SMU or TCU

<p>Which is better academically and socially for a Kansas kid? I hear SMU is kind of stuck up, and my college counselor tells me she has had better luck sending kids to TCU and is kind of pushing me there. I visited both last spring and really fell in love with SMU but also really liked TCU. </p>

<p>TCU stands for what?</p>

<p>Texas Christian and Southern Methodist, but both are only historically faith based. On the tours they make it clear that they are not faith based universities. </p>

<p>Run the net price calculators on both before anything.Then bring the results to your parents and see what they think. If they think the costs are doable, apply to both. By Spring next year, the decision may have been made for you.</p>

<p>SMU has a better reputation, at least in business.</p>
