About Little Rock, Arkansas
Little Rock is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Arkansas. Little Rock was named for a stone outcropping on the bank of the Arkansas River used by early travelers as a landmark, which marked the transition from the flat Mississippi Delta region to the Ouachita Mountain foothills. The Arkansas Arboretum at the park features flora and tree plantings correspond to Arkansas's six geographical regions. (Wikipedia)

What you'll actually pay, by family income
Average net price (total cost minus grants and scholarships) paid by aided students in each family-income band.

Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.
Men out-earn women by $18,761 (32%) a decade out.
Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
