<p>S is a senior at a top private school in New England and is looking at both TCU & SMU. My spouse is concerned about the experience for a student from the northeast. He is used to schooling with wealthy, elitist kids (not that we could be described as such), so that is not a problem. Just concerned if kids from the NE are comfortable there. Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi @MylesCK! </p>
<p>Just to give you an idea about numbers Connecticut is our #4 state among entering freshmen, and New York is #8. Texas is about 45%, and California alone makes up around 20% of the student body. I say this to show that while SMU is in Texas, people here are from all over the country. One of my favorite things about going here is that my friends are literally from everywhere!</p>
<p>Great! Thanks for the info. We’re looking forward to our visit.</p>
