Clemson University Top Questions

Since, this is the South and Caucasians is the majority of the students, so you will find some people who are prejudice and racist, but I just stay away from them and only hang out with the cool people. Mechanical Engineers earn around 50k to 60k right after graduating.

Clemson is very diverse, and there are some groups that are more segregated than others. The beauty of that is that anyone can wear anything and still fit in.

In general, Clemson has a conservative student body. There are also a lot of preppy kids.

The clemson student is a fun loving one. Most are social and enjoy hanging out but know when to get down to it and work hard. They mix te right amount of work and play into thier lives.

Race and Such: Its like an 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} white campus or something crazy like that. Its also in the rural south. I came from a 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} white high school, there was a good balance of minorities and I was in an urban area. I saw and heard a lot of things that offended me but I also saw a lot of love of people and acceptance, it just depends on the people you choose to hang around with. I will say this, lost of confederate flags around. They see it as a pride thing, I see it as a symbol of racism, so whatever floats your boat I guess. Out of place: Goth, I can honestly say I've seen 2 goths on campus and they both stuck out like a sore thumb. Also, anyone extremely cosmopolitian like Sex in the City or the male equivalent. Wear to class: Anything, sweats, jeans, skirts, makeup/no makeup, sports jersies, band shirts whatever. Name brands usually on greeks like polo, vinyard vines, vera bradley, but otherwise normal american clothing nothing special. Four tables of students: Freshmen, Freshmen, Freshmen, Athletes that live on campus From: Uh, South Carolina, its a public school....I'm from NJ and there were a LOT of people from new jersey there. Other than that, Ohio, Maryland, NC, GA, FL, TN and MA. Politically Aware: We had Edwards, Obama, McCain and Ron Paul all come speak on hour campus. Even Ron Paul had a decient crowd. Its SC so when its an election year, people come to Clemson. SC in a big state in party primaries. Edwards is even from the neighboring town (born and raised not now). Good mix of political views, even though you are in rural south. One would think all right, but no the college campus factor balances it out. Also not as left as most college campuses, a really good mix.

Clemson is definitely located in the Bible Belt, and religious organizations, particularly Christian ones, are prevalent on campus. Although I am less aware of other religious groups, I know there is a fairly large Hindu group on campus as well. Unfortunately, I am less familiar with the other religious groups on campus. I would say the average Clemson student comes from a middle class family, but there is definitely a variety of financial background and there are plenty of students from lower and upper middle class families and lower and upper class families. I am white, and the majority of Clemson students are, but I do not think race is a huge issue on campus. At Clemson they really push the idea of the "Clemson Family". When I first heard about it at orientation, I thought it was some crap they were feeding us to sound appealing, but after I got here I discovered it was true. Everyone is kind to everyone else for the most part, and there is a definite bond between students and alumni that comes from being a part of the "Clemson Family". Most students are always willing to lend a helping hand. Additionally, it is great the sorts of people you meet at sporting events and other huge Clemson events where everyone around you is just as excited and pumped to be there as you are.

Clemson is much more liberal than my undergrad of Texas A&M. There was a gay pride parade one day. Most students were from upper-middle class families. students wear whatever they want to class. it is a very open environment to express yourself. I was in the Digital Production Arts program to get my MFA. The students I met that hadn't graduated yet were all very friendly and helpful. They are now my best friends.

It seems like everyone is white, middle-class, conservative, and Southern sometimes but if you seek out diversity you can definitely find it.

For the most part the student body is caucasian and upwardly mobile. Still there are others that are not as well-off but they are most definitely not looked down on. They have just as much talent as any other student, clearly since they were admitted to begin with. Most students come from the southern part of the country, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, but we do have many students from states on the northeastern coast. The students are for the most part aware of current events happening in the nation and many views tend to lean towards the conservative end.

very united with spirit. Clemson is open to lots of different ppl
