What was the zip code of your residence in high school?

60439

What do you like most?

The faculty at ARCOM genuinely care about your success. They all have their own unique teaching style, but at the end of the day, they come together to create fair exams. They also exercise a regular open door policy so you can visit at all times to ask questions. I really couldn't ask for more caring faculty.

What do you like least?

The dress code can be a bit annoying. On the other hand, if this is the worst thing I have to say, it really cannot be all too bad of a school!

Any other information you want to share?

Although a new school, I really believe you will be hard pressed to find a better DO school. Their boards pass rates are top notch. Additionally, although Arkansas probably isn't the most desirable place to live for people in their 20s, it's actually been a good experience. I've done activities I thought I never would before. If you're into hiking or other outdoorsy activities, this is the state for you.
