Love going to the University of Arkansas, I'm from Dallas and have lots of friends here plus new friends I've met through my sorority and classes.I'm a finance major and the Walton College of Business does a fantastic job of getting us ready for our careers through interview/resume workshops, and real world experience. You should apply!!

I would encourage you to not go here. Don’t wast time, money, or your personal worth and character attending the University of Arkansas and the people apart of it.

its alright academically but socially it really sucks
Overall 1.9
The parking is terrible and expensive. The classes are set up to be easy until the university has collected the majority of the funds. Many professors are not prepared for class and treat students like they are lazy. The IT team spends most of their time pointing the finger at other departments. Great area to spend time in.
