Most of the posts on here are right on (both the positive and the negative). I came to SMU for law school and MAN am I glad that I didn't go here for undergrad! The law school is excellent (the snob level, believe it or not, is barely even perceptible here) and as far as networking and job opportunities go, I couldn't be happier. The campus is beautiful - I've seen quite a few and aesthetically this is second to none (Ivies included) and very safe. Dallas is a great city and there is never a shortage of things to do.

Now the bad news: The undergrads are pompous, entitled little twerps. I mean the worst of the worst. Most of the ones I've met have never worked a day in their lives, and this doesn't change when they are faced with a curriculum you could hardly call challenging. The undergrads I have dealt with are morons who came here because they didn't have the grades to get into Vanderbilt, UT, etc. For undergrad, if you have a hearbeat and can pay the ridiculous tuition, you're in, yet SMU still holds itself out to the world as a "prestigious" university. Financially exclusive, yes, prestigious, hardly.

Mostly a bunch of spoiled high tax bracket kids who wanted to prolong their prep school experience without having to apply themselves academically. It's mostly just a 4-year interim period until their parents hook them up with jobs or they earn their MRS degree. $50k cars are the norm and these kids have an uncanny ability to look terrible wearing the most expensive clothes. It's not like UVA, which looks like a J. Crew catalog, it's more like a competition of who can manage to look homeless while wearing $2,000 worth of clothes! The social scene is 100% greek and the drug use and date rape is epidemic, with several incidents of each per semester (and these are just the ones that are reported).

My verdict: Law School, MBA - this is a great place for you.
