Why it matters: It's a necessary step, with two additional dorms not set to open for a few more years. State of play: About 1,300 students have university housing contracts but are living off-campus at the Atmosphere, Cardinal, Locale and Marshall, university spokesperson John Thomas told Axios in an email.

The newest Razorbacks have the highest-ever average high school GPA of 3.87, which university leaders say is promising for its goal to increase graduation rates . NorthWest Arkansas Community College saw a 6% increase in freshmen this fall, compared to fall 2025,
