Clemson University Top Questions

There is a hugely wide variety of talented, dedicated, intelligent, and hard working students. The students around me are also diverse, and from different backgrounds or cultures. This has given me a great learning experience at my favorite college.

My classmates are strong and enthusiastic, they are always willing try work their hardest and are alway willing to do it with a smile on their faces.

Students at Clemson are very friendly and love their Clemson football. Students who don't like large schools will feel out of place.

There are a lot of them, but they known when it's time to study from when it is time to have fun.

Most of my classmates are very intelligent people with alot going for them.

The Clemson student is an academic, proud of his school and all of its accomplishments, unselfish towards other students, and most importantly motivated to learn for learning's sake.

1. Pretty much every student can find their own niche in Clemson. We have all sorts of clubs and groups for all walks of life. 2. A student that didn't like to meet new people would definitely feel out of place here at Clemson. There are new people to meet literally everywhere. 3. Most students wear tshirts and jeans to class, or athletic shorts during the warmer months to make frisbee after class a lot easier. 4. Yes, I know people who differ ideologically greatly, and are still good friends. 5. Well, while clemson does not have major social cliques, and anybody can get into any of them, you would have your fraternity brothers, your sorority sisters, your average joe's (80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of campus), and a very very small proportion of people that prefer to be alone rather than at a large table of friends. 6. Most of the students are from right here in SC! And, you can visit them at their houses during school breaks! 7. Middle-class 8. Yes, I have political debates with lots of people frequently, and the ones that I have see are mostly right, but some are more left. 9. It is in the student's mind how much money they will make, but a lot of students care more about doing what they love than doing what makes a lot of money.

Students at Clemson generally wear greek shirts; t shirts, hoodies, monogrammed bags...you name it! They tend to study engineering of some sort and have a good amount of free time to balance work, school, and social gatherings. It seems like many students work part time which seems to establish a sense of maturity. Students tend to be pretty conservative and sometimes its obvious that they were raised in a very conservative household where someone wouldnt dream of addressing a parent without using ma'am or sir. As a result, people from much more liberal states (northerners, westerners) might feel very out of place here.

One thing that I love about college is that cliques no longer exist. There is no social tier of who's the coolest, prettiest, etc. I don't think there is a particular type of person that would feel out of place at this school because there are so many different types of people here. The majority of students here are white, catholic, republicans that most likely come from a well-off family. There are people that dress nicely for class and there are others who just wear something comfortable. Most girls wear norts (Nike running shorts) and a t-shirt or jeans and boots with a cute shirt. The guys will either look super fratty (button down, Sperry's, some even wear blazers) or they'll show up to class in jeans and a t-shirt. Different types of students definitely interact, but you are naturally gravitated to the people who share the same interests as you. One social barrier here that really bothers me is that they separate Greek life into whites and African-Americans. Clemson is about 65{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in-state. Being from Philadelphia, I thought I was going to stick out, but there are a lot of kids from the north. There isn't a large barrier between north and south either. I have friends from all over the country. Engineers like to brag about how much money they'll be making in the future, but they deserve it because their classes are pretty difficult.

There is something for everyone on Clemson's campus. There are many students from many different backgrounds and they make sure everyone feels like they're at home. There are religious clubs, LGBT clubs, and groups that cater toward secific cultures and races. I'm not sure who would feel uncomfortable here. The majority of students are very preppy or jock style in what they wear. All sorts of different types of students interact, whether it be in the dining hall, class, clubs, or other activities. Most of the students here are from South Carolina or Georgia, but there are also a lot of out of state students, I'm form Massachusetts and I consider Clemson my home away from home. There is great involvement in student government if you persue it, and they send emails out to the student body with updates quite frequently, I would say there is a majority of conservative students here, but still a fair number of liberal students as well. Students here have a good grasp of what they want to do in the future and how much money they would like to make.
