The best thing about Arkansas is how everyone comes together for the sporting events. Razorback football is really intense and it is a whole day event. One thing I would change about the school is the location. I would put the school closer to Little Rock, because then there would be more things to do. University of Arkansas has a very well known reputation and people are impressed when I say I attend here. On campus I spend most of my time in the library studying. My current goal is to go to graduate or law school, and you need to top grades to get into those schools. The one thing I would change if I could is the food. I'm not personally big on southern food, but if you do like that kind of food this is the place to be. I like healthy food and I would have to say it's hard to find here.

The school is large, but it is very friendly and I spend most of my time on campus in the dorms or at the Union where there is always something going on. There have been mixed reactions when I tell people that I attend the U of A, but overall its very positive. There is a lot of school pride and everyone here bleeds Razorback Red! There are some unsual things about the campus such as the hidden underground tunnels I have been told exist and that the south tower on Old Main is shorter than the north tower due to its construction in the Civil War.

Perfect college town! There is always something to do and it is never boring. There is always people around. It is not too big and not to small. You will for sure know someone in every class and that is always nice. Fayetteville is so pretty and fun. There are great local restraunts and shops. It is somewhere in 30 years you can come back and say "Man that was the time of my life!"

I love our school. It's so awesome how we can have a smaller university that is much more tight knit than other schools, but we still have awesome sports teams and fans! The learning enviornment is much more personal because the classrooms are smaller. The only bad part about going to school here is when I tell people I go to school here. Most people have the "hillbilly" image of Arkansas in their minds and you can't convince them otherwise! It gets frustrating and the hog/pig jokes are getting old. I would say Fayetteville is mostly a college town. It's nice, but I wish there was a little bit more in the town.

I think that The University of Arkansas is a really great place to be. I came here because I felt something that i didn't feel at the other schools that I visited. It is a very inviting place and I think people don't understand that.

Brittany

At the U of A, I feel as if people are genuinely nice and care about what I have to say. I have made some great friends through the various college classes I have taken. I love how big the school is, but also feel like i dont get lost in the crowd too often. There is PLENTY of school pride. Just ask anyone on campus, or in Arkansas for that matter, how to call the Hogs. You will get the standard reply of Woooo PIG SOIEEE!

The best thing about Arkansas... the FOOTBALL GAMES! I LOVE our fight song. I think the school is a perfect size because you can have a great group of friends and still know only one person in a class. It has amazing Greek Life as well (TriDelta)! I spend a lot of time between classes at the Union, especially in the Coffee Shop! I have a different group of friends that I like to hang out there with that makes a nice break in my day. The only bad thing about Arkansas... the PARKING!! It's terrible. They're building new dorms where they need a parking garage! The 1000+ students that live around that area already have no where to park. It's miserable, avoiding tickets is impossible.

Sydney

Arkansas is a great campus on of the best things in my opinion is the southern charm that is so evident on campus. I believe the University of Arkansas is just the right size. Usually when I tell people I attend the University of Arkansas people react by saying "How bout those hogs!" or "That is a wonderful university!"

Brittany

The best thing about Arkansas is how pretty it is, especially in the fall. It is a beautiful campus. I would change the parking situation here. It is absolutely ridiculous...as if this school doesn't get enough money, they charge a ton for anything parking related. I think the size of Arkansas is just right. I spend most of my time at the business building on campus or in Kimpel doing homework.

Emily

I love Arkansas. It is a great college town with lots to do with friends. I also like the size of the school because it is small for a state school but has good athletic tradition.

Taylor

The best thing about Arkansas is.... that it is very diverse with many cutural oportunies and clubs to join, and that the school has really great professors.

Cory

I think I will always remember the good times and friends I have made while being in a fraternity.

Emma

I love Arkansas. Coming from Oklahoma, everyone expected me to go to OU or OSU, so people are surprised that I came here. I love my school, and wouldn't change anything about it. I love the fact that everyone who goes here, currently or previously, are strong Hog fans. You can almost always find a stranger walking through walmart that isn't embarrassed to call those hogs, believe me, I've found them. It's an all around good school, and I really feel like I'm learning things.

Tony

The facilities are the best thing about arkansas. i wouldnt know what to change quite yet. school is just right. people are impressed when i tell them i go to arkansas. i spend most of my time in the dorms or classes. college town. arkansas admin. is good. lots of school pride.

Daniel

The best thing about Arkansas is that it is first and foremost a place where education is the most important thing, but having fun comes in a close second. One thing that I would change is the parking arrangement. Honestly, if you're not willing to pay $300/ year than you are going to have quite the hike to your dorm. When I tell people I'm going to Arkansas, being from Arkansas, most people aren't surprised, although many people assume it's easier than it really is. I spend most of my time on campus at my fraternity house. Greek life is a huge part of the experience at U of A, but the good thing is it isn't essential to enjoy your time in college. Fayetteville is an amazing college town. It has all the mystique of the small town, with its town square and street lined with local restaurants and bars. It also has all of the aspects of a big town, with several movie theaters, several WalMarts, and a good mall.

The University of Arkansas has a beautiful campus and is rich in history. One thing I would change is the parking situation on campus. The University is a division I school but is quite small compared to other schools with only 18,000 total undergrad and graduate students. People from Arkansas and surrounding states usually agree that Arkansas is one of the leading universities in the region with some of the most advanced facilities. I spend most of my time on campus in the dorms or in class. On the weekends there is no shortage of parties and other activities. Being a wet campus promotes the party atmosphere. Fayetteville is definitely a college town with Bars running up and down Dixon Street and on the square, there are plenty of liquor stores and 18 and up clubs too. The Arkansas administration is dedicated to the advanced development of the University and the well being of the students. The biggest recent controversy has been the tobacco ban going into effect next year, the first in the country for any Flagship university. There is a lot of school pride on and off campus and Arkansas has some of the most supportive alumni around. The most frequent student complaints include parking, housing, and the dining halls.

School Spirit- Arkansas has excellent school spirit, EVERYONE calls the Hogs it is what U of A is known for. I don't think i would change anything and i do not think it is too large or too small. It fits me perfectly. When i tell people i go to U of A they mostly say, "Oh so your a Hog, Do you yell Pig Soooie?" When i am on campus, i spend most my time in my dorm room, friends dorm rooms, union, or at my sorority house. Fayetteville is defiantly a college town, it does have more to do than other college towns. We have a street known as Dickson street with cute shops, bars, and restaurants. Everyone loves to hang out there! The only complaint i hear about the school the most would have to be from the student who live in the dorms, they seem to always complain about the cafeteria food, but thats a given they are away from there home cooked meals that they are used to having. One experience i will always remember will be going through Greek Rush. It was a crazy time, but also great. I met so many wonderful girls, it is how i met my Best friends today!

Bethany

The best thing about the University of Arkansas is the laid back community. There is a high emphasis on performing well academically, but there is a lot of flexibility in the system. I think the size is perfect. An immense amount of school spirit resides in almost every student here.

Tiffany

Arkansas is just right. Its the big school, big football, active Greek life, big Sec school. However Arkansas is small enough to be personal and to meet really fun amazing people. People think its awesome i go to a big SEC school. college town.administration is really good. a lot of school pride.

Alex

There's a lot of variety and it's not behind in the times. The surrounding town is a bit small though.
