! WE have an immense amount of school spirit... the most i've ever seen! Football season is the most exciting. Tailgating is a huge event every Arkansan participates in before the games! Arkansas is an amazing place to live!
