I'm going to be a freshman and was wondering if there is anywhere anyone recommends as a natural walking area

I am a soon-to-be incoming freshman at UCA, and I'm trying to make the decision between entering in for the Honor's Program, or just coming in normally. I want to make sure the work load isn't too much... I don't particularly want to be stressed out during my first year. The Honor's core curriculum in particular is what I'm a little worried about. Can anyone share their experiences, and/or the pros and cons? Thanks in advance!

This is a true story that I will do my best to recollect. Only a few people alive probably even know that this happened. I believe the main custodian involved still works there, but none of the other parties involved do.

Back in 2011 and 2012 at UCA, I had gone back to school to get a second bachelor’s degree and was working full-time at the university in order to get a break in tuition. I was assigned to the main administration building (Wingo) on the early morning shift (5:00am to 1:30pm). My duties were to clean the building, empty the trash, and clean up after Board of Trustees meetings.

In the spring of 2012, around the time I graduated, there was a spat of mischief that went on for several weeks before it was resolved involving a coworker of mine on the morning shift in his building which was next to mine and housed the registrar’s office and student accounts. I am pretty sure he still works there, but I don’t know in what building or on what shift as I haven’t worked there in about twelve years.

One day after our shift was done, my coworker complained to our supervisor that someone had urinated on all of the toilet paper in a stall in the men’s bathroom in his building. This was after he’d cleaned the bathroom and refilled all of the paper. Every roll in one of the stalls had been pissed on until they were completely soaked. He had to replace the rolls and clean up that stall again. It happened in the mid-morning, and he found out because one of the men who worked in that building complained to him.

At first, it seemed like it might just be a one-time prank. We all thought that maybe some kid was drunk and decided to ruin an entire stall’s worth of toilet paper and it wouldn’t happen again. Wrong. Soon thereafter, possibly even the next day, it happened again. Same stall. Every roll completely soaked through. Then, it started happening a couple times a week. It made my coworker’s job more miserable than it already was. As it seemed like it was simply a prank that gone on for too long, albeit a disgusting one, all that could be done at first was to give him an extra box of toilet paper and make one final check to make sure it was dry before his shift was over.

My coworker almost caught the “Pee Bandit” one day and saw him go back towards the College of Business building. He realized then that the bandit wasn’t a student but someone older due to the bald spot. He got enough of a glimpse of him that he would be able to give the supervisor an idea of what he looked like, but without anything concrete, they could not make an accusation.

After about a month of this “Pee Bandit”, as we coined him, ruining all of the toilet paper in a stall in McCastlain, the complaints finally worked their way up high enough that it made it to the president’s office. Yes, the president of the university had to get involved for this to come to an end. The president ended up getting the campus police involved to catch the guy.

So, finally, the police and my coworker had a stakeout in McCastlain near the bathroom to catch the bandit in the act. When the man came in who resembled the suspect, my coworker followed in afterward and then an officer came him in the bathroom and waited for him to start pissing on the toilet paper. Sure enough, after a few seconds, piss started running down the wall of the stall. When the bandit opened the door, he was told to wash up, then he was cuffed. They’d finally caught him in the act. He was such a slippery guy, he tried to pass off what he’d just done as “water” to make the paper softer for wiping. True story.

Turns out, the Pee Bandit was a finance professor who out of thin air just decided to start using the bathroom in a different building so he could urinate on the toilet paper. Because I worked in the administration building, I was able to find out that the whole thing was swept under the rug without any disciplinary action taken because back in 2012 there was a whole other scandal involving employees giving students building keys to steal exams that resulted in several firings and even jail time for the former Chief of Staff. I may write about that one another day.

The Pee Bandit lucked out, and not long after, he was no longer teaching at UCA. I happen to know that he still teaches collegiate finance.

Hey guys how much do you get paid hourly at Starbucks as a student worker? (Im thinking about working there)

Hello I am looking for places to study. I am a late night study dude and would like to have suggestions for places. Thanks in advance.

Hey dudes, I'm an incoming freshman into UCA so I thought I'd post a question here for other freshmen. Personally, I'm excited for new friends and opportunities yet scared for stress (which is probably common)

I just wanted to see what a lot of us thought. Hope to hear from y'all

He's in the physics department. I'd love to say hey if I'm down that way.

Hello everyone I am transferring to UCA in the fall and I am wondering if any other upperclassmen have had trouble with getting housing. I see on the website that housing is not guaranteed for upperclassmen and I am wondering if any of y’all have been denied housing. Thank y’all!

Posting again to see if anyone has/knows a better walk through or show-a-round of the Bear Village apartments. I tried using the ones the college offers but they don't do like a full walk through. They just updated last week to 360 pictures edited into a video but it only shows one point in the living room/kitchen, one bathroom, and one bedroom. The "blueprint" provided also isn't accurate anyway I try to look at it. I'm going into Bear Village for next semester and I have this thing with planning. Any help would be appreciated.

Idk if it’s just me but, trying to use the UCA housing/school internet blocks the Target app and website from working correctly. Is it a me problem or does the wifi actually block certified websites like target from working?

So i'm new here and i'm looking for making new friends here just to hang around or do stuff talk and so on it's kinda getting boring to sit in front of my phone every meal...

I'm an incoming freshman and I was wondering if I can bring my own mini fridge instead of renting?

hey does anyone know if there are pianos students can use to practice?

I am looking at a Fall start date. What is everyone using for in-class notes and assignments? What are your recommendations?

I found a Micro SD Card on UCA campus 12/9. Describe what was on it and I'll get it back to you.

I just wanted to share this website ratemycourses.io with new students who are not familiar with it.You can use this to look at reviews and get advice on courses you're interested in taking.

And don't forget to add reviews for the courses you took or currently taking!

Hey guys. So, I attended UCA in 2013 and didn't apply myself. I chose marriage stressors and working over my college education. After nearly 10 years, I began my college journey all over again at UACCM. I'm looking at returning to UCA possibly (hopefully) this Fall!

Due to my Fs on my transcript, I will likely have to go through the appeals process since my combined GPA from UCA and UACCM will put me around 1.69. I am embarrassed to even say that. 😭

However, I am wanting to finish my degree at UCA. I truly enjoyed my professors and my experiences at UCA all those years ago.

Has anyone else gone through this process? I have read where they also have a type of readmission "forgiveness" as long as you have not attended any college or Uni within a certain period of time, have 12 credit hours, and a minimum of 2.0 GPA.

I currently have from UACCM: 12 credit hours and a 2.75 GPA.

Hi Everyone,

I have been working for some time now on this website ratemycourses.io and I am really excited to share it with you.

You can use this to look at reviews and get advice on courses you're interested in. You can also sort courses by difficulty, usefulness and the overall rating from reviews made by other students. I think if enough people start using it regularly. it's going to be essential when you're choosing your electives or just to get advice on courses you will be taking.

Please let me know if there is anything that I should change or what features I should add.

Lastly, filtering and sorting courses is only gonna be useful and accurate if there are a lot of reviews, so please go ahead and leave some reviews to courses you've taken or are currently taking.

Enjoy!!
