SMU has a better reputation than TCU since Dallas has a bigger name than Fort Worth. SMU is more expensive, varied with international students, and sophisticated. TCU is an excellent school, but its student body is dominated by females. TCU has a very powerful football team that competes in the Power Five Conference. SMU was once a national football force, but it never recovered from the NCAA's death sentence in the 1980s. If a student wants to go to a school with a terrific football team, TCU is the place to be.
