University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, Fall 2016

[Stevia11]

Hey all, I decided to attend the University of Arkansas in Fall 2016. I was admitted to the Food Science program and will be working towards a Master's degree focusing on Sensory Science and Consumer Behavior. It would be great to connect with everybody who will be attending. I have never been to the area, so any information about what's good there and housing options would be great. Also, I would be down to talk housing options with anybody who wants to room together. I am currently living in Madison, Wisconsin and I'm excited for the warmer weather that awaits

Hey!!

I will be in the the communication disorders master's program at the UofA.  I completed my bachelor's degree there, but I've been living in Alaska since then.  I can't wait to return to warmer weather as well! :-)

Housing... Unfortunately, Fayetteville recently got ranked as #3 in some top places to live list.  I say unfortunately because that means housing prices are inflated now.  If you can move down there during the summer, that's really the best time to look because it's a big "college town," so a big chunk of the population moves out during the summer.  In August, the demand will be higher than the supply.  If you're looking for an apartment instead of a house/plex that's a little bit easier.  You can try craigslist and reddoorar.com, but if you can drive around and look for For Rent signs, that's better.  If you're unsure about what parts of town are good, send me the address you're looking at and I'd be happy to tell you if that area is ok.  For the most part though, it's all pretty safe.  I don't know what my partner and I are going to do about housing.  We may live with family for a little while until we can recover from the moving expenses!
