The classes are very rigorous.

The best part of this school is the academics. I have made lasting connections with professors here, and the best part is they all really want students to succeed beyond the classroom. Most professors know student names, especially students within their own departments. The most important thing to remember is to get involved early on with your chosen department, it will pay off in the end. My professors have helped me find jobs, internships, apply for graduate school and find scholarships. Not all classes are great. The core requirement classes can be boring and difficult at times. When a professor has a class of more than 300 students, they don't always have time to help those student individually. It is best to go to these professors early in the semester if you have problems with the subject. The university offers a large number of interesting classes. I have taken classes in Multicultural Europe, Native Americans in Film (this class was taught by the Dean of my college), and Children's Science Fiction. The best way to find those classes is to look on department websites or ask professors. There are often flyers posted for more classes outside of department offices too. In the journalism department, a class was posted about Journalism as Literature, in the class the students read Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe. I owe a lot of my success as a college student to the Journalism department in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. These professors all have "real world" experience and they want students to walk out of the classroom and into a newsroom without feeling any shock or panic. All the classes are geared to learning job skills. The best part is most of the professors will work hard to help students find jobs before they graduate.

yeah professor will know your name. Professor are available during their office hours, you can ask about something or just to have a conversation with your professor outside the class Most students study at the library. You can find some competition in some courses, but you may not feel any competition in others.

My professors know my face and my name. The classes are small enough for everyone to get to know the professors personally, and the professors always make themselves available to meet with us. I'm a student in the Sam M. Walton College of Business. The classes are challenging and taught by some of the best professors in the nation.

It doesn't matter what your attitude about class is you'll find a soulmate. If you want to be all Type A then there's a group who will cheer and push you on. Delve deep into any subject and you can find someone to converse with. Social circles are huge in the sense that the 6 degrees of seperation really play out well here, someone you know will know someone you want to know and more than happy to introduce. I bring up the social here because it really plays a big part in the academic success. The more support you surround yourself with the better off you will be.

The education itself for this school is about what you would expect out of Arkansas education, at a level where everyone should be able to pass if they show up. There is a huge presents of major corporations on campus, namely Wal*mart and Tyson. They provide enormous amounts of money for the latest technology for classrooms, but if your college isn't sponsored by one of them, you are lucky to have markers for the white board.
