Diversity at Southern Methodist University
Although SMU is predominantly White, the university does try to promote diversity and make all students feel welcome. The student center has a department specific for multicultural students that offers programs and mentors to students that might not feel welcome. I am a minority at SMU and I do not feel isolated. I love SMU and I am definitely going to miss it when I graduate.

Athletics at SMU
The university offers many athletic facilities for all kinds of sports. Many students are involved in a sport but most attend the work out center everyday. Football is definitely a huge part of SMU and the fan support is amazing. Going to a football game is one of the best experiences here at SMU.

Financial Aid Process at SMU
SMU is very expensive. They offered me a decent amount of scholarship to help me but I still had to pay most of my tuition and fees. The financial aid process is long and sometimes the financial aid staff does not want to work with you or lose papers.

Academics at SMU
The teachers are very helpful and make the time to meet with you. There is also a free tutoring center offered at SMU that most people attend to get help with their homework. SMU has a great connection with internships and job opportunities. Our career center offers mock interviews and help with our resumes. Overall, if you want a great education and a job after graduation, SMU is the place to be.

Campus Housing at SMU
Most of the dorms are okay, but the upperclassmen dorms are great. They offer a lot of variety. However, the room and board cost is quite expensive.

Off-Campus Housing
SMU is at the heart of Dallas; therefore, there are numerous apartment complexes near SMU. Most of the apartment complexes have availability and offer gated parking. If you want a really nice appartment, then those are more expensive. However, ecomomic apartments are also near SMU.
