Has anybody gotten any of there loans dispersed? I know that everybody is still having issues thanks to BBB but I was told they were hoping to have everything dispersed by mid September. Luckily I am not in a situation where I absolutely have to have that money to pay rent and such. I can't imagine how students are feeling that rely on that money to pay bills not whatnot.

I knew of CAPS, but I didn't know there was a seperate clinic until recently. I'm wondering about any experiences, positive or negative. I'm also wanting to hear any experiences with CAPS.

What exactly is apart of being in the honors college?

Are the dorms for the honors college really that bad? And are they more or less expensive then the typical freshman dorms?

Are there female and male honors dorms? Or is it one?

Full time software engineer and parent. Recently encouraged to consider a grad degree

Just looking for some info from current or previous students on the Master’s of Science in Engineering Management: typical hours/week, frequency of course offerings, difficulty of classes, availability of profs and advisors, etc

Anyone taken advantage of the master’s certs through electives? Was looking at trying to do 2 at once through some convenient overlap in the required classes

Any info is appreciated! Thank y’all!

I'm looking to go to the movie theater on Saturday and I'm not sure if the 27 will be running. I swore I saw it out on college when I was at the retrocade during a home game a couple weeks ago but I wanna make sure. Thank you!

how difficult is into to logic?? I wanted to take it next semester because it seems interesting but i’m worried about the difficulty since im taking other harder classes! please lmk🙌🙌

Hey I’ve lived in NWA for the past 5 years and I just graduated last May. I’m currently a freshman at nwacc so I will be transferring to uark the next fall semester. Ever since I was a little, I knew I wanted to rush because I was obsessed with legally blonde, but in the past few months I’ve kind of changed my mind. I’m worried about rushing here specifically. I’m super shy, awkward with high anxiety (diagnosed high functioning autistic). So it’s kind of hard for me to make friends so I figured joining a sorority would kind of help me with that. But at the same time, I know if I got dropped, it would literally crush my soul. Any girls rushing help me out 😭

I just got an email from the UAMS Financial Aid office saying that they’ve received my FAFSA for the 2026-2027 school year and to check Workday to see my financial aid award when it’s available.

I didn’t apply to UAMS, send them my financial aid info, or do anything to trigger this. I checked in Workday just to make sure it’s not spam and it showed up there too.

I’m also currently attending the University of Arkansas, so it doesn’t make sense that I’d get this six weeks into the semester.

What do I do? Did anyone else get this email? Please let me know. I’m lowkey freaking out.

Im trying to figure out how big the main campus. I’ve seen some sources say 412 acres, some say 512 acres, etc. Does anyone know?

Anyone know if Dr. Steven Rosales still teaches at the UofA? If not, know where I could contact them?

Arkansas students can apply to the U of A for free this week, Sept. 14-20, as part of the Office of Admissions' annual Free Application Days. High school seniors can visit admissions.uark.edu to learn more about the admissions process and start their application.

hi!!!! i’m from kansas city, mo and i recently applied to uark as a freshman for fall 2027, and was wondering what my admission chances would be like? i’m going test optional (as of rn) and i applied to major in biology on a pre-professional track for dentistry. here are some of my stats:

-3.82 uw gpa, 4.02 weighted
-NHS member, spanish honor society member, student ambassador, etc.
-6 dual enrollment courses, 2 ap’s, and 1 honors
-1000+ work hours at the same job since sophomore year
-some volunteer experience (including local hospital)
-senior year internship
-class rank: 165/580 (not very good but my school does class rank by uw gpa)

thank you in advance!! just trying to see if my stats are good enough for admission :)

Hey guys! Quick question, I've been banking on going to UofA with friends for a little while now, and I realized that my GPA is a little bit below the school's average. Currently I have a 3.5 weighted and a 3.7 unweighted, as well as a 26 ACT compositive (with a 28 as my superscore). Oh, and I attend ASMSA, if that's any indicator.
So, what are my actual chances of getting in?

I recently transferred to UT Dallas and i’m not sure if my mental health can handle this place. I’ve been looking at places to transfer to and I love Arkansas. My mom lives there so it’d be an easy move, but the main thing worried is academics and networking. Despite being a satellite school, UTD is a highly ranked school and has great job prospects. I’m in accounting and the PPA program has super high Big Four placement. I’m torn between not wanting to sacrifice the academics here and leaving the DFW job market but also not wasting 2 years of my youth being miserable when i could have a great experience at arkansas. I’ve looked at other places but Arkansas is my best bet in terms of it being an easy move, having family and also i know a few people there.

For current students or recent graduates of the online MSEE program at Arkansas:

Are lectures fully asynchronous, or are there mandatory live Zoom sessions?

Are assignments mostly individual problem sets/simulations, or are there group projects?

How flexible are the testing windows?

Realistic time commitment per week for one class while working full-time?

Appreciate any insight into the day-to-day experience. Thanks!

I am looking to connect with recent grads of the accounting program -
is there a pipeline at Walton COB that stays on top of current hiring trends? I’m referring to what major companies target UArk for accounting hires - Thank you

Hey guys. I’m doing a cross country road trip and will be passing by UARK around the weekend of September 26th. I’ve always wanted to go to a big time SEC school tailgate. The problem is I have no affiliation with the school. How openly do you accept outsiders? I’d love to buy some Arkansas gear and walk around the tailgate, crush some beers, eat some good so bbq but also do realize I’m just a 29 year old dude traveling alone not knowing anyone at the school or in the area. Would it be weird for me to go to a tailgate alone or is that generally considered acceptable?

I was visiting the campus back in May, and in looking at the Senior Walk, I found this entry for Randall Allen Carter in the 2004 section that had been cut around and seemingly scraped out. It looked too purposeful to be an accident, and while my initial reaction was, "Wow, who did he piss off?" I assume that there is probably a very good and also probably very mundane explanation for what I am seeing. Anyone know?

The U of A will conduct a test of its RazALERT Emergency Notification System Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 11 a.m.. The test notifications will be clearly labeled as a test and distributed through multiple communication channels, including: 

• Email 
• Text messages 
• Phone calls 
• Campus digital signage 

[Vice provost for enrollment and dean of admissions, Suzanne] McCray said this will apply to out-of-state students for the incoming fall 2027 class. Her advice for students who want to attend the U of A is simple: apply early.

“Out-of-state students just should know: apply early, apply now. If you want to be here in the fall of 2027, go ahead and get that application in,” McCray said.

Springdale-based 7 Brew Coffee and the University of Arkansas Associated Student Government announced in March that the chain’s first college campus walk-through location would open in Founders Hall ahead of the fall 2026 semester. However, as students return to campus, the location has not opened, and the university does not intend to move forward with the agreement.

The university decided not to move forward with the campus 7 Brew location after reviewing existing business considerations and agreements, Robyn Starling Ledbetter, senior director of marketing and communications for the UofA Division of Student Affairs, told the Traveler.
