How big is Fayetteville?
Fayetteville, Arkansas, is a town of about 60,000 people, not counting the student population of over 17,000. While of this size might seem small to some, every convenience is here. Some of the best things about Fayetteville include its low crime rate and good climate. We have all four seasons here, with no long dry or rainy season. It will snow at least twice in the winter and get hot in the summer, but rarely over 100 degrees Farenheit. The larger Northwest Arkansas area includes Springdale, Rogers (famous poultry production towns), Bentonville (headquarters of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.), Beaver Lake, Devil’s Den State Park, and scenic White Rock Mountain. Other recreation areas are nearby for camping, hiking, canoeing, and other outdoor sports. Our campus recreation facility offers outdoor equipment for rent at a nominal cost. We are about three hours away by car from Little Rock, our state capitol and largest city in Arkansas.
