What's campus life like at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville?

I'm thinking about attending the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Can anyone share what campus life is like, including student organizations and social atmosphere?

Sure, the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, or U of A for short, has a very active and lively campus community. The campus itself is gorgeous with a "Main Street" through the middle known as Dickson Street. Filled with restaurants, coffee shops, and art galleries, Dickson Street is a serious hub of activity for students.

Regarding student organizations, there are more than 400 registered student organizations at U of A. These clubs span a variety of interests, meaning there's likely something for everyone. There are service-based groups such as Volunteer Action Center, cultural organizations like Desi Students Association, academic societies, arts clubs, and so many others.

Greek life is also significant, with about 30% of students participating in the more than 30 fraternity and sorority organizations. If Greek life isn't your thing, there are other ways to meet people, as U of A regularly hosts events, speaker series, and festivals for students.

Athletics also play a big role in both the social scene and school spirit at U of A. The school is part of NCAA Division I, and their football games, in particular, draw a crowd. Whether or not you're a sports fan, many students find attending games to be a unifying, spirited event.

As with any school, the social atmosphere can depend a lot on your personal interests and how you choose to get involved. But between the multitude of student organizations, a vibrant off-campus street, university events, and sporting games, most students find U of A to have an inclusive and lively campus life.
