Isabel and Frances talk about classrooms at SMU
One really cool thing about SMU is that 60% of classes have 20 or fewer students, which is crazy for a midsize institution! Isabel shows you around the Boaz classroom, which is one of the many classrooms housed in residential commons (dorms). These classrooms are often used for your DISC classes, which are discussion based English classes that are required for every student, and history classes.
