University of Arkansas Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school is the recurring theme of students' tuition being used to fund additional construction projects. It creates a cycle - they take out a loan and incur debt for new construction, students' tuition goes up. Once the project completes and the debt is repayed, the process starts over, but at no point does tuition go back down. I'm frustrated by the fact that the academic institutions as a whole view students as sources of income instead of individuals seeking to gain knowledge.

The most frustrating thing that I have noticed about my school so far is the excessive expenses such as parking stickers and orientation fees.

The most frustrating thing at the University of Arkansas is that the entire campus is on hills!

I don't believe there's anything entirely frustrating here.

Teacher's on tenure don't teach as well as they once did.

Sometimes I feel like the classes are too large for me to properly learn the materials and my professor is foreign.

The financial aid office. I have done a lot of research and spent a lot of time researching scholarships and assuring my school is paid for, I have contacted my financial aid advisor several times and she is very difficult to recieve help from or very unable to answer many questions.

Not being able to get into certain classes as a lower-classmen is very irritating. Higher-classmen have the ability to choose classes earlier than lower-classmen. Also, a higher GPA grants earlier appointments to choose classes. This system does test diligence though, making it a competition to recieve earlier appointment dates.

The most frustrating thing is that they focus the campus mostly on the fraternaties and sororoties. A lot of the school is made up of them, and I feel they get a lot of the attention here at the University. These students think they should get everything handed to them, which is wrong.

The shift to a more technological campus makes many of the experience slow and confusing.
