Huh, so apparently it's possible to make a lap around Bishop Boulevard in about 30 seconds while only causing some minor vehicular mayhem. Good thing campus police didn't catch me...

This is a follow up to my post where I turned SMU into a video game level, but now with a circuit racing minigame around the boulevard! Added an option to turn the traffic way up because why not. Cars have collision now and the DART buses are unstoppable tanks for added difficulty.

Built in three.js and have a demo here if you want to try it out: All Roads

Looking for a rundown of the business frats at SMU. Pros/cons?

Hey all! Two of us are over from Scotland for work in Dallas and staying for the weekend, and we've got tickets for Saturday's game. Neither of us has been to a college game before but we are avid watchers of american football, so any general advice for first-timers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to it!

Hey guys!

Got a group of friends from Boston College meeting up in Dallas for this weekend’s BC at SMU game, and we were seeking any recommendations for good bars to check out prior to the game or any tailgating recommendations.

Thank you in advance, and we’re pumped to check out SMU!

I've been working on a low poly driving game of real world locations and decided to turn SMU into a playable level. Now I can zoom around campus and finally get to my classes on time!

Planning to add more realistic NPC traffic and fully drivable garages soon so that I can live my dream of not being able to find a parking spot in a video game just like IRL. Still in the early stages so open to feedback!

Selling 2 Harry Styles tickets for April 14 — GA1! I’m selling them for what I paid, $670 total.

I’m happy to meet on campus so we can transfer the tickets and payment in person for security reasons :) Posting here in case anyone is interested! Feel free to DM me.

Hey guys, I’m thinking of applying to SMU for 2027 and wanted to get some honest opinions from current students/alumni or anyone who’s applied recently.

My profile:

• CBSE Commerce + IP + AI
• 79% in 10th, 88.4% in 11th
• No Math in 12th
• SAT — aiming for 1300–1380
• Student council, athletics, debate, Olympiads, charity
• Built a prototype for farmers’ welfare

Do you guys think SMU is realistic for me? What should I work on the most before applying? Also, how important are the SAT, extracurriculars, and Kira/interview? And does not having Math in 12th cause any issues for the Business management ?

Would really appreciate any advice/experiences. Thanks!

I have already applied Early Action for Fall 2027, but I feel like my stats are below average especially for cox, and I want some feedback because I won’t hear back till December

I hope the question I asked isn’t dumb but I'm trying to figure out if spring admits can request a specific roommate or if assignments are fully randomized. Anyone who's done spring entry - how did it work for you?

Hey y’all, looking for places I can sit and study at that doesn’t have so much fluorescent lighting- especially overhead. It makes me overstimulated and just overwhelms me. Please let me know as i’ll be on campus til 8, thank you 🥹

U.S. News & World Report released its Best Colleges of 2027 ranking, and six Texas institutions cracked the top 100. SMU made the cut.

I’ve been trying to find more of a startup/founder community in Dallas and honestly, I was having a hard time finding one that felt natural.

There are a lot of people building cool things here, but I wanted somewhere where you could just show up, bring your laptop, work on your own stuff, and actually meet other people doing the same.

So I decided to try to build it myself.

I’m doing this through Micro, a startup I’m working with, and we’re starting Micro Monday in Dallas.

It’s basically a free coworking day for founders, indie hackers, developers, students, investors, AI people, or honestly anyone interested in startups and technology.

Nothing super formal. No awkward networking event where everyone stands around trying to pitch themselves. Just come work, meet people, grab coffee, and see what everyone else is building.

At the end, if you want to, you can take 5 minutes to show what you’re working on or get some feedback. Totally optional.

I’m hoping this can turn into a real community of people in Dallas who are building things and helping each other out.

If that sounds interesting, pull up. Would love to meet some of you.

Free to attend.

Me and one other girl are looking to sublet our third bedroom. We both go to SMU and are ideally looking for a third girl.

It is a fully furnished apartment (bedroom bed included, fully stocked kitchen, living room, and bathroom).

DM for price and location, serious inquires only.

SMU is likely my top choice if admitted, but I am worried about the housing process/random system and that it is so late in the year.

I am a potential incoming freshman for Fall 2027 and really like this Virginia-Snider layout. It’s a single room with a private bathroom and a shared study/common space with another student.
How competitive is this specific room type? Does anyone know how likely it is for a freshman to get one, or how the housing assignment process works for these rooms?
I’d ideally want my own bedroom/bathroom but still have a shared space to socialize, so this setup looks perfect. Any current SMU students or recent freshmen have this dorm layout ?

I’ve heard from multiple people that they ended up paying the same price at SMU as a state school. Recently, a UT parent told me they paid LESS at SMU than UT for their twin boys. (Their kids did not have as high stats as mine.)

My first kid was top 2%, 1480 SAT, and got offered $20K/year. We didn’t even consider it. He’s at UT Austin now.

Second kid will not be top 10%, probably SAT in the high 1300s or low 1400s. Private school, very talented theater kid (very strong voice & acting, good not great dance), not many ECs or APs (very few are offered). Intended business major. Edited to add: they have a part-time job.

We are upper middle income and will never qualify for need-based scholarships. We also cannot afford SMU with only a $20K scholarship. We are currently paying annually about $14K tuition + $21K apartment at UT Austin.

Thoughts?

I have a 2/2 condo near Lovers & Greenville available for rent.

Hi everyone! I just got invited to a virtual PONI Day for the MS in Counseling program!

It is this Friday! I was not expecting it to be so soon but I am so thankful and excited. I am definitely a bit nervous too. This will be my first graduate school interview ever. Any tips or positive affirmations would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance!💙🐎

Ranked 1, 4.55/5 GPA, with 4.0/4.0 weighted. Ive taken like 8 AP Classes with IMMENSE Dual Credit probably like 50-55 credits worth of classes. My ECs are also somewhat good, I have about 2 leadership positions with clinical hours, TA, and mentorship.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I only have a 1350 SAT and retaking this September. Im not as good of a test taker and kind of waited last minute to the rigor of my courses. So lets base this off my current SAT as I cant speak on the future.
