Arkansas Culture?

After falling in love with the school via paper and internet, I applied to Hendrix and just got accepted there. I plan to visit the school officially very soon, but wanted to get a read on what it’s like to live in the Little Rock area (I’m from Illinois).

What’s the scenery like? The people? The food? Music? Cultural events?

I always imagined that I’d attend school filled with like-minded bohemian “hipsters” in a major city on one of the coasts. I’m finding it a little hard to adjust to the fact I’m probably going to live in Arkansas, though I love Hendrix’s educational philosophy.

Basically, will someone let this midwestern gal know what life’s like down south?

From what I’ve read on my own and from other testimonies, I know that Hendrix has its own eclectic culture. But I would occasionally like to venture off campus. :)
