来自DFW的野马

Like anything else, it’s always helpful to hear straight from someone who has first-hand experience. Hear why some of our SMU Mustangs from the 达拉斯 area decided to # Stay4SMU and why they’re glad they did.

    达拉斯的SMU is a hub of amazing experiences and great opportunities to explore. This city has so many great restaurants, museums and fun activities.

    SMU帮助了我 define and advance my educational and career goals. There are so many classes available to explore my passions. A philosophy class has been one of my favorites because it expanded my mindset and taught me to navigate difficult conversations and situations – great skills for a student on the pre-law track.

    达拉斯是 a lively, bustling city with a ton of places to visit and things to do. 这是家.

    SMU是 a place where you can dream and achieve thanks to world-class professors who genuinely care about your well-being as a student and as a person.

    SMU也 塑造了今天的我. I will never forget how it felt after Convocation – SMU’s official welcome to first-year students – to walk out of 达拉斯 Hall and realize that I was, 事实上, a college student starting a new chapter. People here have shaped me in huge ways by encouraging and challenging me. I am forever grateful for the community I’ve created and nurtured here.
