Founded by what is now the United Methodist Church in 1911, Southern Methodist University welcomes students of many different religious backgrounds, remaining committed to academic freedom and open inquiry. A nationally ranked private university, SMU offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs through seven schools with small class sizes and hands-on research opportunities.
Commuters will find that SMU is convenient to U.S. 75 and Dallas North Tollway. Those wanting to live closer to campus will find many apartments available for rent nearby. If you’ll be frequenting the Dedman School of Law, focus your housing search on the north side of campus. Perkins School of Theology faculty and students should concentrate their efforts on the south side of campus. Wherever you’ll be spending time on SMU’s campus, you can’t go wrong with accommodations accessible to Hillcrest Avenue.
Less than five miles from Downtown Dallas, SMU is home to about 200 campus organizations as well as several museums and performance venues, so you’ll always find something to do.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
