A beacon of innovation and creativity for the state of Arkansas

Public Walkable College Town SEC Razorbacks U of A Historic

The University of Arkansas provides a terrific educational environment and a gorgeous campus in the Ozark foothills. The Razorbacks athletics program is one of the most successful in the country, with the university’s sports teams collectively earning over forty NCAA national titles since 1984. One of the most distinctive features of the campus is Senior Walk, a three-mile (and growing) walkway engraved with the names of every graduating senior from the university’s history.

Most of the activity on campus happens on the north end, and the neighborhoods bordering this side of the university are full of affordable apartments, condos, and rental houses. Those seeking a bit more balance between work and play can often find budget-friendly living arrangements near both the campus and downtown Fayetteville as well.

Fayetteville’s city center is right next door to the main campus’s east side, making it easy to check out the dining and nightlife of Dickson Street or the farmers’ market and specialty shops around Fayetteville Square. Mount Sequoyah and countless nature preserves are nearby, providing endless opportunities to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Natural State.
