Wait a sec, I totally disagree with this. Fayetteville is NOTHING like Cambridge, New Haven, Berkeley, Ann Arbor, Ithaca, Chapel Hill, Charlottesville, etc.
Fayetteville was a very, very small town until recently, and has almost no urban fabric. Moreover, the University of Arkanasas isn't really a major national university.
And the area is overwhelmingly Conservative and votes solid Republican.
The thing is that NW Arkanasas has experienced almost all its growth in the last 20 years, and almost 100% of the this growth is of the exurban, strip mall and tract house sort.
If you want urban or progressive and live in Arkanasas, Little Rock or West Memphis would be the best choices.
