Sophomore: Harding University staffs their faculty with professional teachers that genuinely care about you and your academic outcome. They advertise the community found within the student body; in a honest documentation of observation, they’re completely right! Harding’s campus community, safety, and faculty are welcoming, caring, and make a difference in my life. I know they could make a difference in yours too!... Read 1,066 reviews

Senior: I think that John Brown University is an amazing place. The campus is beautiful! The buildings are super pretty and the natural aspect around the campus is absolutely stunning. There are amazing walking and biking trails around campus that are great for getting outdoors! It is a smaller university so it never feels too crowded and class sizes are great to be able to get to known your professor and feel a personal investment from the staff. Campus life is very engaging and super safe. It is not a very big party culture school but SGA does a good job in trying to engage everyone. Somethings that I would want to change about JBU is that I would like it if there were more meal options/ better food in the cafeteria. It is also hard because JBU is located in such a small town that there aren't many local things to do/ restaurants to eat at. It is nice the Siloam Springs is only around 30 minutes away from bigger cities so that way you could go to Rogers/Bentonville fairly easy to get that.... Read 493 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

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....

Senior: If I could say one thing about my experience at Arkansas Tech, it's that the environment as a whole has made it worthwhile. From the professors to the on-campus events and especially Jerry the Bulldog, it really has been an honor to be a part of it! I love the connections I've made throughout my years of being a student here. I've met some amazing human beings along the way along with some even better memories that I will cherish in the long run. I do feel that something that should change is that, there should be more diverse events and organizations for minorities on campus. I feel like as a minority myself, this would have been the cherry on top. With that being said, Heck Yeah, Tech Yeah!... Read 1,129 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 770 reviews

Niche User: I really enjoyed Williams' campus. I went on my first tour to Williams a few weeks ago which was a private tour with my family, a friend and their family, and myself. The campus was pretty, the chapel was beautiful, and everyone I met and spoke with was very friendly. After that visit I was interested so I signed up for their preview day! On the preview day, we took the same tour but we got to talk with some of the students and professors. They also held an academic/athletic panel in their gymnasium which was very cool. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Williams!... Read 100 reviews
