Clemson University Top Questions

The atmosphere is what sets Clemson University apart from other schools. The campus is beautiful and has a comforting feel. But a lot of campuses are beautiful, so the fact that almost everyone seems genuinely to care about how you are and that everyone seems generally happy, is what makes me want to stay and call my classmates "family". Join that with all the school sponsered activities and clubs, and it a fantastic school to spend your undergraduate studies at!

Clemson is a rather small school with a big family. The family atmosphere and sense of camaraderie amongst the students is remarkable. At many universities, students get lost in a large pool of numbers. Clemson cares about the student and their success. There are many opportunities available to prepare students for life after graduation and the faculty makes a genuine investment in the lives of the students during their time on campus.

You'll never understand the most unique feature of Clemson University until one is a student and an alumnae. Verbally explaning to someone why "Clemson University is incomparable" is not nearly enough to make someone understand. The most unique attribute of Clemson is the connection you feel with the university. It's the way you tear up when you see a Clemson commercial on TV, or the chills you get when seeing highlights of a Clemson football game. It's something you will ever be able to experience without having attended Clemson University.

Unfortunately, most of the schools I looked at were large SEC or ACC schools. Not too much makes it different from USC or UGA except for its small-town feel and its extreme school spirit. I actually attended University of South Carolina my first semester and then transferred here. Compared to USC, there is a ton of school spirit and it is a lot safer. I also feel as though there are more Christians here, less partiers, and more people focused on their studies. I have also noticed the academic workload to be far more challenging.

Our campus is beautiful and oritented so that all of our academic classe builings are within reach of each other. Surrounding the college town is the potential for endless opportunities to be involved in something wether that be hiking in the mountains or the short distances we are from major cities such as Charlotte, Greenville, or Atlanta. There is always something going on in Clemson, there is never a reason "I am bored" should cross your mind.

It was a perfect combination academic standing, beautiful campus and stong sports programs. Clemson is everything I hoped my college experience would be. The school is big enough so you are meeting new people all the time and small enough to have a personal feel.

Clemson University is unique in that Clemson students are connected through school spirit and love for our community. Walking through campus it is visible the people genuinely love Clemson and this love extends out into the enitre Anderson County. Clemson students give off such a happy, positive vibe that is contageous to anyone to visits. We are proud of our highly ranked acedemics as well as our sports teams and this pride is known to all. Clemson University is not just 20,000 students. We are connected in our tiger bond; we are a family.

They have a tigers for tigers program that allows students to go work to help preserve tigers.

Clemson offers an incredible amount of variety and extra-curriculars, along with great opportunities to embrace the Southern charm of South Carolina. Though it wasn't my first choice, I'm thrilled to now call myself a Tiger.

Our sense of community is extremely strong. We love our school, our town, and our lives in Clemson. There is no place I rather be than Clemson University. I feel like that is my home, everyone is so warm and caring that I could never feel alone there. I don't think I could attend any other college and have the same feelings as I do for CU, that it where I belong. I have yet to meet anyone who wants to leave.

Clemson is awesome!

Clemson has a very, very high level of school spirit, which can bring people together. It also isn't so academically driven that you never have fun.

Family environment that feels like home

The atmosphere is overwhelmingly comforting.

Compared to the other schools i considered Clemson has alot of school spirited students,techers and other staff members. Also Clemson was very welcoming.

When comparing the world's top public university to the other colleges I have recieved an acceptance into, my decision was obvious. People often ask me, why not UCLA, and I reply, "Well, I want to change the world, Berkeley is the place I'm going to build my foundation to do so." It is as simple as that. Berkeley, in only a year and a half has provided me with a completely different outlook on life. I want to take everything I learn here and utilize it outside in the real world to create positive change.

Clemson Univeristy is an agricultural school that originated in the late 1800s because people were fed up with there not being a school for agriculturalists. They built the school to oppose the University of South Carolina, which mainly catered towards politicians, engineers, and business majors.

It has a great community feel and everyone is a family. Even though there are 15,000 or so, you still know tons of people and the school doesn't feel too big.

The school spirit is incredible. Everyone gets really into sports and completely backs our teams up.
