Reviews of Southern Methodist University (College)

Clean campus

Udo Ka

I graduated a couple of years ago. I loved what the school had to offer, but as an intellectual who loves meeting various new people, it was hard for me socially. The school provides a good education in whatever your major is. I was disappointed in the classes for non-majors, though. Make sure you meet students in the program's you're interested in because each program is different. The campus is gorgeous. Good amenities. A plethora of resources -- it's even pretty easy to win a scholarship or grant to fund a project you may be working on. Even I, a student with a 2.0 gpa at the time (I should have dropped a few classes and changed my major to something I really loved but that's another story) was able to get funding for my projects just by being able to propose a well presented idea. Lots of opportunities at this school to create a movement, project, invention, masterpiece or stake your own claim to fame. The other students you encounter fall into the trap of trying to impress the dallas and California born blue bloods (aka rich kids who never learned how to do their own laundry until first day of school -- until they figure out there is a laundry service on campus). You have to make an effort to find a variety of students. You need to choose the right major for you, interact with the art students, join organizations you can learn from and care about and try to befriend your professors and teachers aides as they can become life long friendships. This school has a ton of opportunities. Make use of it. Make as much effort as you can to surround yourself with positive people of all walks of life and ages. This school can either break your bank or make you into a young adult with command, charisma, intellect and influence. :)

A widely recognized university but it is too expensive. There are less expensive choices with just as many opportunities available. Campus buildings are very beautiful and the pride for the school is visible, but again, there are other options available.

That's my future college even though I'm in 5th grade

As an alumnae and parent of a current student, I cannot recommend this fine institution more highly. (Yes, I am clearly biased.) I did not believe it to be possible, but my wonderful experience at SMU pales in comparison to my daughter's. This university only seems to get better with each passing year. Standards are set very high at SMU and the resources to achieve them are abundant. True, it is challenging... but extremely rewarding. The facility and staff at SMU are dedicated to each students' success. Graduates leave there well-educated and well-prepared for the real world. Not to mention the incredible network (ranked second nationally in strength, behind only Harvard). Having SMU on my resume has always opened doors. I have no doubt it will be the same for my daughter.

Southern Methodist University, also known as SMU, is located in Dallas, Texas and is currently one of the top three universities in Texas. Dedman College is the largest college at SMU and is where most classes take place throughout the day. Established in 1911, SMU is known for its ties to the family of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush. His wife, former First Lady Laura Bush, attended SMU and lived in Snider Hall during her studies. The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum honoring the 43rd President is located on the SMU campus. My friend Mizanur Rahman's son is also goes to this university. He stays in common name Armstrong Commons and dines in Arnold Dining Hall.

Erwin Kolish

A wonderful place to attend

Leesha Gilliland

This is one of the most outrageous colleges I've ever seen. They would not put up american flags for 9/11 because they felt that some of their students might feel, and I quote, "harrassed" by them. You can't make this up. The Nation suffered a tremendous loss that day and this school doesn't even have the patriotism or respect to remember those thousands of people that were murdered that day? Your ignorant students are offended? Well this school has offended me, and the rest of the sane American people as well. As I'm looking for a college I surely will NOT be looking at this school, and I WILL definitely guide my peers to not choose this university as well.

Yun-Mo Sung

Good school. Expensive.

Nirav Vikmani

outstanding campus

Suren Xavier

I am a second generation student here, and I absolutely love it! SMU is a world class university!

David M Danish

This University is an embarrassment! What a sad community. Removal of any American flag where my tax money is shared is not a place where any of my family or friends belong. UNAMERICAN!!!!

Jeff Minandar

The library caters all my need.

Damarys Lopez

Beautiful place to walk around. We had a great time showing our son the campus.

Eric McLaughlin

One of the most beautiful university campuses in US

Luna Qwerty

It's the perfect place for preppy, basic, spoiled, upper class kids who are obsessed with Greek life. If you want any kind of open mindedness, diversity, kindness or a sense of community within a university, turn and run as fast as you can. I'm counting down the days until I graduate and I hope you don't make the same mistake I did by choosing to come here. While we do have one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen, that alone is not enough to make up for their blatant lack of respect for students. All they care about is getting the next batch of paying students in so they can continue building bigger and better structures to attract more paying customers with no regard to current students or their needs. This self fulfilling cycle of pessimism and greed will drive this school to the ground one day. At least I hope so.

That school is the beast i no because i go ther

Brittany Knowles

High expectations, great opportunities, beautiful campus, brilliant professors! LOVE SMU! Pony Up!

