Beat The SMU Rush!

With second semester not even underway it sounds crazy to talk about moving plans for the end of the school year.  However, in my experience the sooner the better when it comes to finding your next apartment or condo by SMU.  As a former student there, I can personally vouch that it gets pretty chaotic around March, April and May with everyone who has waited last minute to find a place.  So Why Wait??  Now is as good a time as any to start seeing what types of places are currently available and also what will be available in the coming months.
