Fayetteville and the University are awesome. Beautiful part of the country. My daughter is going in the fall - took her on a campus visit this fall and it blew us both away.

Most people who say "why would you go to Arkansas?" have never been to Fayetteville.

My son graduates this semester from U of A and I would agree with you for the most part. This is the only part of Arkansas that I would want to live in. I am so glad that my son remains a staunch LSU fan and doesn't do that damn hog call!! I hope you daughter enjoys NW Arkansas.

My daughter(no pics) is a freshman there and loves it...like you said, beautiful campus and area around Fayetteville. It's a solid 5 hour drive from Bossier...which isn't too bad, but I can see how that would be different for Christian's family. 10-11 hour drive vs. less than an hour to BR. Want that kid at DBU!

I'm from Arkansas and grew up going to 2-3 home games a year and I just do not find their campus beautiful. They've sold out to each new architectural fad and have no consistent design across campus. Fayetteville is nice in the fall but I'm glad I brought my arse down south
