That's what SMU does for me. Once you visit, the choice is made and the other schools will never compare!

GET INVOLVED!!!

SMU is not the place to go if you're looking for an incredibly liberal student body that is extremely diverse. SMU's student body is the way it is, most people are confident, know what they want in life and will most likely achieve that so if you're afraid of getting lost in a crowd it may not be the place for you if you aren't planning on being greek, an athlete, or in meadows.

There's a certain type of person that goes to SMU: the person that knows what they want and what they want is everything. Quality education while having the time of your life. :) Pony UP!

SMu was a good school, it was fun, but I feel that it perpetuates an ideal for undergrads which almost no one can reach. It is virtually impossible to party anll the time and maintain high academics while still keeping a perfect appearance. I think this is why a large portion of the student body turns to illegal drugs for support, rather than counselors/peers.
