Chris, did you pick this school because it has a superior reputation? Yes and no. The school is the best in Arkansas from what I have heard. It is also fairly small(7500) compared to the schools in Texas(25000+) which was important to me. In every fisheries class we are able to take multiple field trips since the classes are so small. I can't imagine a place with more diversity in habitat so close to a school than at ATU. We have mountain stream, swamps, lakes, and the Arkansas River all with a 20 min. drive.

I don't think I have mentioned that we use a jetdrive motor on the Darter project. It is awesome to be able to drive 20 mph in less than 6 in. of water. Even if you hit bottom it is not a big deal. One time we were going full speed around a turn when the driver realized we wouldn't be able to make the turn. He just straightened up the boat and drove it almost all the way onto the shore.
