Clemson University Top Questions

It's a very great college to attend, the community is great, and the classes are challenging enough for me to learn and succeed in class.

I think Clemson great and unique.It is one of a kind because of its small town is filled with college students which makes nearly impossible to not make friends.

The campus is a bit small, and there's not that much to do in town-- that is the number one complaint I can think of. With active hobbies and friends, you can find ways to spend time (outside of academic work), but the fact remains that outside of your own personal hobbies, there's really not anything to do in town. The students of Clemson definitely have spirit-- they're all happy to be here. This is especially evident in football season, when everyone is outside hanging out. Finding friends isn't hard here.

The best thing about the school is that it is a really fun, relaxed place to learn. There are plenty of clean and quiet places if you need to study, and plenty of loud and friendly places when you want to hang out with friends. If I could change one thing, I would change the hours of the dining hall, because my friends and I always get really hungry right after 9PM when they close, so we have to go downtown to eat. My school is the perfect size. I have never had a problem with large classes, I learn best in lecture-sized classes (though I've only had 1); most of my classes have been high-school sized (15-25 people). People are generally impressed when they hear that I go to Clemson, as well as jealous; they know it is a good school with high emphasis on academics, and they know that it is a school where you can have a lot of fun as well. I spend most of my time at the library or in my dorm: the library when I need a quiet place to do homework, and my dorm when I want to hang out with some really awesome people. Clemson does have it's own town, and the downtown area has plenty of restaurants that can cater (no pun intended!) to any appetite that you may have. The school's administration is generally well-respected by the student body, we even have cookouts at our President's house! YES, we have tons of school pride. 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students here wear orange on a daily basis. On fridays during the fall, every student wears orange to show their pride. The school itself is not usual at all, Clemson is definitely a unique place to attend; from the giant field for sports in the middle of campus to the intense intramural sports to the more interesting class curriculum. Something I will never forget about Clemson was in the fall, when we were allowed to go (safely) to the rooftop of our dorm. There, I could see all of campus and the view was astonishing. From above, you can really see how beautiful the campus is.

I wish the school placed more emphasis on diversity because it does seem to consist mainly of instate students who are not very aware of what lies beyond the bible belt. I hear a lot of complaints from fellow students within my major that there are a lot of the same kind of student; one that is financially well off from mom and dad, one that has no problem taking advantage of his/her parents money when applied to buying alcohol. I like the small town feel that Clemson supports and promotes but I do wish that the downtown area had more than just pizza and sub shops...more night life activities for students under the age of 21.

I love my school. The reason I love my school is because everyone here loves this school. There is so much pride echoing throughout campus. Every single person loves orange and purple (no matter how ugly the two colors may look together) and loves their tigers. Watching the football team run down the hill is a life-changing event. I will always remember my first football game. The size is amazing. It's big enough and small enough. You can't usually walk across campus without seeing someone you know, which is nice. There isn't much of a college town nearby, but the little town of Clemson is nice and shopping isn't far off campus. Being from a suburb outside of Philadelphia, when I tell people I go to Clemson, they are usually shocked that I would choose a school so far away. With technology these days, I can get in touch with my parents very easily, so we keep in touch! One thing that was shocking to me about this school was how religious it is.

The best thing about Clemson is its beautiful campus and the intense school spirit. One thing that I would change is that I would have more on campus parking for residents. Clemson has a big school feel, without being huge. People seem really impressed to hear that I go to Clemson, it is a great place to be, but you have to put in time for school work. When I'm on campus, I'm in class, at the gym, in my dorm, or outside with friends on Bowman. Clemson is the definition of a college town. Administration and all of the professors here are outstanding, and are usually more than willing to help you as much as they can, and if they can't they know someone who can. There is always some controversy at the Quad where most of the frat boys live due to some party habits. Clemson students are "all in" and school pride is at its peak during football season, you haven't seen a football game until you've been to one in Death Valley. The football games are unforgettable, but I also will never forget the people I've met here. Many students complain about the food after a while, just because it's not home cooked doesn't mean its that bad, I feel like that happens everywhere, and parking services seem to get students every time.

Clemson is AWESOME! It is a tight knit college town that bleeds orange. You will rarely meet an unfriendly person, and everyone always has each other's back. The campus is consolidated, easy to navigate and beautiful. My teachers have always been very helpful and my classes are not too big and not too small. Not to mention, the plethora of outdoor activities around the area that are always fun to take advantage of!

Clemson is the perfect size; it's not to big or too small. It's in the middle of the country, so you're isolated from the rest of the world in a little college town but you're still able to mature and learn things about the world. There is always something going on campus so you will never be wanting for something to do. The students are very friendly and helpful. School pride is very evident on campus. Everyone is always wearing orange and Central Spirit is a huge club on campus. My favorite thing about the school is the fact that there are farms that Agriculture majors can visit to gain more experience with animals.

