After visits to both SMU and Texas A&M last week, it’s too close to call. Son like the campus more than he expected (but did mention he thought some of the campus felt a bit older but he did like that it was more of what he was expecting a college campus to be like). On the second day, he wanted to skip Rice and spend more time at A&M, so we toured the new Zachry engineering complex (absolutely amazing) and that’s where he’ll spend most of his time and the rest of the campus that seemed to ease his concern. We also discussed how some of the dorms had a military barracks feel to them. He’s leaning more to SMU for some non-academic, personal reasons (closer to home, proximity to Downtown/Deep Ellum). This decision will be down to the wire looking at affordability (SMU adds $15K a year after merit over A&M), major related considerations (A&M with the edge, though they both have the same offerings), class size (SMU with edge). Great… another 4+ weeks of debate (LOL).
