University of Central Arkansas (reviews)

As a public school, University of Arkansas is not as academically rigorous as other private schools, but it does offer an excellent education. People always want to go to the toughest school possible so that they can get the best degree, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t graduate. U of A is a happy middle ground. State tuition is paid even in surrounding states.
Finally, and most importantly, The fandom here is so pure and inspiring. Probably my favorite part about this heaven.

I came to UCA not being sure of the major that I chose. But I have been nicely surprised because of the quality of the education. I have been able to acquire some knowledge, grow on the intellectual and social level.

This school is the most opportunity-driven one that I can think of. I get the impression that businesses will be interested in hiring me after I graduate because I attended a highly selective college. I am appreciative of the 600 student organizations/clubs, the knowledgeable teachers, the engaged student bodies, and the opportunities to study abroad and work.

I spent 3 years at UCA. My experience was overall satisfying. Teachers are good and listen to students. It is affordable compared to other universities. You get to pay in-state tuition if you decide to live on campus. Once you graduate, you can live off campus and still get the instate tuition.
There are a lot of opportunities to get involved on campus. Student organization are varied and it is easy to find one that aligns with one’s values and objectives.
However, after transferring to another university, I think UCA does not offer enough opportunities in terms of on campus jobs.