Amanda Wonton

SMU has a beautiful campus, and students here have the opportunity to earn fairly decent jobs. BUT, the school and its administration does not care about it's current students at all. They are entirely focused on the next batch of paying students, while neglecting the needs of the current students. No matter what you do if you end up attending school here, DO NOT listen to the academic advisers. They commonly mislead students into taking additional coursework they do not need in order to extend their time at SMU and earn more money. They also do not offer the classes needed to finish the program you're in each semester, but will not advise you to take them while you can. Instead, they advise you to take other classes. Additionally, the financial office is consistently incompetent, and often "accidentally" charge students with misc fee's, and then make you argue for months to repeal them. The whole point of attending a private school is smaller class sizes and an administration that cares about the individual students. The administration would rather water the grass than hire a decent professor who actually knows what they're talking about (I often have to correct my professors based on what I was taught in the real finance world (at JP Morgan))

I went on a summer fieldtrip and I saw the jim there was subway and more so cool and awsome.

Tyson Koponen

Judgemental institution that doesn't respect law enforcement and has no respect for the United States of America

Dat Tran

Eh

Debbie Jennings

It is about the most disrespectful college. To deny 9/11 is appalling and for a place that has support of a former president, it saddens me to see you bow down to whining kids because they are "offended".

Kevin Brown

Awesome campus.

Let's See

A school that buckles to atheist and hate... not a safe place to learn.. SMU does not support our military!!

Robert Tack

Mustang Day was impressive. Beautiful campus. Plenty of internship opportunities. Student campus tour guide was informative and friendly.

T O

From what it sounds like the people who are supposed to support and protect their students failed miserably and supported a rapist instead of aiding the victim. The counselor who worked with Megan should be terminated.

Jessica Parker

After reading the previous post I had to share some insight on my experience with Clerence, the owner of Campus Chefs, a company contracted by SMU. As unfortunate as it sounds, I'm just glad there are others who are willing to shine light on Clerence's poor excuse of a "professional company". His lack of management and treatment of his employees is simply pathetic. This man doesn't know how to take care of his employees let alone run a company. I know he has hard working employees, something I can't say for Clerence. It's frustrating that those who are contracted with him don't see the lies and continuous fraudulent actions this man has made.

Steven Donaldson

Highest caliber of students second to Rice in Texas. Amazing campus. Great connections. Great academics. Pony up!

Disrespect of law enforcement.

Saadia Iqbal

Not just a school but definitely an experience. You grow is so many ways and lots of opportunities for getting involved. Small classes and lots of help!!

EB Kelleher

Terrific university - a hidden gem in the middle of Dallas. Beautiful campus and great academics!

John Wilson

I really don't appreciate this Clarence Boyd screwing over a good friend of mine that worked for him. He really thinks he can get away taking taxes out of employees checks and not reporting the income of employees. I want the IRS TO RIP CAMPUS CHEFS APART AND SMU YOU NEED TO OUST THIS CROOK.

Rajon Sanders

The best school -- anti-guns, safe, sophisticated, and anti-flag-waving-manic! the perfect place to spend my hard earned money.

AllMrPlatypus

Great lookimg campus but the staff and adminstration is bad when it comes to enrollment. I have been trying to enroll in classes for the last 6 months and the samething continues to happen. They put it off until its too latr and classes start. I keep getting told that its a transfer issue so they send to adminstration than they tell me its on the registrars office. Also apparently the G.I Bill doesnt cover all of SMU tuition and either gone have to pay out of pocket or you use the yellow ribbon whatever. Either way its been really annoying dealing with them.

Adolphus Moore

Pony up tempo!

Pedro Ovalle

fortnite better than this shcool

Christian F

Great school, plan to go here for law school. This place gets a lot of hate in regards to their tuition but realize this is an investment. #smu

Don Corl

Lying POS professors who teach kids to be communists. That's what you get when you send your children here. Here is the kicker, You Pay For It!!!

Keith Adler

Beautiful. School here was awesome.

HAMAD ALYAHYA

I have been there.

Leigh Hua

This campus is beautiful...just happened to stumble upon it while visiting the George W. Bush Library.

Johnny Jonte Boucher

Highly qualified education faculty

Drew Bdriving

This campus is very well maintained and you get the traditional feeling of a university in the middle of a large city.If you have the opportunity to attend it is a great university.

Mike Young

If you can afford to attend a small private university, Southern Methodist University should be on your list of places to consider. The campus itself is beautiful with well-manicured landscaping. It's worth a night-time visit just to see the downtown Dallas skyline from the campus. The faculty is top caliber. However, this is not the place to go if you're on a limited budget, i.e. there's unlikely to be a positive return on your investment in the tuition if you have to borrow most of the funds to attend as student loans.

Keith Ertl

Priorites are important

Frida Camoos

amazing!

