Overall, the University of Arkansas provided a great four years at a large public university. There are so many really great teachers who invest in the students, great social life and located in a beautiful area.
The program I took was excellent, professors were well trained and knowledgable. The courses I took at the University of Arkansas helped me improve the way I used to see the world and be more critical in my studies and; besides all that, my personal growth has created a positive impact on my social and professional relationships.
I loved the academic experience, but I did not like how large the university was.
