“The thing I love most about the Armstrong community are the opportunities that it presents for students to get involved throughout the year. Everything from leadership roles within Commons Council to teamwork during intramural games provide experiences for students to grow individually while bonding together as a whole community.”

“The best tradition at Armstrong Commons is that we get to have a water balloon fight with our arch nemesis: Crum Commons. Whenever I share this tradition with friends who live in other commons, they wish they could be part of Armstrong.”

You've heard of boulevarding. Armstrong has Armstrong-ing. Friday afternoons in the fall, we head out into our quad, grill up a delicious snack, play spike ball, and throw a Frisbee or a football. This tradition brings together our residents and highlights our value of inclusivity.


You see, our neighbors across the way at Crum Commons are kind of like our younger siblings. We settle our sibling rivalry with thousands of water balloons after Stampede Kick-Off each August. Without a doubt, we won last year, and we know that with your help, we will emerge victorious once again. The bonus? When the battlefield has cleared, many Armstrongers meet friends that last a lifetime at the post-battle social.

Engage Dallas is a place-based community engagement initiative via SMU’s Residential Commons to address community needs focusing on South and West Dallas. The initiative is a long-term, university-wide commitment led by students to partner with local residents, organizations, and other leaders to positively impact the community. There is equal emphasis on campus and community impact stemming from the initiative.

In Armstrong Commons, we focus on Homelessness as a community need in Dallas. Armstrong students address this by collaborating on service events and activities with local partners, The Bridge, Austin Street Center, and The Stewpot, to directly help those most in need. Our students who serve gain a broader understanding of current social problems, build community with both the city and their peers, and can earn their Community Engagement Proficiency required for graduation. Engage Dallas cultivates unique and enriching experiences for SMU students to explore and serve Dallas!

The University of Texas at Dallas provides housing on an individual contracted basis. We offer housing options based on one bed per student, and we do not allow a student to reserve more than one bedroom except in limited cases for family housing, if available.


Residents are invited to apply to be part of our Living Learning Communities (LLCs), where first-year students with similar majors and interests live together, study together, participate in social functions and have the opportunity to interact with faculty. Participation in LLCs is limited, and communities are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. LLC acceptance takes priority over roommate requests.
