At Clemson University, there is a huge lack of diversity, awareness of minority groups, and excessive billing. Furthermore, the funding of the school does not entirely go towards the betterment of the school. There are also unnecessary fees for labs, for example a 30 minute lab of language writing which was billed as 150 dollars. Clemson University would be great if they also included more parking spaces.

Traveling to school from the northeast isn't always easy. Airline options are limited.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the distance of where everything is by walking distance. Everything is far away, such as classes, dorms, restaurants, etc, but your able to get to them in about less than 10 to 15 minutes. It seems longer during the summer, because of the heat.

The most frustrating thing is how easy my school makes it for you to become adjusted that you have no excuses but to succeed. They take the time and break everything down for new students , and if you have a question or problem, the solutions will practically come and find you.

I most say the most fustrating thing about clemson is financial aid, for the most part it is insensitive and far from helpful.
Nicole
The most frustrating thing about my school is trying to pay for it. There is so much to pay for and I'm constantly having to pay for a variety of things.
Erin
The most frustrating thing about my school is that there are so many gosh darn hills! It is like everywhere I go I'm having to hike up a hill to get to class. Then by the time I get to class my calves are burning, I am all sweaty, & I am out of breath. I'm not sure if there is a solution to that problem though.

There's no performing arts major, which has caused a lot of my friends to not consider this school.

The most frustrating thing may be the eerie sense of detachment on weekends when there's no home game to rev up for, and a good half of the student body has driven off to spend the weekend in their hometown. As an-out-of-stater from the big city, the prospects of trying to make the off-days count on a desolate rural campus with a "downtown" that stretches for all of two-and-a-half blocks can be quite disconcerting - especially when you don't own a car! But at least there's a bus service.

The must fustrating thing about my school is the lack of diversity. There is some diversity but it does not mix that often.

The thing that I like least about Clemson is first is you need a car to get to Wal-Mart and the general engineering class. The first general engineering class was worthless; I can convert units and plug variables into equation. My professor was also worthless as it seemed he did not know any more than we did.
Amanda
The most frustrating thing about Clemson University is the "textbook" binders that are made on campus and can not be resold and are not reused for the semesters after. These books can cost up to $200 each and only used for one semester, some are required to buy and almost never used, then you are unable to return them. Also the lack of any school granted out of state student scholarships is frustrating because of the very high out-of-state tuiton.

Because I am a transfer student who started in the middle of the year, I found it difficult to find friends. Everyone already had their social circles and friendships made when I started at Clemson in January. While this has been frustrating, people are friendly. It just takes a while for the Clemson students to consider you one of their own instead of an outsider.
Jordan
The most frustrating thing about Clemson University is the narrow minded focus on sporting events. As mentioned earlier, the school is known for its athletics. So, tailgaiting is a weekly event. The crowds of intoxicated spectators is overwhelming, as they block the streets with their monstrous sports utility vehicles, which comfortably accomodate a big screen television, as well as, coolers overflowing with Busch Light. However, the wreckage is most visible the day after, when waste receptacles are bursting with aluminum cans (while recycling bins are half empty) and the foul stench of fermented grain lingers in the air.
Erin
The people that are here just to get a degree.
Lauren
The financial aid office is not very helpful.
Tanya
I love Clemson!! The only thing that truly frustrates me about the school is that it is very expensive to attend the university. Enrollment at Clemson puts much financial strain on my family for me to attend the school of my dreams. If I only had more scholarship money to go to school, I would have no complaints about it.
Amy
The most frustrating thing about Clemson is trying to deal with scheduling conflicts, such as classes you need that are full. Also, the flawed system Clemson uses for admitting students into the Nursing program is frustrating. Rather than entering as Nursing majors, students interested in Nursing should only be admitted to the program after application in their sophomore year.

I do not think there is enough artistic diversity at Clemson. I attended a magnet high school for the arts in North Charleston, South Carolina called School of the Arts that encouraged a deep appreciation for the arts. Even while I am enrolled in the graphic communications program, my professors frown on their students enrolling in any classes in the art department which I feel takes away from our education and future understanding of the graphic industry.
