Little Rock, AR

Little Rock is (ironically) the biggest city in Arkansas, and also serves as the state capital. Both of these characteristics usually mean a lot of options for prospective college students, too, and Little Rock delivers. The University of Arkansas’ main campus is located in Fayetteville, but the largest satellite campus is, indeed, UA-Little Rock, which serves 13,000 of the system’s 60,000 students. 

The population of Little Rock is just over 204,000. The city has most things you’d expect from a place that serves as both the most prominent business and political hub in the state. There are several museums, art festivals year-round (the weather is nice!), resources for young people who are on their own, and a lot of places to meet new friends.
