Clarkson University Top Questions

Clarkson is great if you want to be able to work one-on-one with your professors. Regardless of which program you're in, there are always professors willing to work with you or help you. Also, even though Clarkson is considered an engineering school, it's business programs are more highly ranked and our grads make more than Havard grads, which is something to brag about.

Clarkson is unique among the other schools I considered because of the small school environment it has to offer. The other schools I considered were significantly larger in student enrollment numbers and in campus size. I liked Clarkson because it had a smaller student population which allows for a more individualized approach to the college experience. In addition to the small size there is an atmosphere of family between the students, faculty and alumni of the university which serves as a great way to network within a business community.

Clarkson has a strong reputation when it comes to interviewing for jobs and internships compared to other engineering schools in the Northeast. It is a small school and there is not a strong divide between senior students and freshman, or even between undergraduate and graduate students. There are trails on campus that are open to everyone and are well maintained for hikes, skiing, running, or biking. You will also feel and be safe on campus at night, even exploring trails or downtown.

a lot of people smoke weed, and plenty trip. but the work is hard and you have to study a lot if you don't want to fail out.

Being a small school, Clarkson offers students direct exposure to fields of study outside of ones primary concentration. The opportunity to interact with those students and hear their ideas is invaluable.

Clarkson is tough, but it is a lot of fun at the same time. I wouldn't trade my time at Clarkson for anything. Clarkson students also have great job placement success, which is ultimately what this is all about.

Definitely check out the Clarkson rap to get a feel of the Clarkson culture and what the school is all about. I have enjoyed my experience at Clarkson so far and can't wait for the next 2 years! I had a couple of friends transfer out after their freshman year but they transferred back at the end of the semester. They didn't realize how much they loved the school until they left. Some people love it, some people hate it - I guess you will just have to see if it is for you!

If you want a good school, with challenging work, and a job that your friends who went to IVY will be jealous of, go to CU.

Some of my best friends have been on the verge of transferring but then say to themself they will miss a few things, so they stay. 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} are accepted, 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} finish. This place is what you make it, and you better like what you want to study. I chose Clarkson because I wanted a challenge and socially, academically, and yea, physically (cold), I got one. I though, have been able to make something awesome out of it.

Clarkson University has set up an environment that allows students to apply what they have learned in the classroom through "Speed Team" competitions. There are a variety of clubs and organizations on campus to apply the academic knowledge learned to different social settings. For the Clarkson business students, there is the CEO club and the Business Venture program. In the engineering field there are many teams that compete with other schools in design and performance. Some of these teams include Steel Bridge, Timber Bridge, Concrete Canoe, Baja All-Terrain Vehicle, PCI Beam, and among others.
