[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to grad school there and had at least three cousins get their BAs at SMU. The PPs nailed it...its like what you see of Alabama during rush on steroids in a very small environment. I think its a really good (and beautiful) school with solid academics but I think if a student didn't fit the typical mold it may be a very, very tough place to be. They called it Southern Millionaires University for years for a reason. I'm very glad I wasn't there as an undergrad because I think I would have really suffered. Grad school, however, was great.

My cousin's who attended all come from extremely wealthy families. I have a very vivid memory of one of the younger ones being very upset about the fact that her family didn't have a plane and her friends did (her family now has a plane). That is the kind of student body we're talking here. [/quote]

Always heard that everything was bigger in Texas, but do you really need a plane to get around campus ?[/quote]

No. Its a small campus. UT Austin and A&M have huge campuses but not no planes needed.[/quote]

Attended a fairly small rich kid school for college. Occasionally, a student would be brought to school via the family helicopter. Possibly where the term "helicopter parents" originated. Not sure.[/quote]
