I knew college was going to be hard, and I was afraid I wouldn't learn very much because of this. I was terrified of being left behind in my classes. In reality, this is not how the University of Arkansas conducts their education. The professors here are extremely skilled in teaching students. They make difficult material well understood for students like me. Also, the university has tons of tutoring places at all times during the semester. All of the tutors are extremely knowledgeable and courteous. I don't feel nervous to get help from anyone. Gregson Hall has tutoring for almost every subject. This is very convenient for me because it is right across the road. There is a quality writing center and math labs for tutoring and test taking. All of these places are wonderfully staffed and comfortable. I actually surprise myself when I think about how much I am learning at the University of Arkansas.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I absolutely love this university's pride and spirit for every aspect of college life. The football games are insanely crazy! So many fans pack the stadium on home games and root for the Razorbacks! The Pep-rallys for football games are a blast! They are held the night before home games in the Greek Theater. Thousands of students attend and go crazy to pump up their hogs. There is all ways something to do here. There is Hper building building which is the gym. It has everything you can think of for participating in sports and working-out. Intramural sports are always having tournaments for the students to stay active. I highly recommend any student at the U of A to check them out. Also, there are numerous registered student organizations for one to become apart. Going Greek is another opportunity for one to take advantage. I never realized how many Greek organizations there actually are.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The University of Arkansas is not that bad on tuition, especially for in-state tuition. With FAFSA and the Arkansas Lottery scholarship, the cost of attendance almost seems like nothing. This was very appealing for me because I didn't even have to get a student loan. Also, the university has several scholarship opportunities.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tip for prospective students would be to start everything early. I recommend applying for the University of Arkansas in September. It's not hard, and the admission staff is there to help every step of the way. Also, take advantage of the scholarship opportunities! The priority deadline for scholarship applications is early November. Making this deadline will give you the best chance at receiving one. When one is a junior and senior in high school, one needs to participate in as many things as possible. Involvement looks great on scholarship applications. When one actually begins the freshman semester, I strongly recommend getting involved in every opportunity that comes one's way. This is a great way to meet new people and learn new things. Most of all, enjoy you time at the University of Arkansas. It truly is a great environment.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The University of Arkansas is great for diverse and open-minded people. I honestly believe that any personality could thrive in this atmosphere.
