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.
