I agree that the financial package at the U of A at Fayetteville is attractive, but my daughter is not the slightest bit interested in going there for the reasons you outlined in a previous post. (Not an “intellectual environment” and the frats/sororities “ruling” the campus.)

If a rewarding financial package was uppermost on her priority list, she would probably apply to the UALR Donaghey Scholars program which PAYS students up to $9000 a year (plus full tuition, fees, etc.) and includes a study abroad package. What a deal! But - from my understanding, you go to class with the same group of about 25-30 people for the majority of the coursework and that seems very limiting.

If she stays in Arkansas for college, it will be at Hendrix.
