Just around the corner, as well as just across the street from SMU, you'll find an abundance of stores, restaurants, and services on Hillcrest Avenue and in Snider Plaza, all within walking distance. These include banks, clothing stores, gift shops, dry cleaners, florists, hair salons, and restaurants with menus for virtually every taste.

Mockingbird Station and Highland Village are two of the nearest shopping villages. They're both just a few blocks from campus and feature collections of trendy shops and boutiques, restaurants, and movie theaters.

Students also have convenient options such as a computer store and internet cafe, hair salon, fast food restaurants, market, and post office right on campus in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center.

NorthPark Center, one of the largest shopping malls in Texas, is located just a few miles north of the SMU campus and may be reached by light rail and trolley shuttle arrangement or bus service. The center features more than 200 world-class specialty stores as well as sculptures, paintings and prints by famed artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
