REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI previously went to Henderson State University, and attending class, but didn't really learn anything, and had no incentive to, as the professors didn't really care whether or not I succeeded at their establishment. Professors at UAM, however, are quite dedicated to their students, and I've been very interested in what I'm learning and getting along better with my professors.
Mykel from Rison, AR
University of Arkansas at Monticello is a great university in my opinion. There are many professors willing to help each and every student in need of help with their classes. Also, there are a great variety of groups and organizations available for the students here to help give the a better perspective of the major they are getting into which is helpful.
Emily from Hamburg, AR
The professors are wonderful and make sure you understand your assignments and work with you. The atmosphere is great, nice buildings and classes. They have a lot fun events to really help the students mingle!
Ashley from Monticello, AR
This is a wonderful school. The teachers are very supportive, and help to make sure that you learn what you need to in order to succeed. I enjoy being at this school.
Dametri from Memphis, TN
