SMU is its own beast. Yes, there are students who have professional designers come to their dorm rooms and I did see two rolls yesterday, but there are also people who shop at 7-eleven and commute. A good friend of mine is from a millionaire family and still has the same disdain for the superfluous spending of money the typical SMU student has. I am a very good looking woman, if I am not within 5 miles from campus I get hit on left and right. However, when I am on campus, there are some days where I feel like mutt in a dog show. These girls wake up two hours early just to put on makeup and I swear Mattel gets their models for Barbie dolls from my classes.

If the whole world somehow died and SMU was the only place that survived, there would be some beautiful babies. Men wear watches bigger than footballs, have perfect bodies, and spend more time at the gym than they do in class.

The professors, on the most part, really do care and try to learn your name. There are several professors, even after I have taken their class, will talk to you for hours about anything and even help you get around the red tape the university calls scheduling. If you have a problem, they will you help you solve it.

The dorms are either so tiny a flea would be cramped, or huge. I LOVE the closets!!! They are huge compared to other schools. So do not have doors, like shuttles, but most of the dorms are renovated. Lived in one of the unrenovated dorms and we had personal feet warmers (aka: exposed hot water pipes.)

The social scene is mostly Greek, and after a Greek bus party or two most people find they either love it or hate it and go their separate ways. The Greeks get drunk on every day that ends in Y at the houses, pre and post gamming, beer pong and roofing people; and the other people have REAL friends hang out and develop friendships that will last longer than graduation.
