Clarkson University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Clarkson University? Why?

Gerlinde

The Worst thing about my school is its location, there isnt very much to do in potsdam. Also there is a lack of diversity among the students. Most of them stay in thier rooms and are not very outgoing.

Kenny

Lack of off campus activities.

Peter

I think the worst thing would have to be the rural isolation from larger metropolitan areas, but this isloaltion is also one of Clarkson's defining charecteristics. The isolation creates a close community like Clarkson's, but it also sucks for when you want to go to a concert, mall, or want specific food like sushi, thai etc.

Definitely the weather. We are located in Northern New York, and it gets cold here and stays that way. Since there aren't too many distractions, like a huge city or constant parties, people tend to get lonely and a little depressed. ALSO the food - oh my gosh - they are finally revamping their food system, but there is limited places to eat on campus and the food that they have here is far from par. With such a low social profile, the school could definitely invest in better food and more activities, like concerts.
