Arkansas weather is a drama queen. You might start the day in a sweater, then need a t-shirt by lunch, and by 4 p.m., you’re running from a thunderstorm. The key is layers. Also, an umbrella that doesn’t turn inside out. Invest in one; your future self will thank you.
The one constant? The humidity. Your hair will never look the same after moving here, but that’s okay—it’s a sacrifice to the Air Conditioning Gods. And every building on campus has impeccable A/C.
The Final Word: Why You Should Go
Arkansas State University is the kind of place where you can be a big fish in a medium-sized pond. You’re not a number. You’re a Red Wolf, and people actually care if you show up to class.
You’ll leave with a degree, sure, but you’ll also leave with friends who will help you move a couch at 11 p.m. and a deep, abiding love for the sound of a marching band. You’ll know where the best burger joint is (it’s Foster’s, by the way) and you’ll know how to navigate a campus that feels like home.
So go ahead. Sign up for the tour. Pet a squirrel (at your own risk). Eat some fried okra. And remember: Once a Red Wolf, always a Red Wolf. You might even learn to howl at the moon. It’s not mandatory, but it’s highly encouraged.
Now go make some memories. And bring snacks for the squirrels.
