To......Principessa555 and everyone

Great!!!!! SMU is very good school for sure. Now I am in the United State and I will relocate to Dallas next month,but I don't have apartment yet!!! I've heard that it's hard to get a room on campus,so I might have to think about living off campus. Do you have any ideas which apartment is good and located near law school?

Hi to everyone!

I am going to sit for Bar Exam too.
I just got a letter from the housing dept., It seems like Hillcrest Manor is full for year 2008-2009, but there are some apts in Hawk and Martin Hall still available. You guys may have a try!

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Hey ! admitted SMU students

I just visited SMU last week. The campus is nice, but
Dallas is so busy. I think SMU is a good place for studying.
To everyone who have decided to live off campus, I recommend you to live in the Village. It is a good choice; however, if you do not want to drive a car, you should find an apartment that is located on Mustang bus's route. The bus take about 15-20 minutes from the Village to SMU.
Hope to see you soon

Hi! principessa555
I'm Pong. If you really want to live in the Village, The Green in the Village is a great one. Actually, I've decided to live there. Moreover, it is located on the Mustang's route.
Hope this might help.
