The campus is small, yet it feels much like home. Meeting new people is not an issue, because everyone is friendly. The atmosphere overall, is very welcoming.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
- Go to class.
- Have a little fun, but not too much.
- There are always events going on, on campus. Go out and be social.
- Classes run at moderate pace. There's not too much stress when it comes to the flow of class work.
- Chicken Wednesday is the best day to go the Caf.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
UWA has been said to be all about the Nursing Program. True enough, the school takes pride and dedication towards the program, but the instructors throughout other fields care just as much. UWA makes it their priority to ensure that all students succeed in their classes, and that we all meet our program requirements.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I currently live in Selden, which is a traditional, all-girls dorm. This building is currently the cheapest campus living. Right next door are the boys' dorms, Spieth Hall. Next year, Fall 2012, these dorms will be closed. Our campus is now in the process of finishing construction to the new dorms, Gilbert Hall, also known as Freshman Hall. Upperclassmen have five other living arrangements, as well as the choice to live off-campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Caf, short for cafeteria, is the main eating quarters on campus. The Caf offers buffet style eating, and allows students to have several choices of food. Inside the building there is a sub shop, Tiger Alley. In the library resides the school's very own coffee shop, Java City. Javalanches are quite famous around here.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The Greek organizations are always having social events. Attending sports events with friends is always FUN! Many off-campus students have their own events, and on-campus students are always invited. UWA has an outdoor swimming pool and a very nice fitness center.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UWA is totally affordable. *View the school website for more details.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Almost everyone on campus knows about sitting under the tree. Outside of Selden and Spieth are sitting areas, in which many students come out and socialize.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UWA is a great school for students who are from small towns, and aren't quite ready to make that big transformation into big cities. The campus isn't too big, so if you want to be able to get your classes just by walking, you won't have a issue at all. UWA is also a great university for students who enjoy a small classroom setting and may need a closer relationship with their instructor in order to better succeed.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
LOTS!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus police are always around to make sure students follow campus rules. To ensure safety at the dorms, UWA has campus security guards.
