Personal Experience - 5/18/2017
I have multiple friends and fraternity brothers who are from Alma and the area around it, that does not include Fort Smith. I am amazed at how well kept these people and their families are, and I love the school as I had a cousin go through school there and have heard her experience.However, I have also traveled through Alma plenty of times as I travel between Little Rock and Fayetteville fairly often. Anytime I have stopped in Alma for food, fellowship, or gas, i tend to see people and have experiences that I would rather not go through and see or experience again. This repeated series of awkward and sometimes offensive actions, including one man throwing a full gatorade bottle at a woman leaving the car to go inside, has led me to believe that the ones I have personal ties with tend to be more on the outskirts of town.
