Southern Arkansas University

Southern Arkansas University is truly a lovely place. I am going into my senior year this August and am do excited to see what it has in store for me. Freshman year was a little hard, but SAU has several activities for you to get to know people and make friends (a few of them are mandatory). I'm in the Honors College which has allowed me to experience several interesting field trips and allowed me to travel abroad to France for 1 week. Deana Taylor is wonderful. Take a moment to introduce yourself to her because she will help you throughout your time at SAU. It's a growing community, but everybody seems to be close here (and friendly). The cafeteria recently expanded and has gotten much better food. The older dorms are okay, but I definitely suggest the newer dorms, University Hall,

It has been 18 years since I stepped foot on campus. The café has been expanded, they have changed the meal policies to better accommodate people from all ethnic backgrounds. You can get meals to-go if being around tons of people isn't your thing. Cheap and good food. 10/10 would recommend.

Perfect, most cost-effective university! Everyone (but the head of the nursing department) is professional and friendly!

I graduated from SAU in 2000. My education was a great preparation for career success. My daughter is now attending SAU as an Honor student. SAU is expanding and offering many diverse options. I'm proud to be a Mulerider & continuing the tradition. I encourage potential students to tour the campus. We are so pleased SAU now waives out of state tuition for Claiborne Parish as well as other bordering counties and parishes. Based on generous academic scholarships, SAU costs less than an in state school with Honors TOPS and additional academic scholarships. The cost difference was not the only reason we chose SAU but certainly a contributing factor. This school offers the hands on attention of a private school with the value of a state school. Come see what SAU has to offer before deciding on

My son was supposed to be in the first engineering class or so we were told. The advisor had him take classes he didn't need to take. And yes I was involved in the process. Three years later they still dont have an engineering accreditation even though its in their degree plans. They put him down as physics with an engineering emphasis. This is not an engineer. They can never tell me how much his school is going to cost until halfway through the semester. I had to pull him out and enroll him in a real school.
