Describe a typical weekend.

Bora

A typical weekend at SMU depends on what you are in the mood for. Mostly they have parties and students go out Friday and Saturday night, leaving Sunday just to catch up on school work. However, if you do not like to party than you and your friends can go up to uptown and catch a movie, or have a nice dinner, or maybe a sleep over at your door (if you are a girl) and for guys you can explore Dallas, and spend your day in Uptown. Uptown has great shopping, and eating areas also, There are a lot of things to do at SMU and since the cafeteria is closed during the weekends it gives you a good excuse to gather friends and go out!

The typical weekend for a SMU student involves going out Friday and Saturday night to a preparty at some off-campus house and then to a bar in the heart of Dallas for the actual party. Then everyone sleeps well into the afternoon the next day. Literally, it's so dead on campus before 3 pm on the weekends that parts of the cafeteria shut down on the weekends and the other food place doesn't open until 6 pm. If you're up and about before then, you'll probably be one of the only one's on the entire campus.
