Campus Life

Umph as Umphrey Lee is affectionately called is where you'll catch most of your meals. Umph has improved over the years, now offering a sandwich bar and salad bar. Desserts are Umph's main attraction however. Mac's Place, located in McElvaney, is great for late night cravings or when Umph's selection just isn't cutting it. Einstein's Bagel, Subway, Chickfila are also alternate options. However, the best food is off-campus, right on Hillcrest and in Snider Plaza.

Mac's Place and Umph are okay, but I get sick of them very quickly. Luckily there are plenty of other options in the area.

The food on campus is not too great. Umph is the main cafeteria and has some good days and some bad. Mac's Place located in McElvaney Hall is great. They have good healthy options and a mini-mart to grab small things you need.

Despite what people say, Umphs is not THAT bad. The thing is that you might get sick of eating food prepared by the same people everyday. We're in Dallas, there's plenty of food places to explore.

Many options from the cafeteria and multiple vendors on campus.

The food is amazing...that's why you gain the Freshman 15! But don't worry we have a great gym to work it off

The food on campus is alright. Mac's Place is very convenient for late nights because it is open until midnight most weekdays. Umph isn't too bad...sometimes.

It is really great. Dining in meal plans is very expensive but very high quality. You will be sick of it by the end of your first semester. However, there are many cheap restaurants around the school that you can drive to which is really great.

Food is ok. Staffs are wonderful.

Food at Umph is really good and Mac's place is really convenient. Also, the food in Dallas is amazing and a lot of places offer discounts for SMU students.

Very large portion of school is Greek. However it is more important for guys to join than girls. Recruitment is in January which allows for potential new members to get to know all sororities and fraternities in the fall semester before rushing in the spring.

It feels like Greek Life is a huge part of the campus when in reality only a minority of students are actually associated.

Can anyone sum up the different sort of sororities and what the best ones to get into are?

Greek life is amazing at SMU. The sororities and fraternities not only have events to benefit their philanthropies but they contribute to the universities nightlife.

Is really HUGE on campus. When spring semester comes for freshman, about 50% of them rush. Stuff has to work with and around the Greek organizations. For example, Thursday and Friday might not be the best days to host an event.

Active.

This is the perfect school for the Greek in you

Fraternity is very good!!! Sometimes hard sometimes very fun!!!

Greek life is huge on campus. About 2/3rds to half of students are involved and they put on events all year long.

REALLY big here, a big percentage of the school is in some sort of frat/sorority, but it isn't that isolating if you aren't. Good thing is that if you are unsure that Greek life is for you, SMU doesn't rush until the beginning of the spring semester and it is pretty much guaranteed you'll get a bid, which is really convenient for the indecisive mustang.
