We take pride in being a safe campus that embraces a sense of community. The US Department of Education’s Campus Safety Security Survey named UA Little Rock the safest campus in Arkansas.

Your student will find a home away from home if they choose to live on campus. Living on campus provides students with a community and offers the convenience of being close to classes and events.
Each of the four residence halls (North, South, East, and West) and the University Village apartment complex are equipped with such amenities as furnished rooms, internet access, streaming cable, and reserved student parking.

We’re at the center of our state’s government, commerce, culture, health care, and nonprofit industries. There are plenty of local options for internships, community service, networking, and jobs before and after graduation. Little Rock offers big-city amenities with a small-town feel and the university is just minutes away from the natural beauty that is Pinnacle Mountain State Park, and right down the road from arts, culture, and top-rated restaurants.
