Fayetteville is an awesome town! My mom and I will have lived here for 10 years in August, and it has been an amazing experience. We have both met some very awesome people and have discovered a lot of fun things to do. Although it's mostly a college town, it is easy to find good food and entertainment in Fayetteville. Additionally, Fayetteville is close by a lot of other places with a lot of entertainment opportunities (Rogers, Bentonville, Branson, Tulsa) as well. The only problem with this small town is that the diversity is not very good. Fayetteville is a predominantly-white place, so I do not see a lot of people with my same skin color around. Overall, Fayetteville is and will forever remain one of the best places I will ever live.
I love Fayetteville. I attended the University of Arkansas for college and enjoyed every moment in Fayetteville. Even though it's a college town, there are many families and family friendly places. It seems like a large part of the town is liberal and accepting of others. There are also a lot of cool restaurants in town and in surrounding areas!
It's like being in a twilight zone. When I moved to Arkansas for the first time, I was expecting it to be a backwoods are with people that are super racist and closed minded. I just knew I was going to feel like an outsider, but honestly I've been pleasantly surprised. This area reminds me of a suburb of Dallas; eco-friendly, lots of different types of restaurants, a strip of bars, and family friendly areas. There's a good mix of franchise and local businesses.The Walmarts here are amazing, all the employees are so nice and helpful!There's also a free bus routes that take you all over the city which are very helpful if you do not have a car or want to save some gas money. The only down side i have found in Fayetteville is the Ethnic food aren't too good, but they are amazing in the city right next to ours, Springdale. Coming from living in Texas, I have been really loving it here! It's a bit more humid but its worth it for all the beautiful vegetation around.
