University of Arkansas Top Questions

Great atmosphere and beautiful weather. Just right. Most people think its cool

Greek life

I LOVE the University of Arkansas! I think that it is the perfect size, and Fayetteville is great! There is so much school spirit and everyone LOVES the Razorbacks! Also, being involved in the Greek Community is awesome. It makes everything even more fun!

I like Arkansas, it's a good size. When I tell people that I go to school here, they react with maybe a little bit of surprise, just because I am from Oklahoma, and not very many people from my high school go here. When I am on campus, I spend a lot of time in the business building! I have classes there, I tutor there, and I go there to study after school. Fayetteville is definitely a college town. I don't really know how I feel about the Administration. I guess I don't have any specific complaints. Controversy? Like what... we all get along here! I think there is a lot of school pride. Everyone likes going to athletic events, it's a popular thing to do. I think something unusual about Arkansas is that you get your name sandblasted into a sidewalk after you graduate, and it's cool, because a lot of my family has graduated from here, and I can go find their names. An experience I will always remember, hmmmm, that would probably be joining the sorority.

Campus is beautiful! too small don't know where it is memorial hall what college town? lots of school pride unusual-old main, senior walk

The best thing about Arkansas is the friends I've made. I would change the amount of excessive drinking that goes on pretty much daily. The size of U of A is pretty good, but it could stand to be a litle larger. People make fun of me for going to Arkansas because of the typical hillbilly/inbreeder Arkansas stereotype. I spend most of my time on top of the hill, in my dorm, and at the KD house. Fayetteville is definitely a college town - GO HOGS! I think Arkansas administration needs to do more about the rapes that occur on campus. The biggest recent controversy I was personally involved in was an unfortunate incident with the paint wars and senior walk. There is definitely a ton of school pride. Arkansas is not very unusual. I will always remember going through Recruitment. The most frequent complaints at Pomfret (my dorm) are about the food and the internet.

The best thing about this school is the environment. I think this school is just right. When I tell people I go to school here they seemed suprised. It is defenitely a college town. There is a lot of school pride. The only thing I would change would be the cold weather.

The best thing about the University of Arkansas is that not everyone that attends school here is from Arkansas. I'd change the parking situation. I like the size of our school. I love freshman dorm life.

sports are really cool here. everyone gets really into it. people from the community come out for it. the school is perfect size. i spend the majority of my time off campus and at my fraternity house. there's tons of school pride. we call the hogs every chance we get.

The people by far is the best thing about being in Arkansas. The hospitality and the mannerisms are amazing. My school is just right in size. They tell me I am going to be a red neck hillbilly because I am from California.

the best thing about arkansas is that it isn't too big or too small. its in a beautiful place and there are just the right number of students here. when i tell people that i go to arkansas they usually ask WHY?! i actually spend most of my time in my dorm with my friends, although i do go off campus quite a bit to go and spend time with the people that i know that live off campus. luckily everything is relatively close because fayetteville isn't too too big so it's not a big deal. fayetteville is a completely college based town. everything is razorbacked out and the community is so supportive and gung-ho on the college and sports. there is TONS of school pride. i feel like once you are a razorback fan, you are a die hard razorback fan until you die.

The best thing about Arkansas is the scenery. Being from Dallas, I am used to billboards and skyscrapers and traffic at any time of the day. When I got to Arkansas, I couldn't believe how pretty the hills of Northwest Arkansas are. The school is large, in my opinion, but definitely not too big to handle. You can get to any of the academic buildings on campus walking in about 10 minutes. In between classes I like to go to Starbucks on campus and get a frappuccino or to one of the computer labs to pass the time. There are computers and printers in almost every building, so it's easy to find one! The town (Fayetteville) is definitely a college town, and also one of the big cities in Northwest Arkansas. There has been a lot of development in the past 10 years, so there is a lot of great dining, shopping, and entertainment. Dickson street runs into the school and is the spot for the weekend (or any day after classes!) Dickson street has bars, food, shopping all in one. There are different drink specials at the bars on different nights and some restaurants are open until after the bars close so you can get food to go before you head home. There is a lot of school pride at Arkansas. When you first get to school in August, buy your student football tickets ASAP because they go fast! It's only $6 a season and a great way to bond with new or old friends and have fun. Game day is crazy on campus because police start to block off streets and people are tailgating in all the parking lots. There are a lot of traditions for the students during the games, and they catch on fast. The most recognizable one is to call the hogs.

Arkansas is a huge school with a WIDE variety of activites and opportunities. Anything can be pursued starting here as long as you know who to ask. If I had to change anything, I guess I would change some people's attitudes, because there tend to be some people here that are really close minded and that doesn't help the university or them in the long run. I think the size of our school is just right, because I can see my friends randomly all across campus during the day, but if I want to avoid some creeper I totally can do that as well. People react differently depending on their age and where they're from when you tell them you go to Arkansas. Most responses include yelling WHOO PIG at me and asking me if I call the hogs regularly. Some of my peers from Oklahoma make fun of me for going to a hick college, but besides that I get pretty good responses. Arkansas has HUGE school spirit and all of Arkansas supports us. Everyone loves the hogs, and it's awesome to be a part of something like what our school and our town here in Fayetteville has going.
