Deciding where to attend college is a huge decision for most students and settling on a choice can bring a sense of relief and satisfaction. Then a daunting reality sets in as the students and their parents realize they face the next big question: How do we make this actually happen? 

Navigating the process of applying for admission, housing, and grants and scholarships can feel overwhelming, which is why experts at the University of Arkansas advise starting as early as possible. Visit the campuses of the colleges you are interested in during your sophomore and junior years, and apply for admission at the end of your junior year to the ones you most want to attend. Once you are accepted for admission and decide where you plan to go, dive into the details. 

At the U of A, you can schedule a campus visit at https://admissions.uark.edu/visit/ and apply for admission at https://admissions.uark.edu/apply/.  

Housing is another priority, so go to https://housing.uark.edu/ to research your options for dorms and meal plans. 

Then there’s the big, bad gorilla in the road known as funding. The U of A has a webpage that covers the basics: https://walton.uark.edu/future-students/cost-tuition.php.
