I think I will always remember the good times and friends I have made while being in a fraternity.

I love Arkansas. Coming from Oklahoma, everyone expected me to go to OU or OSU, so people are surprised that I came here. I love my school, and wouldn't change anything about it. I love the fact that everyone who goes here, currently or previously, are strong Hog fans. You can almost always find a stranger walking through walmart that isn't embarrassed to call those hogs, believe me, I've found them. It's an all around good school, and I really feel like I'm learning things.

The best thing about Arkansas is that it is first and foremost a place where education is the most important thing, but having fun comes in a close second. One thing that I would change is the parking arrangement. Honestly, if you're not willing to pay $300/ year than you are going to have quite the hike to your dorm. When I tell people I'm going to Arkansas, being from Arkansas, most people aren't surprised, although many people assume it's easier than it really is. I spend most of my time on campus at my fraternity house. Greek life is a huge part of the experience at U of A, but the good thing is it isn't essential to enjoy your time in college. Fayetteville is an amazing college town. It has all the mystique of the small town, with its town square and street lined with local restaurants and bars. It also has all of the aspects of a big town, with several movie theaters, several WalMarts, and a good mall.

The University of Arkansas has a beautiful campus and is rich in history. One thing I would change is the parking situation on campus. The University is a division I school but is quite small compared to other schools with only 18,000 total undergrad and graduate students. People from Arkansas and surrounding states usually agree that Arkansas is one of the leading universities in the region with some of the most advanced facilities. I spend most of my time on campus in the dorms or in class. On the weekends there is no shortage of parties and other activities. Being a wet campus promotes the party atmosphere. Fayetteville is definitely a college town with Bars running up and down Dixon Street and on the square, there are plenty of liquor stores and 18 and up clubs too. The Arkansas administration is dedicated to the advanced development of the University and the well being of the students. The biggest recent controversy has been the tobacco ban going into effect next year, the first in the country for any Flagship university. There is a lot of school pride on and off campus and Arkansas has some of the most supportive alumni around. The most frequent student complaints include parking, housing, and the dining halls.

School Spirit- Arkansas has excellent school spirit, EVERYONE calls the Hogs it is what U of A is known for. I don't think i would change anything and i do not think it is too large or too small. It fits me perfectly. When i tell people i go to U of A they mostly say, "Oh so your a Hog, Do you yell Pig Soooie?" When i am on campus, i spend most my time in my dorm room, friends dorm rooms, union, or at my sorority house. Fayetteville is defiantly a college town, it does have more to do than other college towns. We have a street known as Dickson street with cute shops, bars, and restaurants. Everyone loves to hang out there! The only complaint i hear about the school the most would have to be from the student who live in the dorms, they seem to always complain about the cafeteria food, but thats a given they are away from there home cooked meals that they are used to having. One experience i will always remember will be going through Greek Rush. It was a crazy time, but also great. I met so many wonderful girls, it is how i met my Best friends today!

Bethany

The best thing about the University of Arkansas is the laid back community. There is a high emphasis on performing well academically, but there is a lot of flexibility in the system. I think the size is perfect. An immense amount of school spirit resides in almost every student here.

Tiffany

Arkansas is just right. Its the big school, big football, active Greek life, big Sec school. However Arkansas is small enough to be personal and to meet really fun amazing people. People think its awesome i go to a big SEC school. college town.administration is really good. a lot of school pride.

Alex

There's a lot of variety and it's not behind in the times. The surrounding town is a bit small though.
