Why did you choose the University of Arkansas?
“I used to come here with my older brother for baseball tournaments and fell in love with Fayetteville. When I toured more colleges as I got older, I felt like nothing compared to the University of Arkansas. The programs that they offer here at the UofA provide ample opportunities for students. Specifically, I was intrigued by the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design and the programs, curriculum, and accreditation.”
