    All the facilities are top-notch. Furthermore, there are several grants and scholarships which serve to make SMU affordable.

    SMU is a well financed small school so it has smaller class sizes. It is easier to get to know your professors. Despite the fact that the school is small, there are a lot of fantastic opportunities from studying abroad to internships. But the school is very expensive.

    Okay, to be fair SMU is really expensive. And though I love it so much, it is really hard to justify charging that much for any university, no matter how amazing it is.

    SMU is definitely expensive. There is no doubt about it. However they provide numerous scholarships for academics and athletics, as well as financial aid. Don't be scared to apply due to the cost- the last they can do is not offer you any scholarships, which is highly unlikely.

    The scholarships really make this education worth it. The original price tag is a little alarming but very few people actually pay full price. The education and opportunities received from SMU make it extremely valuable.
