Dallas, TX
If you want all the opportunities of a big city without the attitude, you've come to the right place!
Dallas, which boasts more restaurants per capita than New York City, has become a global
center of commerce and culture while still maintaining the feel of a medium-sized city. It’s
also one of the most accessible cities in the nation with two airports and a light rail system
with a station close to campus.
You can have sushi one night and authentic Tex-Mex the next. Take in the largest collection of
Spanish art outside of Spain right on campus (SMU’s Meadows Museum of Art) or the largest
collection of Art Deco architecture (Fair Park) in the world. With multiple nightlife districts, you
can hear all kinds of bands – local and national – or try your hand at swing dancing, salsa, or
a little techno. Not to mention Shakespeare in the Park, art-house flicks, and jazz under the
stars. You have a glorious, metropolitan city at your disposal.
