University of Arkansas

The University of Arkansas campus sweeps across hilltops on the western side of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Among the 130 buildings on the campus, 11 buildings have been added to the National Register of Historic Places individually, with most buildings in the historic core being named as contributing properties to the University of Arkansas Campus Historic District.

U of A students can get involved on campus through several student organizations and media opportunities, including two radio stations and a student newspaper that has been around for more than a century. The Office of Student Activities at U of A plans several free events for students, including concerts featuring Grammy winners such as John Mayer and lectures by prominent figures such as former President George H.W. Bush.

There are over 350 registered student organizations on campus including special interest, religious, international and cultural organizations, honorary and professional service groups and more.

The most recognized student organization on campus is the Associated Student Government, sometimes simply called "ASG." The student government is active in managing student fees, meeting with key university administrators and is actively involved in many important decisions made on the University of Arkansas Campus. 

Students who want to venture off the University of Arkansas campus can visit the nearby Ozark National Forest and Buffalo National River or take a weekend trip to Dallas, Memphis or St. Louis, which are each about 300 miles away. Student athletes can join recreational sports or one of the nearly 20 University of Arkansas Razorbacks varsity teams, which compete in the NCAA Division I Southeastern Conference.

The University of Arkansas recognizes the benefits students receive from living on campus their first year.

All single freshmen under 21 years of age are required to live on campus in a residence hall unless they live with a parent or legal guardian’s permanent home. That home must be within 70 minutes of campus. In compliance with this University of Arkansas System policy, new freshmen will be given priority with regard to campus housing.

The Living and Learning Communities also offer a variety of on-campus housing.

The UA Career Development Center helps all UA students and alumni. From major and career selection, to the job and graduate school application process.

Its staff is committed to staying on top of employment trends in the rapidly changing world of work so that they can help students to be competitive. By using Career Development Center resources, including its website tools, Job Board, and career counseling services, students can rise their chances to find a job of their dreams.
