Living on campus
If you think residence halls are for dreaming, you’re partially right. Residence living is also great for pizza parties, study groups, and spontaneous socializing. They are great places to get connected and make lifelong friends. And since all first-year students live on campus, SMU provides plenty of options, like theme halls for Honors students or those into the arts. If you’re a dancer, it’s nice to live somewhere with a practice room. Each hall has its own personality, but together they help build a sense of community. Visit Residence Life and see what we mean! You can choose from:

First-year Students Halls
Four-class Halls
Honors Hall
Fine Arts Community
Perkins Learning Community
Substance-free Community
SMU Service House (upper-class only)
