I will be attending Uark starting fall 2018!! I'm super excited about it. What are some tips you can give me or things I should know before going in? -thanks(:
Hey Hey!! That’s so exciting! Being a freshman is literally so fun! Everything is new and exciting and you have so much in front of you!!
My advice is to take every opportunity available to you that you’re interested in. Take classes that you’re passionate about, even if they not part of your major or join a club even if you don’t know anyone in it. If you have the ability (and UARK makes it pretty accessible) study abroad. It has changed my life in so many ways. SOOOOOO many ways. Also: write a thank you note to all your professors at the end of the semester and mail it to their office. It’s a small gesture, but there’s a good chance that you may have them as a professor again or need a recommendation letter, and they will definitely remember you if you drop them a note thanking them for the semester.
Don’t be afraid to be cheesy and do all the typical stuff around Fayetteville. Climb the cross on Mt. Sequoyah. Walk around the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning. Stand in line for four hours on game day. Do what makes you happy and enjoy every minute of it.
I also really recommend surrounding yourself with people who will be there for you when college doesn’t seem so fun. These people help when things get tough and are vital for having a positive experience.
The time really does fly so please please please enjoy it.
Sorry it took me so long to respond to this, and sorry this is all over the board. I hope it was helpful.
Go Hogs and Woo Pig.
