SMU is a multi-building destination, so the best transportation plan depends on whether the passenger is visiting admissions, attending a ceremony or game, meeting at a professional facility, or combining SMU with nearby Dallas destinations.
Getting to the Right SMU Destination for a Campus Visit
For general undergraduate admission visits, SMU lists the Laura Lee Blanton Building at 6185 Airline Road as the physical location for Undergraduate Admission. If your SMU confirmation identifies this building, include the address and appointment time in your Starlink Limos reservation. If your visit starts somewhere else on campus, use the destination shown in your university itinerary rather than assuming every SMU visit begins at the same location.
SMU is located in University Park within the Dallas area, so a university trip may also include a nearby hotel, restaurant, residence, meeting, or another Park Cities destination. For transportation that begins or ends outside the campus itself, our University Park limo service can be arranged around the passenger’s broader itinerary.
Admissions, Tours & Student-Family Arrivals at the Blanton Building
University Park strictly enforces resident-only parking districts surrounding the campus, making neighborhood streets off-limits for visitors. Booking a private ride directly to 6185 Airline Road allows families to skip the hassle of finding visitor garages and walk straight to the Admissions front desk for their tour.
For groups arriving by bus or another large vehicle, SMU currently asks organizers to arrange campus bus parking at least 14 days in advance because surface parking for buses is limited. Groups using private transportation should confirm any required campus arrangements directly with SMU and provide Starlink Limos with the approved arrival or pickup information before the trip. Many students and families visiting from outside the area arrive through DFW and other regional airports and arrange private transportation directly to their scheduled SMU destination. Our DFW airport car service can connect the airport with campus without adding another transfer to the trip.

Choose a Vehicle for Your SMU Trip
Vehicle choice can depend on the number of passengers, luggage, and purpose of the SMU trip. A sedan may suit an individual traveler or couple, while an SUV provides additional passenger and luggage space for families. For larger groups attending campus events, graduations, or university programs, a Sprinter van may be the more practical option.
SMU Event-Day Transportation Requires a Different Arrival Plan
Major SMU events can change normal campus access and parking, making the event venue an important part of the transportation plan. SMU’s current guidance distinguishes football parking from academic-event arrangements, while major-event parking can be limited or unavailable.
Ford Stadium, Moody Coliseum & McFarlin Auditorium
SMU events take place across different campus venues, so the event name and location should be confirmed before the ride. Gerald J. Ford Stadium hosts football and the university’s May All-University Commencement, while McFarlin Auditorium is used for Baccalaureate and other university programs. Moody Coliseum also hosts athletics and university events throughout the year. Event-specific traffic, security, parking, and access arrangements can differ from an ordinary campus visit.
When booking with premium black car service for an SMU event, provide the specific venue and event schedule so that our professional staff can plan the trip around the correct destination. These details become especially important when an event changes normal campus access or uses a venue with its own arrival instructions. Because event arrangements can change, passengers should use the venue and timing shown in their current SMU event information when reserving transportation.

SMU Visits Can Combine Admissions With a School-Specific Campus Experience
An SMU campus visit may include more than one scheduled stop. A family might begin with an admission visit and then attend an information session or tour with an individual academic school. SMU currently provides visit opportunities involving undergraduate schools including Cox, Dedman, Lyle, Meadows, and Simmons.
When a visit includes several appointments, provide Starlink Limos with the confirmed times and locations. Transportation can be arranged as a direct transfer, return trip, or hourly chauffeur reservation when the itinerary includes multiple SMU or Dallas stops.
Coordinate Your Schedule From the Blanton Visit to an Academic School Session
Different university activities may begin at different buildings or times. Instead of assuming every campus visit follows the same route, use the locations shown in your confirmation when arranging the ride. For example, Meadows currently offers academic information sessions and tours that can be combined with other SMU visit activities, while class-observation requests may require advance planning. Starlink Limos can arrange transportation around the confirmed itinerary without needing to reproduce the university’s full admissions schedule on this page.

What Our Clients Say
SMU Has More Than One Visitor Destination Beyond the Main Campus
Not every SMU visitor is heading to an admissions office or athletic venue. The campus area also includes destinations with their own visitor arrangements, including the James M. Collins Executive Education Center, the George W. Bush Presidential Center and the Meadows Museum. Their locations and access instructions differ, so the specific destination matters when planning the ride.
Collins Center, Bush Center & Meadows Museum Have Different Arrival Needs
The Collins Executive Education Center is at 3150 Binkley Avenue and hosts Executive MBA, Executive Education and related professional programs. The Bush Center is at 2943 SMU Boulevard and maintains separate visitor parking and transportation guidance, while the Meadows Museum at 5900 Bishop Boulevard directs visitors to the Meadows Parking Center through the Bishop Boulevard campus entrance.
- Professional programs: A conference or executive-education booking may be tied specifically to the Collins Center rather than a general SMU campus destination.
- Bush Center visits: The center publishes its own arrival and parking information, including designated arrangements for ride-share users at certain events.
- Meadows Museum: Museum visitors follow a separate parking approach from the main campus, using the Meadows Parking Center via Bishop Boulevard and Schlegel Street.
For visitors using Starlink Limos, providing the exact destination name and address at booking helps match the ride to the correct SMU-area facility, especially when the itinerary includes a professional program, museum visit or Bush Center event.
What to Confirm Before Booking Transportation to SMU
Before reserving transportation to SMU, confirm the building or venue, requested arrival time, passenger count, luggage needs, and any return or additional stops. SMU uses multiple facilities for visits, academic programs, athletics, ceremonies, and public events, so the exact destination is more useful than simply entering “SMU. Having those details ready helps make the pickup plan clear before the trip. Arriving through DFW?

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About SMU Transportation
How early should I reserve transportation for an SMU graduation weekend?
For major SMU graduation periods, reserving early is a practical choice because ceremonies bring large numbers of graduates, families and guests into the area at the same time. Earlier booking also gives you more flexibility when arranging a specific pickup time, passenger count or return plan.
What happens if my SMU schedule changes after I have booked the ride?
Let Starlink Limos know about the updated schedule as soon as possible. Changes such as a different appointment time, an earlier departure or an added stop may affect the original transportation plan, so updating the itinerary ahead of the ride helps keep everything coordinated.
Can I book hourly chauffeur service for several SMU and Dallas stops?
Yes. Hourly chauffeur service can be useful when the itinerary includes several appointments, university activities, dining, hotels, meetings, or other Dallas destinations rather than a single point-to-point transfer.
Can I arrange transportation for relatives arriving separately for an SMU event?
Yes. Separate arrival times can be incorporated into the transportation plan, which can be useful when parents, grandparents or other family members are traveling from different places and need to meet for the same SMU-related occasion.
What should I do if my SMU event finishes later than expected?
Contact the transportation provider as soon as the schedule changes. For a trip with a flexible return plan, Starlink Limos can adjust the transportation arrangement based on the updated timing and availability.
