What's a $1000 amongst friends, got to pay for those lost Lot 44 parking spots somehow.......

Babygirl lives at Hill Place. It is an uphill walk to school but it is a downhill walk home. For $800 (parking pass), I told her exercise would be good for her, even though she is skinny like I used to be.

Besides, a bus runs every 15 minutes to the heart of campus, and when it is cold that is how she goes to class.

Yeah, if I had to walk as much as mine does, I wouldn't leave the house, haha. Of course, she's getting to run a 1/2 marathon in February, that's about how much I walk in a week.......

Green parking pass isn't much.  Around $100 I believe.  Harmon garage is up there a good bit.

Hill Place is convenient, but don't they charge by the room essentially?

Yeah, my son had that, he wasn't as picky, then just parked at a buddy's house on Clinton the last two years.

I hear that.

She's in a 4BR/4Bath with three other girls...Chi-O. Works out pretty well.

I gotcha.  New Walmart over there is convenient as well.  Seems like every time you turn around, there is a new place being built for housing near the university.  I'm only 3 years removed from school and it's changed a ton since I was on campus everyday.

Yeah, as an old timer, 1980 grad, they've ruined a lot of the views with some of the apartments, but I understand bidness.

No kidding. I went back to visit some buddies up there over Christmas break and was greeted by some terrible new complex near the 4-way stop at Razorback and 15th. The thing just covers up the view of Baum when you're heading north on Razorback.

But like you I understand it's about the money. Just kinda sucks.

Also to the OP, congrats. Fayetteville is one hell of a place.

[ATU HOG]

Congrats by the way though to the original post.  It's a great thing being a Razorback.  My girlfriend was an athlete at the university and I tell her all the time just how lucky she was to be a Razorback.  Woo Pig

What, do you mean like a view of downtown or the hills? I guess I never paid much attention back in the eighties when I was up there a lot. I know that whole area is different but I guess I haven't noticed.

[FANONTHEHILL]

Most athletes are in the Quad during their freshman year these days.  I imagine she will be spending lots of time at the Bev Lewis Training Center, the soccer field and the Jerry and Gene Jones Athletic Center.  I highly recommend getting her a scooter.  It makes that trip up the hill after workouts a lot easier.  There are several scooter only lots all over campus for getting to class as well.  It's been a life saver for our footballer.

    Congratulations - West Coast Hog !

[Hankweb]

Congratulations!!
My son played for a perennial Top 20 men's Division 1 soccer program and just graduated this past year. Made the NCAA's 3 out of 4 years and were ranked as high as third in the country at one point. It was a tremendous experience for him and I'm now having major withdrawals!
As an aside...in applying for professional school, with the grades and test scores required for admission, being a D1 athlete was a significant addition to his resume. They recognize the hard work, time management, and discipline required of a true student athlete and highly value that. Not only will she have a fantastic college experience and enjoy teammates who become her closest friends but it will be a great benefit for her going forward.
Good Luck! and WooPig!

[Virgil]

Good deal and WPS!

[HogScoutMaster]

Congrats!  I really wanted to send my Daughter to UoA but she'll settle for UoMemphis and playing Soccer there

[GolfnHog]

Outstanding! Upside she's also got your family close for those times she just needs some familiar faces until she gets settled in. Congratulations to your family and as a side note, welcome home!

[Maximus Tusk]

Will definitely have more trips to NWA in my future.

Thanks to the soccer staff there for giving us peace about shipping our daughter back to the promised land.

took a look at u of a women's soccer website. Interesting that of about 30 players listed, only 1 is from Arkansas.

Have you ever watched girls high school soccer in Arkansas?

Not only have I not watched ark girls high school soccer, i have never seen a soccer game period.

Well, there's a reason there aren't more Arkansas girls on the team.

You're missing out on a great sport.

[lutherheggs]

You're missing out on a great sport.

Can't do and see it all. So I selected men's and women's soccer as a sport I will never see either on tv or in person.
