The posts in this thread are accurate.
If you fit in, you won't be disappointed. Beautiful campus. If student has a car, it's interesting to just drive in any direction to get away for a bit. Students come from families that are comfortable with respect to financial matters. Seems a bi like a mating ground for folks who want their kids to marry well--not SMU well--but financially comfortable well. |
