The glory hole of West Memphis, AR.
yea frick that, worst town on the planet.
Fayetteville is a beautiful location and I love where it is. I sometimes wish it could be in Little Rock though. Or maybe Hot Springs?

yea but if tflagship had been in little rock it would be filled with little rock trash instead of the bastion of awesome that resides in the nwa

This thread on hogville would be gold. Would obviously have to bait the OP with Little Rock to give them a direction to follow.

If not Fayetteville, Hot Springs or Russellville.

A little further south. That way the University would not be running out of land against the Black Warrior river.

Certainly you understand why the land grant schools weren't put in the capital cities?
Small townships offered more land at a cheaper rate, allowing for cheaper contstruction costs and more room for future growth. Also getting the kids out of the hustle and bustle and evils of the cities and out into the countryside provide for more study time and less chances for the youth to fall prey to the vices of man.
As for Arkansas the NW part of the state were the poor rock farmers that eeked out the most meager of livings, while the Delta was where the cotton farms and plantations were at and where the $ and centers of influence were. The transformation of the NW part of Arkansas over the past 30-40 years and the decline in the delta is absolutely remarkable and really an unparalleled phenomenon in a shift of population and socioeconomic factors.
Fayetteville was the perfect location in terms of providing economic stimulus to the NW section of the state, it's not reachable by water, roads/trails were few and terrible (still are), education opportunities were non-existent save for the college at Cane Hill (first university in Arkansas founded in 1834.
Russelville has Arkansas Tech, but the U of A likely should have been there as the Arkansas River passes close by and it was on the major East/West trail.

Every time I drive across the bridge, the smell of West Memphis reminds me of stale French fries and locker room sweat. Truly the armpit of America.

I'd say somewhere in the hill country a bit outside of metro Austin. Marble Falls would be awesome. It would maintain the rural country feel of A&M but give us the awesomeness of the hill country, lakes and Colorado River right by campus

No No No. Fayettville is too isolated from the rest of the state. Even Russellville would be better. Little Rock would be ideal for the entire state.
The location of the flagship university in NWArk is undoubtedly one reason AR is among the least educated states, in terms of residents w/ a bachelors or better, in the country.

I'd keep Auburn where it is, but move Lee County to Georgia

Austin.
It would have been a perfect storm of weirdness, plus I was born and raised in Austin.

I like USC's location in Columbia. It is what it isn't. If someone wants a campus far away from civilization, then they can go to a school like that. I liked how USC was downtown. It's close to business, 5 points, the Vista, Ft Jackson, the State House, etc....
USC is planning and building infrastructure towards the Congaree River, which will be nice. Also it's nice what they are doing with the visual appeal around campus. There is a lot more vegetation around campus now and renovation to many key buildings, since I went there. We're getting a new business school, law school, nano-tech center, future fuels research building etc...and that's being built in the direction of the river.

I'd put the Swamp on City Island next to the the Halifax River in Daytona Beach.
Tons more hotel space in 'tona than Gainesville, plenty of dock space for a Gator Navy, and nice ocean breeze to keep the temps manageable. Ingress and egress wouldn't be much different than Gainesville.
