Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Even though everyone here is attending the same school, each student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock can have a unique experience. There are many opportunities offered here, and it’s up to each student to take advantage of them—students have the power to determine what their time here will be like. Not only do the students get a traditional education in the classroom, but they’re also able to learn things outside of the classes, as well. Students can learn about teamwork, responsibility, self-motivation, and adaptability in the classroom, as well as through extracurricular activities or internships. Also, the student body is made up of so many different types of people, that students learn a lot just by interacting with one another.

The UALR faculty genuinely wants to see the students succeed, and most of the professors and instructors are professionals in their field. For example, many criminal justice professors are lawyers, and some psychology professors work in clinics that deal with mental conditions. These professional professors are great sources of information for students who are looking to enter the same fields after graduation. With so many degree options, UALR is great university to attend no matter what you want to pursue professionally. The experience at UALR is different from any other university or college in Arkansas, and many students say they would choose to come to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock if they could do it all over again.

I haven't found any interesting people at UALR and no one is really social enough to the students who live off campus.

US Pizza Company

It is a chain restaurant but very delicious and so worth the cost. They also give student discounts on the drinks there and it is right by the school so you can just walk there.
