What Students Are Saying

Do all your homework and G0 to class! Don't have too much fun on Thursday night!

No name woman

Overall the college is great and i would recommend anyone looking for a nice, peaceful, learning environment to go there.

Shequita from Strong, AR

Be prepared for the full college experience.

Baelye

Make sure you apply for financial aid and housing early. These departments are the worst on campus. Consider getting active on campus through community service projects, the Student Activities Board or by going Greek!

Shelby from Emerson, AR

Be open-minded. SAU isn't just a campus for students involved in agriculture. I realized that SAU is one of the top universities in the state in the accounting field. I was extremely impressed with the campus, professors and the demenor of the students I met during my tour.

Alexandria from Prescott, AR

It isn't and overwhelmingly big campus, which is good for students that don't want classes too large or too many people. Everyone is friendly, including the professors. The smaller teacher-to-student ratio helps a lot for those that want a closer relationship to professors.

Riley from Crossett, AR

if you plan on going here I would suggest you get ready to have the learning experience of a lifetime
