My school is best known for two things - the quality academics and the basketball team. The academics are great and the teachers are always willing to help.

Instead of tailgating, we have boulevarding. There are giant white tents put up in front of Dallas hall and the rest of the main boulevard is full of spots that belong to alumni. There's free food and people of all ages (thanks to the families in the alumni spots), and it's just completely unlike anything you'll have ever experienced before. We boulevard before every home football game, and it's like a circus seeing so many people dressed up and wearing school colors walking around campus.

Former First Lady Laura Bush attended our school and the George W. Bush Presidential Library is being built on or campus currently. We also have a ton of professors that have been on the news. Also, our school has recently accomplished much recognition in sports. Students in other schools and universities most often attend our great events that include famous speakers.

Every year, the last Sunday before Finals, student gather around Dallas Hall with candles, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies, wait for SMU to light up Dallas Hall and the surrounding trees. It's beautiful!! They hand out free tshirts and they have students singing holiday songs!! It is a great way to relax right before finals!!

Our school is best know for its snotty, bratty and spoiled texas blooded students, but when I arrived their I found everything of the contrary. The mixture of the student body cannot be compared to any other and the open and welcoming atmosphere SMU has to offer welcomes all.

Even though SMU is good in all areas, such as arts and sciences, however, it is best known for its business school. The SMU Cox School of Business is ranked ninth in the nation. In addition, SMU is also known for having a certain social class of students - white, rich, Christian, and generally republicans. However, this shouldn't be a reason for minorities not to attend because it is a great school with great opportunities, and you can always find a group of friends that you identify with.

SMU is best known for the myriad of opportunities it can provide to students through its connections domestically, or internationally.
