How to Find the Best Dorms at the University of Arkansas

Picking a dorm at a collegiate campus is no easy task. Determining the best dorms based on age, size and style of living is even more difficult if you are a new student or one that doesn't know much about on-campus living. This article serves the purpose of taking the guesswork out of picking a dorm at the University of Arkansas.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Take into consideration Maple Hill Hall (East and West buildings). This dormitory is one of the few newly re-organized dormitories on campus that doesn't require its residents to accomplish certain tasks and requirements before moving in. This dormitory is open to all freshmen and students with under 45 hours of credit at the university level. Maple Hill Hall houses both males and females and the students live in a traditional dorm setting and have an available community living area to gather and socialize.
2. Look into Yocum Hall. This dormitory is unique in that it features a limited number of double rooms that are used to house just a single student. If you are not one of the students that gets put into one of these rooms, however, you still benefit from a traditional college setting and dorm-room with a roommate and social living areas. Yocum Hall is open to all students but is mainly inhabited by freshmen students.
3. Check out Duncan Avenue Apartments if you are an Arkansas student that has completed at least 45 credit hours at school. This brand new on-campus apartment features four-bedroom furnished apartments for students. There are also a select number of one- and two-bedroom apartments in this complex to choose from. Duncan Avenue Apartments are conveniently located near the Harmon Parking Deck, Bell Engineering and the Physics Building.
