Arkansas Tech University Top Questions

The worst thing about Arkansas Tech is the parking. It seems as if the faculty and off-campus students get all of the parking spots, while the people that live on-campus have to constantly struggle for spots.

The financial aid. My sophomore year I earned at 4.0 and applied for numerous scholarships and received none.

The administration does not use our money wisely. I have three teachers that have been in a temporary trailer for about 2 years now. Our school has updated our football field, which was ok to begin with. They have built new dorms but the housing system they use is ineffiecient. I had a friend who was a Senior Biology Major with a 4.0...and his scholarship paid for his housing. He signed up for one of the new dorms, but those were awarded to freshman, which are required to live on campus. Doesn't make sense.

The worst thing about ATU is how old some of the buildings are (but they're working on it), and the lack of things to do in the city and surrounding cities of Russellville.

Some of the housing facilities. Yes, there are three brand new halls, but the rest of the dorms are pretty much old and gross. Don't get me wrong, they're clean, it's just that they've been around for the hundred years the campus has been there (2009 is actually the hundredth year for ATU).

Trashy fraternity and sorority functions.

The worst thing would probably be the weather when it gets cold.

I consider the worse thing to be that there is not enough parking for the off campus students because while we are looking for a parking space we are late for class and if we park in the wrong area we get tickets.

There is a problem with smoking. The students are supposed to be 25 feet away from the entrances of the buildings, but not a lot of them comply to the rule. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and they don't do much about it.
