Junior: When I toured the UofA I immediately fell in love with the campus because it reminded me of hallmark movies, therefore, it felt like a warm and welcoming place. I loved every minute, and I truly made the best decision to attend. I decided to go through the recruitment process, where I rushed ZETA. I have always been someone who is very involved and wants to be a leader in the community. Thus, this led me to be on our sisterhood committee and I now serve on our 2023 recruitment team. The sole reason I loved Arkansas was how amazing their nursing program was. That being said, it is extremely competitive. I am an individual who is hardworking, passionate and determined. I set goals and I work very hard to achieve them. However, despite maintaining a 4.0 with challenging courses like Ethics, Anatomy, and Physiology, I was not admitted into the nursing program. At first, I was devastated, but perseverance and self-growth will only make me stronger. I hope to be accepted this July. Woo Pig!... Read 3,605 reviews

Senior: I adore my school! It really feels like home, and I have so much fun while also learning more than I ever have because of the rigorous academics. My freshman year was virtual because of covid but my professors did everything in their power to make sure it was a successful year, and they are always incredibly accommodating regarding situations outside of school. Our motto, unto the whole person, is the perfect encapsulation of what it means to be a student at Hendrix.... Read 490 reviews

Senior: OBU is a tremendous school. It’s small, but you still meet new people all the time. The professors are amazing! They really work to make you learn the concepts they are teaching. The Business school is top notch and offers a wide array of classes. The president of the university is very visible and involved with the students. They have many resources for student success. They are always creating cool things to do on campus and even off. Campus trips. The athletic programs are top notch, especially football. The only downside is the town is not that great and needs some better restaurants.... Read 570 reviews

Sophomore: Coming to Central Arkansas was one of the best life choices. Along with making amazing friends and memories, I have greatly enjoyed the academic aspect of college. Most of my days I wake up excited and ambitious about attending class and have loved my professors and their commitment to my education. The accredited programs have really allowed me to put full faith in the university leading me to academic success, most of the professors that I have been in class with have taught in a very effective way that allows me to truly comprehend the material from one semester to the next. On top of being a student, being a cheerleader brings a whole different aspect of college to life. Being able to represent my university and become to connected to much of the student body is rewarding both in and out of the classroom. The sense of campus community and support at the university is what makes me proud to be a bear. Overall, my college experience is unforgettable, bearing many, many blessings!... Read 1,720 reviews

Alum: I spent 4 years at Lyon and I had a great experience! I love how close the community was and how helpful the professors were. I went through a few difficult patches while attending Lyon college and each professor was understanding and willing to help where they can. I have since moved on to graduate school which has proven to be a rather easy experience which I believe is a true testament to how good Lyons academics are. I recommend Lyon college to everyone as it gives a great college experience and prepares students for whichever field they wish to enter.... Read 274 reviews

Alum: As an alumnus of Arkansas State University, I had a fantastic time there. Everyone I met was extremely helpful, and they cared about my future outside of university. It was a rewarding experience! The professors had real-world knowledge and experience, which made for a more realistic learning environment. I am honored to have graduated from the university, and I will continue to support their efforts to provide students with the best opportunities to succeed in the classroom and in life, both in person and online....

Sophomore: UofO is a good place for students of diverse backgrounds and offers quality education through hands-on learning experiences to complement classroom instruction. Students have opportunities for internships, research projects, service-learning, study abroad programs, and other experiential learning activities to apply their knowledge and gain practical skills. One of the key advantages of attending the University of the Ozarks is its low student-to-faculty ratio which helps the university foster a close-knit and supportive learning environment. The campus life is extremely nice as students of diverse cultures and backgrounds get to live together and forge friendships that last a life-time. However, one thing I like to see change is the number of African students who get the opportunity to study at this highly esteemed institution. I think it would be wonderful to increase some African great minds on campus, and I am sure they bring rich cultures which are an integral part of campus life.... Read 290 reviews

Freshman: The University of Arkansas - Fort Smith has been an amazing college so far. The campus is quiet, well-maintained, and peaceful. The RAs and the RD are extremely nice and helpful and do their best to solve whatever problem arises. There are many clubs to join and many opportunities to get involved with campus and future employers. I have ADHD and dyscalculia, and I required a little extra help with math, and my algebra professor had no issues giving me the extra assistance and time I needed. The only thing I'd like to see change is the food options on campus. Many students can't go home during the weekends, and the cafeteria isn't open those days. The food in the campus center closes early, but a lot of people have conflicting schedules and not enough money to go eat somewhere else. I think the campus should have the Campus center vendors stay open longer or have the cafeteria be open for a few hours on the weekends.... Read 769 reviews
