The University of Arkansas is beautiful like no other campus I've encountered. Since first moving up to Fayetteville, I've been able to witness the leaps and bounds the University has taken to grow quickly with the quickly evolving world of technology. Being able to communicate with professors quickly online, doing completely anonymous reviews of the professors through a survey program, and using a google platform for the new email system are great improvements!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Prospective students should understand that this university is a competitive one. Going to class, working hard, and participating in discussions are more important that many students realize when first arriving at the University. But the biggest tip I can give is to be in shape when moving to campus- it may only take ten minutes to get to your class, but this is one campus where you will be walking uphill both ways!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
After trying out several different majors, I can honestly say that all the programs I have been in have been challenging and for the most part, enjoyable. I have been blessed to enjoy very many competent and excited professors in every degree plan I've been in: architecture, art, education, history, and hospitality management. Wherever you go, you will encounter professors who enjoy what they do and get you excited about learning while still making it a difficult, yet attainable class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I lived on campus for the first two years of my undergraduate career and loved every minute of it. I stayed in the same dorm building two years in a row (Yocum), and was blessed to meet many people that I still consider to be friends. The RDs and RAs are vigilant in keeping students active and excited about living on campus with all different kinds of activities, both on and off campus
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Being in the hospitality program allows me to learn of the steps the University is taking to improve the dining on campus. After learning about certain dining expansions and additions that will be happening within the next year, I'm very excited to see how the campus will look in a couple of years.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The great thing about the University of Arkansas campus is that it's in the middle of town, so many things are within walking distance. Adding in the fact that Fayetteville is in the Ozark Mountains is wonderful if you enjoy any type of outdoor activity
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The senior walk on campus is one of the most outstanding traditions I've encountered at the University. Everybody who graduates will get their name engraved on the sidewalks on campus. It's a ton of fun for students to find friends and family members engraved on sidewalks all over campus. And you can't forget those moments calling the hogs!
