Though the Art Department was small and old when I attended I still felt the department was fairly strong. I had talented professors that were working and showing in galleries as they taught so their advice was current. I was able to go to them for advice and they did help. I still keep in touch with them about art shows and such.

Tech is a great school. It has a bad reputation for being filled with rednecks, but that isn't true. I am not a redneck and my roommate is from Japan so she is not a redneck. Obviously there a a few, but most students are not like that. Tech has some great academic programs and they grow every year. The students are friendly and overall the students love their choice of school. Most of the staff is always willing to work with you. The classes are the perfect size because it is easy to get to know your professors.
The campus is great. The library is one of the most technologically advanced in the state. The buildings for the most part are nice. Some of the dorms are kind of old but there are plenty of nice dorms too.
I would reccomend Arkansas Tech to students looking for a nice school to go to. It isn't a big school, but it's not so small that everyone knows everyone. It is easy to get involved on campus too.

ATU is a great school. The faculty and staff treat you as an individual. It is clear that you are not just a number or a person to get money more from. All of the professors are required to hold office hours and they are in their office during those times 99.9% of the time. They only time they're not there is if they're gone to a conference (which they normally tell you ahead of time that they won't be there) or if they went to the copier. The professors are very willing to answer questions for students. The main thing that sticks out in my mind about the school is the individualism. I am so happy that I chose this school. I've received and excellent education and enjoyed the entire experience.
My advice for being successful in college is to work hard now so that you are prepared and work on time management. College is challenging, but there's more free time which can be used to your advantage if you manage your time. Don't go and expect it to be one big party. Balance your time between schoolwork and extracirciular activities. There's plenty of time for it all if you manager your time. Also, apply early for everything so that you have a better chance of getting your choices (housing, classes, etc.) ATU is a great place to go to school.

Not so bright
I think Arkansas Tech is not a very good school, compared to other schools they are lacking in the technology area in some departments. Some of the faculty are racists and there isn't a diversity of people on the campus. Also, did you know how many black professors teach their...hmm...just a thought. I first-hand experienced racism towards me and as well as other students to the point where our work was disrupted. I had a hard time dealing with some of the faculty as well as other students having a hard time as well. Most people from arkansas (not minority) enjoy this school but most people from out of state usually transfer out the next semester. I did transfer to a bigger university in arkansas (as well as other students from ATU) and It was so much better. If your a minority I would definitely consider another school.
