Clemson University Top Questions

#1 is not accurate, as many students at Clemson do care about class and most are very intelligent. This school has morphed into a technologically-advanced school recently, and has distanced itself from its agricultural 'roots' (no pun intended!). #2 is accurate, because students that go to Clemson ARE very very involved in extra-curricular's on Campus.

Not at all, people of all races interact with each other.

yes!

yes the greek life is accurate...you really do get the feeling that they think they are better then everyone else the football game stereotype is also correct...they are what you look forward to every year! soooo much fun! Clemson games have a certain feel that no other school has...

they're accurate to an extent. for those die-hard clemson fans, absolutely. for those of us who just like clemson's education, probably not so much.

unsure as of now

I think it's true that the students have a lot of pride, and if you haven't experienced it yourself, it could be mistaken for arrogance. Like every other college, college students attend Clemson. Parties happen. On the other hand, it's fairly true that Clemson is on the conservative end as far as public universities go.

yeah

Yes, I believe these stereotypes are very accurate.

The stereotype about the country and not being able to compete is not true at all. The other stereotypes are as true as can be and that is the way we see this school, community and the great friends that you will make here whether you start here or transfer in.... we all make this university and care about it greatly along with one another.

Wouldn't know.

not true at all

These stereotypes are not true. Once you become plugged into the school and meet other students, become involved in extracurricular activities, and become familiar with the area you are apart of a special "click". It is hard to describe but it is a special feeling you cannot get at another institution. The students make up the town of Clemson. During the summer it is a ghost town; but during the fall and spring semesters it is alive. 17,000 students from across the world, nation, and state make this a unique place to learn.

To a certain degree, but then again; some of my best friends come from places like California, Texas, Florida and Boston who fit in great.

Not quite sure... but sports are indeed a major part of campus life here at Clemson.

These stereotypes are inaccurate, Clemson has developed an excellent science, math, and enginneering curricula. Also, the Clemson Carolina rivalry is a healthy one there is excess in animosity.

There are all types of students at Clemson. There are some who are into fraternity and sorority life. There are some who are into agriculture and are proud of it. But these are not the only people. There are all types of people. Clemson is not as diverse racially as it could be but it's getting better especially because of students studying abroad from other countries.

clemson students to party a lot, but only if you are into that scene. there are a lot of other students that don't party, like me. i'm just not into that stuff so it is easy to find other things to do.

I think a lot of the students come from wealthy families, but it is not true that most of the students fall into this category. Many students have second jobs and scholarships! Clemson may be a small town, but it is on a system of lakes and only a short drive from the mountains. The people are friendly and helpful.
