University of Arkansas Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Arkansas? Why?

Lauren

The focus on athletics seems to be much more important than academics. The school is tearing down parking lots to expand the football program and now many people have to park miles from campus just to go to class. The entire environment here is revolving around sports and games. I did not come here for sports. I came here for academics and to receive a good education. My money is going toward these athletic renovations instead of towards what happens in the classrooms. That is not where my money should be going.

The worst thing about my school is the amount of hills. There are severly high hills that are hard to walk up especially when trying to get to class. I know that college requires alot of walking, but the hills make it that much harder.

Sierra

By using the word "worse" I understand that I should choose something among my University's facilities, resources, and overall system of operation that I found particularily unconvenient. The truth is, I love everything about my University, but if I had to choose, I would only wish that the cafeteria's could be open longer during the weekends so that we may take advantage of our meal plans and that the books would be cheaper or their buyback value higher.

Allison

The worst thing about U of A is the hills. The campus is very hilly and it will keep you in shape walking in between classes. You don't really think its that big of a deal when you are visiting, but then when you walk the hills every day, it is intense!

Sheena

The parking! I wish there were closer parking options for people who live off campus.

Morgan

The worst thing about my school is that some students don't stay focused as much as they should. For example, they choose not to go to class because they're tired, or stayed up all night, or are just too lazy to get up and go to class. Staying focused is one of the main ways to succeed in their lives.

Molly

The worst thing about the University of Arkansas is probably the weather. Since you usually have to walk everywhere on campus or take the bus, weather can take it's toll. In Arkansas, one day the weather will be sunny and beautiful, the next day cold and miserable. In the winter, it tends to snow quite a bit in Fayetteville. This means that you have to treck to class in the freezing weather and possible two feet of snow. I love this school, but the weather is an annoying thing that every student and faculty member has to deal with.

Cha'koya

I wouldn't consider it a really terrible thing. But what should be improved is the amount of diversity at our school. It definetely needs to be more of a melting pot.

Courtney

The most disappointing thing about this school is over-abundance of uncontrolled fraternity parties.

Briauna

I honestly can't say anything about my college. It is a very nice environment to be around in and there's nothing wrong with it.
