Campus Life >> Overview

Visiting world leaders, rocking block parties, and a Top 10 city...this is the life.
It’s not every day you get to hear Colin Powell speak, help a group of friends build a house, swim your way to the finals, or catch a cool band on the lawn. Everyone knows that one of the best parts of college is the life that goes with it and this one’s full of opportunity. From student clubs and tons of intramurals to world-famous guest lecturers and a steady schedule of performances, there’s as much to do on campus as in the community.

No car? No problem.
If you don’t want to bring a car, don’t worry you won’t miss a thing. Besides all of the great activities on campus, there's also a lot to do right across the street, and a nearby light rail system makes the city accessible. There are numerous shops and restaurants within walking distance of the campus. Some of the best shopping and art in the world is also right here in Dallas. And since the forecast is predominantly sunny, you'll have plenty of chances to hike and bike around the nearby lake. Will that be before or after you polish off some award-winning Southwestern cuisine?
