Review of Southern Arkansas University Main Campus
from Crossett, AR
Describe your college in three sentences.
Southern Arkansas University has a wonderful campus with friendly people. It's faculty truly cares about helping students with whatever they need. The Athletic Training Program is wonderful, also.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
It isn't and overwhelmingly big campus, which is good for students that don't want classes too large or too many people. Everyone is friendly, including the professors. The smaller teacher-to-student ratio helps a lot for those that want a closer relationship to professors.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are challenging, but not so hard you can't understand. Teachers are always willing to help you with any problems you may be facing.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is great- it gives you an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. The dorms are nice, plenty of room, clean, etc. It's nice to see a familiar face in a new class because you know that person from your dorm. The commons areas are nice in all the dorms, and the desk workers and RAs are really nice.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Blue and Gold Cafeteria has wonderful food all the time. There are also Grille Works, Chic-Fil-A and Subway that taste great.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are always Intramural Sports going on, there is the Mulerider Activity Center that has a full gym, track, and basketball court. On certain days there are Zumba and Yoga classes. There are usually plays being performed at the theater, and there's always some athletic event to go to.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
SAU has the 'tallest candle in the world'- at Christmas, the SAU belltower is lit up to look like a candle. The homecoming bon fire is always a fun tradition, as well as the homecoming activities during the week. There is a Family Weekend, where dorms compete in a Bed Race and there are other events for the family to observe.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Southern Arkansas University is great for Agriculture Majors, Business Majors, and Athletic Training Majors.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a club for almost every Major on SAU's campus. Students pursuing a certain major are encouraged to be part of those clubs and get to know other people in their same major. SAU offers several activities for students to participate in.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Though I am not participating in Greek Life myself, those that I am friends that have participated love it. You gain friends and family for life. SAU is very involved in Greek Life and doesn't allow unlawful activities to happen.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus police are always there to help. There are emergency phones allover all of the parking lots for you to use to call the police, and they patrol constantly. They will escort you if you don't feel safe walking from somewhere. They will also unlock your car if you have locked your keys in it, among other things they can do.
