University of Arkansas Named One of Top 10 Campuses For Fall Foliage
The University of Arkansas campus is picturesque all year long but autumn is special. The dazzling display of fall foliage is always highly anticipated. Recently, the U of A was named one of the 10 Must-See Schools For Fall by Schools.com, a online resource for prospective and current college students.
"Although the university is nestled in the Ozark Mountains, you need not trek to them to enjoy the season. The campus features two stunning arboreta with a combined 480 trees, and their fall colors linger long into November," a portion of the article says.
The University of Arkansas and Colorado State University are the only American schools on the list located west of the Mississippi River. Two universities in Japan and one in Canada are also included.
To enjoy the fall colors now, you have three options: go outside, look out the window, and/or view the slide show of photos included with this story!
