Get the HELL out while you still can.. i grew up wanting to be a razorback as half my family went here but i am from an out of state resident. It is my first semester here and i hate it... there is nothing really to do but drink if you can find where people are drinking... my frat is gay everyone is retarded, academically and no one has motivation to do anything but what pisses be off is that arkansas thinks they are the SHIT HERE... any out of state person laughs at this school.. its a joke trying to steal your money... i hate this place i will be attending LSU or Florida next semester... plus football sucks this year haha its an all around joke here

U of A is a gorgeous campus, and a great place to be for outdoorsy people like me. But, the social aspect of college is even more important, and that is why I am transferring back to my home state. IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE GREEK LIFE, GOOD LUCK MAKING FRIENDS. The greek life here rules the school, it is bullsh*t. Everyone dresses the same it is like a cult. I lucked out and found a few good friends, but we have trouble meeting people. And the party scene here is lame, it is so hard to find things to do at night if you are not greek. It is very divided racially too. I am so happy I am leaving the U of A, but am disappointed because the natural beauty here is breathtaking.

It's the Harvard of Arkansas, if you intend on living and working in Arkansas at a high paying job, the UofA is the place to go. Smallest SEC school, with a Tier 1 Ranking. In comparison schools like Ole Miss or South Carolina are Tier 3. At least half the school is from Texas, many of which are obnoxious, arrogant, and drive hummers. Native Arkansans are not too fond of Texas and Texans in general. The running joke on campus is Texans that get rejected from the University of Texas-Austin, come to the UofA, and it's in many instances true. I'm from New York and loved my time at Arkansas. The people here are so nice. Also, Arkansas may be pretty remote, however the people here love road trips and with Little Rock, Kansas City, and Tulsa within less than 3 hours, and Memphis, Dallas, and St. Louis within 5, you will have many fun weekends, not to mention the awesome camping, hiking, and bike trails all over.Lastly, with the creation of the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery the student population is growing enormously...this year's incoming freshman class is the biggest on record. This is a good and bad thing. Good because with more students/graduates the university will gain more recognition, bad because the campus and Fayetteville is fairly small, so crowding is bound to happen. Also, this school is easily one the most well funded schools in the country with all of the money Walmart, JB Hunt, Tyson, and other major corporations and alumni pour into the school each year. In the time I've been here, there have been 3 new buildings constructed, a new parking deck, and student apartment complex owned by the university.