The school spirit is crazy - everyone is all about their school spirit at Clemson. It's pretty large, but not too large. People tend to think highly of Clemson students. The campus is absolutely beautiful. There are tons of places to relax between classes or study spots. The town is very college friendly - the college pretty much is the town. (and downtown is fun too). The administration is very friendly. Clemson football is the best.

The best thing about Clemson is the school spirit and the strong athletics. I wouldn't change anything about it and it's the perfect size. People ask how I heard of Clemson when I tell them I'm going there because I'm from New York. Definitely a strong college town feel. There is a ton of school pride, which can be seen all over campus, especially at games.

Clemson is the most spirited school I've ever been to or seen; I should know spirit when I see it because I went to an overwhlemingly spirited high school. Wearing orange on Fridays unifies all clemson students and alumni everywhere and it shows just how big your family actually is, because that's what Clemson is, a family. Students and faculty alike welcome you in the clemson family with open arms and do there best to make you feel your at a home away from home.

You want to try to be involved as much as you can, or at least make sure you are involved in something you are passionate about. You will find your niche...

The best thing about Clemson are the people! They're crazy. If I could change anything about Clemson, it'd be the food. I'd put in a five-star, around the clock restaurant. The school itself is just right. Not too big (unless you go into the research fields, then clemson seems huge), and definitely not too small. When I tell people I go to Clemson, they kind of just shake their head at me and say, "Well, I go to USC" or "I'm a Gamecocks fan" in which case, I....better not say here. I spend most of my time on campus walking around actually. It's great exercise and the view is nice (when it's not marred by the people walking back and forth). Clemson is definitely a college town. My tour guide said so. Clemson's administration? I hardly ever see them. Or if I do, I don't recognize them. Biggest recent controversy? Probably budget spending and the upping of tuition. There is a lot of school pride indeed. From the die-hard fans, anyway. Don't know about the rest of us... Is there anything unusual about Clemson?! Of course there is! One experience I'll always remember is meeting my college friends for the very first time. Surreal, man. They are still the biggest surprise of my life. It's like: These people actually like me?! What?! Frequent student complaints? Dining halls, mostly. Some professors, and the fact that we can still gain the freshmen fifteen even though half of the time we go hungry for some reason or other...

Clemson is very welcoming. It's definitely a college town. Everyone has school pride.

The most important thing about Clemson by far is the sense of family that everyone has there. I know everyone says that about their schools too, but at Clemson it's a little different. When you meet somebody on the street that went to Clemson it's almost like you know them already. It may seem insignificant from an outside view, but this quality makes for a safe university setting, a close knit college town, a bond between students and faculty members, and a general sense that you really are where you're supposed to be.

The school really is just a great place. everyone thinks well of Clemson and love it like its their second home. Football games are a blast and the town of clemson has plenty of places to hang around on the weekends. Thee is so much school spirit it just consumes you on gameday. You really do bleed orange.

Clemson is the perfect school. The campus is large enough to feel like a college campus, without being overwhelmingly big. All of the students are all very friendly and close knit. When people hear I go to Clemson, they are always amazed and have great things to say about the school. The school pride and spirit at Clemson are AMAZING. Clemson sports are always a big thing, and the students are always very excited to attend these events. On the weekends, Bowman Field is a great place to play frisbee or volleyball, or just hang out with some friends. Clemson is the perfect place to be, any time of the year.

The best thing about the Clemson experience is that we are and see ourselves as one big family and the Orange Nation, It's About Pride in which to show the world that we are a family and welcome all that visit or compete here with open arms and want them to leave with a sense of warmth no matter the outcome. Well as a rising senior, I guess I would change nothing really as I have enjoyed my experience and learned so much in and out of the classroom plus been able to grow as an adult even more here. People tend to react very positively when you mention that you attend Clemson, no matter whether you start here or transfer here, and say you must be pretty smart and know what you want, especially when they ask what you are majoring in. The administration here at Clemson is one of the most caring and talented aspects of the college experience that want to see you succeed to your greatest potential and they treat like you an adult and keep you well informed plus they care so much about this university themselves. The school pride here is crazy and overwhelming sometimes but in a good way from the president along to the knowledgeable incoming freshmen, who get to experience it fisrt hand as soon as they step on campus and definitely after some of the huge events that take place here all year.

Overall, Clemson seems very nice and I've heard great things about it. I don't start my freshman year until August, but I can still provide a little insight into how the school works. They nickel and dime the crap out of the students. I guess all colleges have application fees, addmission fees, housing application fees, orientation fees and basically every other fee they think of to clean out the wallets and bank accounts of prospective students and their parents. I guess that's just business as usual. Right? I Guess the 17 thousand dollars times the thousands of students attending Clemson just isn't enough because these days, colleges and pretty much all schools are controlled by greedy crooks (a.k.a. business majors). These people need to remember that $1000x$1000=$1,000,000 and that is a lot of money. There is no reason for Clemson or any other college to charge all of these absurd fees. Think about it, they charge an application fee! They charge people that want to come and pay their $17000 tuition $50 to ask if they can give the school $17000. That's either very stupid or very clever. I guess that to the people charging the fees, it's clever.
