University of Arkansas Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about University of Arkansas?

Advising! The advising system is insane. At the U of A, professors double as advisers. That means that , most of the time, they don't know much more about course requirements than you do. Your best bet is to search online for course requirements, visit your adviser, and then visit a general adviser for your college, or in my case, for the Honors College. The Honors College adviser is a full-time adviser, and he is super helpful.

There are many good things about the University of Arkansas. The most frustrating is ovbious, the hills! One of the nicknames for the University is the hill. It seems like every street is going straight up. The first week of class is the worst, your calves hurt pretty bad by the end of the week. If it was not for the hills walking to class would not be so bad.

Parking is the most frustrating thing at the University but the transit system does a great job to make up for it.

The most frustrating thing is that when you call, you always get transferred to someone who knows nothing, who transfers you to another person who knows nothing, who in turn transfers you as well.

The most frustrating thing about our campus is the unwillingness of many students to think outside the box and go over and beyond what they are told by teachers. Instead of investing in their classes in order to learn as much as possible, students are often very grade-focused, ultimitely giving them a much more limited college experience. There are some great learning oppurtunities for the few students who are interested, but many others compmlain about being boerd or frustrated by pointless classes.
