The professors at UCA are the only redeeming quality to this college. Kind and caring, they often went out of their way to assist students who were overwhelmed or having troubles in class. The majority of the remaining faculty were untrained and not helpful. I was overcharged multiple times, given wrong forms, or UCA simply lost my documents and requested I resubmit them.
Don't think about staying in the dorms unless it is your last option. The building echoes like no tomorrow. You're able to hear people having a normal conversation four doors down. Most of the time it was people yelling in the halls at 2 AM despite there being "quiet hours" (which is a joke). You'll get to enjoy loud music being played throughout the day from other rooms. Your hall of course will smell like weed. I doused my room with Lyesol and Febreeze to try and eliminate the smell but couldn't get rid of it. Ultimately I just left the window open at all times and hung air fresheners throughout my room.
Cafeteria food has never been good but the student center does have other options such as Quiznos, Mooyah, Chic-fil-a, Pizza hut, Einstein Bros, and some sushi hut. They're prices are slightly higher than off campus locations.
I'd rate higher but the faculty that handled my charges were just so unpleasant and clueless to deal with I simply cannot recommend this school to anyone.
