Living in Arkansas
A state of just under 2.9 million people, Arkansas enjoys large expanses of untamed nature-forests, caves, marshes, and much more. It’s a great state for hiking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor sports, but it also has its fair share of refinement. Little Rock, Arkansas’s biggest city, is home to the Museum of Discovery, the Clinton Museum, and the Historic Arkansas Museum, just to name a few.
The cost of living in Arkansas is about half of what the cost of living is in Los Angeles and just two thirds of the cost of living in Chicago. And yet, the median household income in Arkansas is just over LA’s median income at a comfortable $43,000 per year. Arkansas also enjoys a more stable housing market than the rest of the country. It is home to some of the nation’s best healthcare facilities-the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is consistently listed as one of ’America’s Best Hospitals’ in US News & World Report (See 12 Reasons to Love Arkansas).
Here you’ll find all sorts of fun to distract you from your studies, including concerts, dance clubs, theater, bars, and lots of great food. Take in the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra or check out Front Street in Conway for an avenue full of bars, restaurants, and clubs. And be sure to check the event calendars of the local colleges for theater productions, concerts, and prominent speakers from around the nation.Featured Online Colleges
