Review This School
J. B.
Describe your school in one sentence.My school is resilient, passionate, and fun; truth be told, there are no quitters here.,What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?The type of person that shouldn’t attend this university has a closed mind. They currently use words like “I have too many friends.” There are never enough friends. “There is no room in my brain.” Arkansas Tech University advocates the elasticity of minds and encourages growth. “I will never develop a passion for school.” I f you find yourself lost, then Arkansas Tech University will give you passion and fury to rage against negative thinking. My school doesn’t believe in “already completely.” It excels at “I’m ready for more.”

What is your school best known for?It is one out of the four first college’s ever built in Arkansas. It has been around for a hundred and one years. It provides a variety of majors and minors to students pursuing in any field. The town itself is a good southern hospitality and very energetic and musically inclined. It also helps provide jobs and opportunities to students and reasonable pricing for the school.,Describe your school in one sentence.Great experience for new or returing students wanting to go further in life.

Describe your classmates in one sentence.Oh, wow - what a hard sentence; however, my classmates have the following traits: trusting, caring, honest, kind, influential, open-minded, enthusiastic, friendly, willing to learn, and down-to-earth.,What’s unique about your school compared to other schools you considered?Arkansas Tech University is best described as a small community. Teachers, students, and faculty have a very close-knit bond that is more than likely impossible to find anywhere else. Most teachers will do whatever is needed to help students. Students can feel comfortable with their teachers, creating a better learning environment.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?The worst thing about my school is not about the school in an education sence it is actually about the campus. When it rains, snows, sleets or any other type of persipitation my campus floods. The campus is not that big, only around 7,000 students, but the buildings are spread out and it gets difficult to walk to and from classes. I live off campus and the parking lots are the worst thing that floods actually and other than difficulty, walking with soaked pants gets irritating.,What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?When I talk to my friends about my school I brag about the age of the campus. My school is a little over a hundred years old and some buildings are still original buildings from when the campus was new. I love architecture, more so when it is older. I love going to a school where there are buildings that are astetically pleasing.
