Great Uni!

I love this campus and the opportunities this school has given me. I love all the professors and I like how it isn't a big school.

As a business major, I have so many great opportunities here!!!

UALR is an excellent choice. I live in my own house and don't eat on campus. Strictly speaking on academics, it's an excellent value for the money and the staff genuinely cares about you success as a student and your professional career.

I love this campus, the students are great, if you get the right professors the experience is amazing, and the school spirit is off the chain. I love my school and those who come here. It is centrally located in Little Rock so it is easy to get to just about anywhere in town.

UALR is a wonderful University; I was able to be successful as a full time & part time student. The faculty is awesome, always willing to work with students particular needs; I had professors loan me books until I was able to afford to buy my own copy, let me stay in class for a few days while my Financial Aid was being worked out. Great school..

Great Campus, many opportunities to go and explore the capitol city of Arkansas. Glad I choose this school to go to. There's help whenever you need it.

Reputation sucks but it's a great school

I’m a 30 yr old sophomore so Maybe it’s my age showing but the school is great, the professors are ready to help you succeed if it’s what you want. If you don’t participate and isolate yourself, it won’t be a good time. The biggest downfall is location but what they lack in location they make up with in security.

Theyre pretty prejudice and they dont accommodate student with disabilities even with your disability notification letter that you will request from the UALR Disability Resource Center. Theyre casual mistakes with your entire future will be not spared even when they make mistakes as professionals AND ADMIT IT. I would not chance it.

This is school could not have been a worse experience for a full-time military member. The entire experience was a nightmare and the management afterwards is even worse. When you owe them money for a mistake THEY made, they wont call you, email you, they will send you notice 9 mo. later saying they are sending it to a collection agency. tf

Staff at the Financial office and Cashier's Office are the WORST and RUDEST people I have ever met... I've sent in my financial aid requirements in JUNE and now its SEPTEMBER and they still havent processed it... I asked when they will do it, they said when we get to it. YOU HAD THREE MONTHS TO JUST REVIEW, IT DOESNT TAKE LONG TO DO.

"safest university in Arkansas?" I've been getting emails from the university about robberies, shootings, and even a DEAD body floating by Coleman Creek which is ON CAMPUS. This $25 million that the school claims we got from an anonymous donor (more like students' money) couldn't even cover 7 hours worth of my classes.
Overall 1.2
had to continue on from my last post because limited characters... rude staff members, I've seen campus police probably 2x in the 3.5 years I've been here, there's a custodian staff that works in library, never felt safe when he was walking by... always stared at you like a prey. "Safest university in Arkansas?" more like not, I've heard robberies
Overall 1.2
its one of the worst university probably in Arkansas... unnecessary charges to students accounts especially in this pandemic time...I thought they would lower class prices like UCA would but nope full charge amount. Not enough restaurants like other universities, buildings are run down even though they are taking thousands of money from students

Do not make the mistake of going here. Beyond the crime-ridden places (serious crime like rape, murder, and robberies) the faculty truly does not care about you. There are dead bodies that float in rivers, students die and go missing here, and it is extremely impoverished and run down especially living in the nightmare of these dorms. I regret it
