Arkansas Tech University in my book rates about 7 out of 10. The campus and people are great and classes are small, the teachers really get to know their students. However, the accessibility features are outdated and need improving.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My best tip for any student attending ATU would be to buy a good pair of rain boots, the campus tends to flood when it rains. Also, get to know some of the upperclassmen in your field of study that way you can find out what kind of classes you need and what the teachers are like.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The courses are tough but the teachers are very helpful. The library aids are very knowledgable when helping you find a book or article for your classes.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I give dorm life a 3 out of 5 just because I didn't stay in a dorm myself but from everyone I have talked to they really enjoy the dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria isn't the greatest but the Bas-Tech food court is amazing! You don't just have boring cafeteria food but more options plus they have a take out lunch and a Starbucks!! Which makes it convenient and perfect for finals!!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
They have numerous activities set up by the Student Activity Board such as movie nights, concerts and of course homecoming activities. Students can been seen almost all year long enjoying outdoor activities like frisbee golf, bike riding and tossing around footballs and baseballs. All of which are free with your student id.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Most of the professors at ATU have their doctorate and when I leave at the end of the semester I really feel as if I have learned something. The teachers make learning interesting instead of just nap time for the students!!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Best for international and non-traditional students because of the cost.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many sororities and fraternities throughout ATU.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I feel totally safe when I'm on campus. They have made many new security measures that make the campus even more safe. The campus police patrol almost constantly and they have added additional safety phones around campus. They will even escort you to your vehicle at night if you feel unsafe.
