Year I joined the Office of Admission: 2024

Favorite thing about SMU: My favorite thing about SMU is the campus landscaping! Campus looks like it is out of a movie every season of the year, no matter the weather. It feels so homey and academic all at the same time. I am constantly forgetting that we are just miles away from downtown Dallas.

Favorite place on campus: Dallas Hall lawn is the perfect place to meet up with my friends during lunch and enjoy the weather and the surrounding campus community.

Favorite place in Dallas: The Dallas Arboretum is a great spot to spend a day walking around and exploring. They change the decorations seasonally, and every inch is a perfect photo op.

Favorite restaurant near campus: Rodeo Goat has the best burgers! Every month they do a “Battle of the Burger” and put two burgers against each other. They also have the best sweet potato fries!
