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.
