Although it's difficult to capture all our favorite memories in a single picture, I tried my best and put together a collage. Remember the saying all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy :)

Dedman Center

Dedman Center is the largest indoor sports center at SMU, located at 6000 Bush Ave, Dallas, TX 75205.

You can get access to the center by your student ID (one day after activation). There are basketball courts on the first floor, indoor runway on the second floor, gym and swimming poor on the first floor underground and a lot of other equipment. Most of them are free, however they do charge on sports such as rock climbing. You can rent any related equipment with your student ID such as basketballs, badminton and pingpang.

There are also sports clubs that have rehearsals or activities in the center. I personally attend the SMU Ballroom Club because I have learnt Latin ballroom for a long time. We went to the competition called ‘Dance with Owls’ in November at Rice University Huston. I felt honored to be part of the team and won the group competition.

Generally, you can find a lot of fun outside the program. If you are a sport guy, Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports is definitely the place you want to spend your spare time.  

FYI: For more information about the center, see the link below.

What's for lunch?

One of the things we love about SMU is being able to try all kinds of restaurants in the area. We went to a Vietnamese restaurant a few times before and decided to try an Indian restaurant this time.  Here we are at  Bawarchi Biryani Point after a 3 hour group project meeting.  This is McKenna, Bin, and Cong's first time at an Indian restaurant.  McKenna loves her dish but Bin not so much! Cong was just hungry so he ate all his food. Kiran, who's originally from India, decided to try a South Indian dish which she doesn't usually see on menus.  I ordered her favorite dish at this restaurant - Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. -- Anne

On the Boulevard!

One of the best things to do on campus in the fall is head out to the boulevard for some pretty awesome tailgating! Tailgating usually starts all over campus around 2 hours before every home football game. As a Cox student, you have access to some of the best tailgating on campus. There's free food, free drinks, and lots of tables so you can meet all sorts of people. There's always music playing, you can usually find Peruna the Pony (Yes, a REAL pony!), and don't miss the parade down the boulevard to the stadium.

The band!

 I always love wandering around to see what is going on all over campus. You can usually find fun little things like photo booths and bean bag toss.

Me with my parents at Parents' Weekend.

Tailgating is a great way to take a break and have some fun during your busy semester, and I would totally suggest everyone go at least once. It's just so much fun!

So, put on your boots and head on out to the boulevard!
