All About

Living in Southern Methodist University, TX

Southern Methodist University, an institution owned by the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church, has brought the excitement of student living and a top-tier education to neighborhoods near its campuses in Dallas, Plano in Texas and Taos, in New Mexico. The school's orgins date back to 1911, with the establishment of its flagship campus in Dallas. In the interceding years, SMU has become a household name for both its athletics and academics, and attracted many young scholars to student housing in the area. Today, about 7,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate students make their residence in a university apartment of dormitory as they complete their studies.

The appeal of student living at Southern Methodist University is heightened by several unique qualities of the school. For example, SMU is home to the recently anointed George W. Bush Presidential Library and the George W. Bush Policy Institute. In addition, the campus is the site of nearly 30 other research centers and institutes, and seven degree-granting schools. Academic programs include such exciting courses as a field archeology program, offered at the Taos campus. In 2012, the school ranked 62nd among National Universities by the U.S. News and World Report, and its business school has been ranked first in "Potential to Network" and in its course offerings in entrepreneurship.

The prospect of off campus housing adds another layer of excitement to Southern Methodist University students who wish to live in a university apartment. The off campus area is full of student hangouts, including Peggy Sue's BBQ, Kuby's Sausage House and Olivella's.

What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Southern Methodist University

Nice and quiet and a bit backwards-looking, where people often still pay cash in stores. We have a couple of very nice Mexican and Italian restaurants nearby.
