The University of Arkansas @ Pine Bluff (UAPB) deserves a high grade of 8 out of 10 on its smooth admissions procedures for students. It deserves an 8 for its research provisions @ the library for students. It deserves an 8 on how it allows the student government to be effective in the entire scheme of promoting and implementing ideas for us.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
You want to make early requests for services you need, like preferred roommates or extra space, because many students have made contact for a long time as they wait anxiously to get in UAPB. Also, request a calendar and pay attention to important dates for Orientations and workshops for new students. Recruiters @UAPB go the whole mile and some more- so I'll give them an 8 for their tips also to interested students.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I find that you get what you put into each class. Teachers @UAPB will help you through your work, but they do not do it for you. They encourage you to do it, persistently. Classes require a lot of reading, memorizing, and a lot of written interpretation. Tests come about real often. In some of my classes, students are expected to know and do (research) above and beyond on that unit, but there is often a bonus for this extra mile. Programs such as, The McNairs Scholars Program gives UAPB's academic platform a big boost. Students receive direction, guidance and stiff but meaningful assignments that are academically challenging to them. I'll give the system a big ole' 8.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Comfortable, safe, new and exciting are words that describe my dorm experiences @UAPB, so far. Although we share many items, it is still wise to leave no one in your room without being there yourself. We are on a smoke- free university campus, so some problems (mainly like careless fires) are unlikely to happen. Our dorms have computer rooms and lounges. These are the real escort for us students who are seriously pursuing an education. These services along with kitchen facilities put a smile on our faces each time we get home (to the dorm, I mean). I'll give our dorms a great 8!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
It is a subjective view, but I have to give you what you ask for, here. Our Southern Cooks provide an array of delicious foods in or mess hall everyday. We have snack bars for sandwich-type dining available on campus, and variety food and drink machines in handy locations . I'd have to give our food and dining facilities another 8.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Students can enjoy game rooms, speciality dances, plain ole' sock hops, talent shows, fashion shows, Greek participation or observation (whichever), all kinds of sports like tennis, and etc., youth ministry involvement/fun, contests in specific areas, fitness activities... lots of fun going on around here @ UAPB. Fun gets an 8 on my rating scale.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The biggest truth I could tell you is that while UAPB is predominately Black, so am I, and I love it that way. The social life aspect expressed by many students is that they enjoy knowing so many of the same ethnic people as they are, who are about something really good, really serious, really aspiring. In other words, it is great to be around people who are not absent - mindedly running their lives with foolish interests and non-productive lifestyles and hustles. It just makes us proud.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Whereas, many schools have abandoned the idea of giving thanks to a higher image than ourselves, UAPB assemblies and gatherings traditionally begin with giving thanks and expressing thanks for what already is. We have a fishery department. the aquatic exhibit there is phenomenal.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The biology department is equipped with master minds who have provided an excellent foundation for many graduates that have become health professionals: nurses, doctors, dentists, and so forth. Students interested in the sciences will appreciate this institution. There is a rich heritage of teachers from our school. The education Department is a great place for those who want to go into that field.
Students wanting contemporary skills can appreciate our Home Economics/ Child Care/ Life Skills Areas. There are more to apply, but little freedom to do so in this brief assignment/ writing today.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Tops! UAPB offers a whole smorgasbord of clubs and activities. The list would be nearly infinite. The sweet inspirations of purpose and resolve, however, allows the students multi challenges and opportunities of participation. I feel that it is more important to address that, rather than to name the affiliations and activities. Yes, the many clubs and activities allow students an independence that is most valuable. An independence to choose and to participate, an independence to identify with others on a college level, to compete on a college level, and to enjoy as college student in a safe and supervised setting.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
UAPB has it- Greek life! It is diversified and exciting. Greek life is the nucleus for many smart and interested students who work hard and join these organizations. For us observers, it is it is an emotional charge to see the Greeks perform, and to attend their activities.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
This is an important facet. We have excellent security. These safe guards are in the forms of the presence of security, at all times on and around campus, excellent telephone and emergency tactics and systems in place, and the watchful eyes of designated personnel in our dorms and other buildings.
