What’s the most unique aspect of UCA? Many would say it’s the residential college system. In residential colleges, classes are held in the same building where students live, giving them a chance to work closely with the faculty and upperclassmen in residence. This makes studying and doing homework together both convenient and productive. UCA has the first and largest living and learning community in the state, making it like no other experience on any other campus in Arkansas. uca.edu/residential
