JEANNI

My school is best known for it's engineering programs and it's fondness of the notion to defy the conventional idea. Clarkson is also recognized for hockey. We have one of the best hockey teams in the North. It's a wonderful site to observe fans--members of the student body and their relatives--cheering and embracing what appears to be a well-grounded tradition rooted in the celebration of athletism.

Joseph

Clarkson University is best known for career placement after graduation. Employers have been predominantly impressed with the men and women that the college turns out. They have found that Clarkson students possess the ability to lead by example and to hold a high set of standards in the work place. Unlike some other colleges, Clarkson graduates do not leave with a sense of entitlement. This is appealing to employers. Though students at Clarkson are goal-oriented, they know that it takes a lot of hard work to accelerate in any organization. Simply put, employers like leaders, not "know it alls."

Clarkson is best known for their D1 men's hockey and the quality of the engineers and business students that they turn out every year. The motto "defy convention" is really taken to heart here with out of the box thinking and Clarkson's commitment to the students' education.

Emma

My school is best known for engineering and business, but a lot of people I know end up transferring because unless your an uber genious the workload is so hard. I graduated in the top 5 at my high school and the school work just ends up making me feel inadequete and stupid because, although I try really hard, I end up doing bad anyway.
