<p>All three schools have similarities and differences! Private, affluent, small classes, big Greek life, yes. I like that students MUST live on campus for two years at TCU and SMU -- it builds community. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>@Living61 - Tulane has the same residency requirement of 2 years.</p>
<p>There are a lot of similarities between the schools. Tulane is the most selective of the three, with the highest academic stats among the incoming freshmen. Also Tulane has a much higher research profile. While SMU is reasonably well known I think, TCU not so much despite their increased football success. But I would definitely bet that Tulane is the most well known outside of the South/Southwest. Just depends on what feels right to you about each school, once you take those factors into account if they make a difference to you. I am assuming that either cost is not a factor or all three are similar.</p>
