Nothing Stands Out

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How varied or subjective the interview experience is for each interviewee.

What are your general comments?

ARCOM seems to have their stuff together. Strong faculty and administration appears to care, albeit there is some of that Southern-style swagger that can be off-putting to those of us not from the area. Even with that attitude, they were quite kind and generous with their time. I would be happy to spend four-years or longer here. Fort Smith is fantastic in my opinion. Enough to do but not too much to be overwhelming.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I think the admissions office was transparent and responsive. Continue with the strong work.
