Arkansas (the state) sometimes gets called "midwestern" or compared to places like East Tennessee or West Va.
If you look at the entire state, about half of it is more like Mississippi than any other state. The University just happens to be up in the hills. And rather than midwestern, I think of western Arkansas as being more like the southwest. Watch True Grit. Lots of the "wild west" stuff of lore happened along the Arkansas border with Indian territory. W. Ark has a lot more in common with East Texas than it does Kansas or Nebraska.