Daniela Hernandez

It's a beautiful campus

Puneeth Sajjan

Pros: Beautiful campus, Great student culture, Variety of educational opportunities (i.e. Double-Majoring) Con: Very expensive tuition fees

Mukesh

Beautiful campus. Poor parking facilities.

michael swinford

Your university has to be the most unlearned bunch of liberals i have ever seen. Is this college just for left leaning democrats ? Or just whining snowflakes that are looking to be offended by the American Flag ? You need to get a backbone or close your doors, your people aare teaching kids how tonot survive in the real world.

Melinda Cotten

Great business school.

CASE BROOKS

Great college, definitely the school I look forward to going to in 4 years. Beautiful campus and an awesome time I'm looking forward to.

Robert Valdez

Southern Methodist University’s recent decision to relocate a memorial to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks over concerns students might be “triggered” caused outrage across the fruited plain. College students do not have a constitutional right not to be offended. Shame on SMU for coddling these snowflakes (university students). SMU upper echelon administrators =leftist idiots.

Zhen Li

Great place to social and study, recommend.

Peter Sommers

i am the 16 yr old child of an accounting director and we live 2 houses away from smu so i experience everything smu does from Tate lecture series' event (really good) to football games to graduation etc. and i have to say i love this campus, random students are nice to my brothers and i. the blvd before an smu football game is differently the place to be before a football game and also to experience smu tradition at its best and its fun atmosphere. i recommend it from my aspect but i have no idea about much else (degree wise) other than my brother is doing his undergrad schooling there in the honor system of the business school

Athar Khan

One of the best!

CC B

I smell money here. Everywhere. The facility is nice, dorm is pretty good, and cafeteria food is awesome. Just one thing. The campus bookstore is facing in the big street, sometime undesirable people hang out around there.

Jim Turner

As an alum, I can say this is truly the best school in the nation. Professors are from the top schools (Yale, Princton, Harvard, etc). Like any place can get political but make your voice heard. The school is full of conservatives, not liberals. This is a very conservative state in a conservative town that won't be liberalized not matter how many Californians visit. :) LOVE this school!

Jordan Pierce

Parking place can be improved. But everything else is okay.

Tom Sheahan

Wow, prettier than Stanford

정재훈

Fantastic campus

Psychology instructor Berry stated she didn't like me and I should quit. (I was oldest student in class). It cost me $1500.

I love have scholarship program to bowling

Craig Trevor Weichmann

Regularly voted as one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation, it draws visitors from all over the world: George W Bush Presidential Library, Competitive Dance programs, World renowned engineering, and athletics program with storied past. Come by and see Dallas Hall.

Debbie Song

Restrictive since 2001, before 9-Eleven. Went there to access fax. Offered free educational lectures. Announcements posted at students' lounge. Attended awesome one in a classroom about Nazi butcher Dr. Mengule. Professors love their vocations and want to pass their smarts onto students. In the 70's my application to attend was accepted. Take Red, or Orange train to Mockingbird exit. Take elevator to the top, then right to the street with the light and another right puts you on westbound Mockingbird. Walk past all the shops and shade trees, cross Interstate 45 and it'll be in front of you. Mostly downhill walking to the entrance wall. There is a presidential library behind these walls. It was completed in 2010.

Hunter Barrera

Absolutely best school I have ever toured

Hassan Barzani

Nice school and great connections with amazing resources. Too expensive for me to attend here though. So many other great schools for cheaper prices across the globe than SMU Nation! Good luck to y’all!

祁婧照

Learn a lot of knowledges

Phuong Tran

Beautiful campus! Especially meadows school of arts architecture. Also George Bush library was just around the corner.

Teresa Nelson

I am a housekeeper in one of their buildings. Great school I have learned a lot in the past 2years.

Evette Brown

SMU contracts Campus Chefs own by Clarence Boyd who commits tax and wage fraud with his employees. Not reporting income of the employees and taking taxes out of the checks of employees and lining his pockets with it. I going to tell everyone newspaper and station I can so that they can be up there when school starts to see why they are contracting this CROOK.

Ben Burton

Nice

Max Joseph

Amazing campus and buildings. The school needs to spend more time, and money improving its academic standing nationally, increasing media coverage, and developing support from a larger part of Dallas's population - this isn't the "hometown team". SMU's football team is really a tragic story. It still haunts what would otherwise be a powerhouse school, and the campus suffers for it. The MBA programs are among the best in the country, a large supply of graduate, doctoral, and law offerings round out healthy graduate offerings.

Clayton Wertz

Outstanding college with beautiful campus in the heart of Dallas.

Pranav Ranade

Best University Campus, Institute, Sports Arena, Facilities in Dallas! I have ever seen! ❤
