Southern Methodist University Top Questions

SMU is the perfect size; small enough to know plently of people but big enough to offer everything you could want in a university. Dallas is definitely not a college town but on the flip side, there is always something new to do or a restaurant to be discovered. I wish there was more school pride, our football games are never packed but hopefully June Jones can turn that around!

SMU us the perfect size. You get to know a lot of people, and there is always something to do. The class sizes are great as well. It is very easy to make a name for yourself in your classes, and you do not feel like just a number in a room. Dallas is a great city, and it is so much fun! I have been so happy with SMU and all it has to offer. It really is a one of a kind school. If I had to name one negative, it would be the sporting events, and they really are not that bad. We get to boulevard for football games which is a blast, and then we get to go watch the game. Granted, we are not amazing, but it is still very enjoyable.

SMU has been a great fit for me. It's a great size because it's just big enough that you're always meeting new people, but small enough that you are able to develop many different relationships with many different people. One of the things I've liked most is the availability of my professors and getting to know them. Dallas is a great city to be in and we are far enough away from downtown that the schools has a community feel and the big city is near by when you want to change things up. SMU also has a lot of school pride and sprit and the athletics are always improving. I think one of the biggest things lacking at SMU is diverse student interaction and diversity in general. However, as diversity is very improtant for schools throughout the nation to have I think SMU will be able to adjust accordingly. The school has strong student leadership and wonderful teachers that help make most things possible.

SMU is very chill. Half the time I don't even feel like I'm walking to class. I'm never in that much of a hurry to get anywhere. Though the stereotypes may be somewhat true, the campus is very diverse. When I tell people I go to SMU they're like "Oh...," thinking that just because I attend a rumored snobbish school, that I must also be snobby. When I'm on campus, I spend most of the time in my dorm.

SMU is the perfect size, it's big enough that you don't know everyone in your own grade, but small enough that you can see people you know walking to class. It's in Dallas, which is a thriving community. Not to mention that SMU sits in highland park, one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Dallas. SMU also has great night life, and social networking. The one thing missing from SMU is school pride, which I think is going to change soon once the football program takes off.

I absolutely LOVE SMU. It is perfect for me. The classes are small. The profs are so helpful. The social life is amazing. Parking and the advisors aren't the best, but those are the only complaints. SMU is just an awesome school where the students know that they are paying for a great education, facilities, and an alumni network to die for.

Pluses: The size is just right, the food is great, the campus is beautiful, and there are plenty of things to do if you get involved. Minuses: Very little school pride and too much emphasis on sororities/fraternities.

SMU is a large enough to be scared about just being one of many, but still small enough to have the professor know both your name and your history. If you want to you can be lost in the crowd, but it is not too hard to have everyone at least recognize you.

SMU is the perfect size. While walking across the beautiful campus you will see faces you recognize along with plenty of new faces. SMU is located within the bubble of Highland Park. The large city aspects are close by but the surrounding neighborhood reflects the upper class that occupies the area. Themed parties are the best and the busing to and from bars cuts down on a lot of drunk driving. We have immense school pride and are overwhelmed upon receiving a degree from such an outstanding university.

SMU is a great school that has uncrowded classrooms, allowing students to be pampered by their professors and receiving step-by-step instructions on how to execute a problem or prompt. The time these teachers and administrators put into their work truly shows through grades, recommedations, the students wanting to learn, and the success of students after the years of hard work at SMU.
