Nope.
To some extent. Not all of the student body follows it.
Sometimes
Not at all
no...but there definately are a few rednecks among the bunch
Not always
no
More most people
of course not
No
Not at all!!! We have very strong traditions illustrated in our tailgating, senior walk, and alumni support!
some parts of arkansas, but not all. Northwest Arkansas much more developed than the South part of Arkansas.
No.
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.
Some people may fit the stereotype, but not all.
Some are. We do love the hogs, the hill is good and bad, I don't think we party a lot. We party enough
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.
Friendly and Southern- Yes
The one about everyone being counrty is not but there are quit a few.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Not at all!
To some degree, but for the most part...NO!
only for some people
Not at all.
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.
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!
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.
Of course!
Not about everyone.
I think we have a high freshman dropout rate, but we also have one of the best business schools in the nation. Top 25
For the most part.
somewhat. alot of focus is around fraternities, and sororities. thus, lots of parties occure. but there are also many many independents who do lots of other activities other than parties
I can assure you that you will not see a horse on campus if you come here, all fancy motorized cars for us Razorbacks. I can also assure you you will not see any more hillbillies at Arkansas than you would at any southern University. The school provides a quality education that not just Arkansans value, but many Texans, Oklahomans and other out-of-staters. Regarding being a big school, it is true in some aspects. There are some classes, especially the elementary levels, that are large lectures, but in most classes there are enough sections that the class sizes are quite small. I have three classes right now that have less than 15 people.
No, all of the Universities Sporting program are paid for by the athletic department and ticket sales. Arkansas has some of the best stadiums and arenas and boast a high attendance at games.
For the most part, there are several students who come from the country and could be classified as "hick", but the majority of the students are not what others think U of A is like. As for the fraternity and sororities, you could check a good bundle of them off on your list of what you think Greeks are like. Most do fit the stereotype that is already made for Arkansas.
NO, Greek life is a great way to get involved. Greek life encourages philanthropic activities and is a fun, sociable way to get involved.
not really
No these stereotypes are not accurate.
NO
While this is true for a lot of girls, it's not true for everyone. I don't drink, and I have very good grades.
pretty much
Yes
NO!!!
