Question How big is the main campus?

Im trying to figure out how big the main campus. I’ve seen some sources say 412 acres, some say 512 acres, etc. Does anyone know?

But other sources say 412 acres. That’s why I’m asking this question.

Yeah well I'd believe the website of the actual place not other sources.

ah, gotcha. yeah i know when they do tours and stuff they usually say 412. so i think it's safe to say 412 is a solid answer.

Its confusing to me. This link, https://librariesblog.uark.edu/under-construction-a-brief-history-of-campus-planning/, says 512 acres, but then there's that picture that I showed says 412 acres.

There isn't a set number anywhere. It varies so much.

The 512 acres might be including the farmland off of Garland Ave but it's not connected to the main campus. So the main campus is most likely 412.

The reason why I’m asking this question is because I’m making this personal alternate history project of mine. One of changes is the location of the flagship University.

It’s something I’m trying to factor into the alternate history
