Clemson University Top Questions

The best thing about Clemson is the school spirit and the strong athletics. I wouldn't change anything about it and it's the perfect size. People ask how I heard of Clemson when I tell them I'm going there because I'm from New York. Definitely a strong college town feel. There is a ton of school pride, which can be seen all over campus, especially at games.

Clemson is the most spirited school I've ever been to or seen; I should know spirit when I see it because I went to an overwhlemingly spirited high school. Wearing orange on Fridays unifies all clemson students and alumni everywhere and it shows just how big your family actually is, because that's what Clemson is, a family. Students and faculty alike welcome you in the clemson family with open arms and do there best to make you feel your at a home away from home.

You want to try to be involved as much as you can, or at least make sure you are involved in something you are passionate about. You will find your niche...

The best thing about Clemson are the people! They're crazy. If I could change anything about Clemson, it'd be the food. I'd put in a five-star, around the clock restaurant. The school itself is just right. Not too big (unless you go into the research fields, then clemson seems huge), and definitely not too small. When I tell people I go to Clemson, they kind of just shake their head at me and say, "Well, I go to USC" or "I'm a Gamecocks fan" in which case, I....better not say here. I spend most of my time on campus walking around actually. It's great exercise and the view is nice (when it's not marred by the people walking back and forth). Clemson is definitely a college town. My tour guide said so. Clemson's administration? I hardly ever see them. Or if I do, I don't recognize them. Biggest recent controversy? Probably budget spending and the upping of tuition. There is a lot of school pride indeed. From the die-hard fans, anyway. Don't know about the rest of us... Is there anything unusual about Clemson?! Of course there is! One experience I'll always remember is meeting my college friends for the very first time. Surreal, man. They are still the biggest surprise of my life. It's like: These people actually like me?! What?! Frequent student complaints? Dining halls, mostly. Some professors, and the fact that we can still gain the freshmen fifteen even though half of the time we go hungry for some reason or other...

Clemson is very welcoming. It's definitely a college town. Everyone has school pride.

The most important thing about Clemson by far is the sense of family that everyone has there. I know everyone says that about their schools too, but at Clemson it's a little different. When you meet somebody on the street that went to Clemson it's almost like you know them already. It may seem insignificant from an outside view, but this quality makes for a safe university setting, a close knit college town, a bond between students and faculty members, and a general sense that you really are where you're supposed to be.

The school really is just a great place. everyone thinks well of Clemson and love it like its their second home. Football games are a blast and the town of clemson has plenty of places to hang around on the weekends. Thee is so much school spirit it just consumes you on gameday. You really do bleed orange.

Clemson is the perfect school. The campus is large enough to feel like a college campus, without being overwhelmingly big. All of the students are all very friendly and close knit. When people hear I go to Clemson, they are always amazed and have great things to say about the school. The school pride and spirit at Clemson are AMAZING. Clemson sports are always a big thing, and the students are always very excited to attend these events. On the weekends, Bowman Field is a great place to play frisbee or volleyball, or just hang out with some friends. Clemson is the perfect place to be, any time of the year.

The best thing about the Clemson experience is that we are and see ourselves as one big family and the Orange Nation, It's About Pride in which to show the world that we are a family and welcome all that visit or compete here with open arms and want them to leave with a sense of warmth no matter the outcome. Well as a rising senior, I guess I would change nothing really as I have enjoyed my experience and learned so much in and out of the classroom plus been able to grow as an adult even more here. People tend to react very positively when you mention that you attend Clemson, no matter whether you start here or transfer here, and say you must be pretty smart and know what you want, especially when they ask what you are majoring in. The administration here at Clemson is one of the most caring and talented aspects of the college experience that want to see you succeed to your greatest potential and they treat like you an adult and keep you well informed plus they care so much about this university themselves. The school pride here is crazy and overwhelming sometimes but in a good way from the president along to the knowledgeable incoming freshmen, who get to experience it fisrt hand as soon as they step on campus and definitely after some of the huge events that take place here all year.

Overall, Clemson seems very nice and I've heard great things about it. I don't start my freshman year until August, but I can still provide a little insight into how the school works. They nickel and dime the crap out of the students. I guess all colleges have application fees, addmission fees, housing application fees, orientation fees and basically every other fee they think of to clean out the wallets and bank accounts of prospective students and their parents. I guess that's just business as usual. Right? I Guess the 17 thousand dollars times the thousands of students attending Clemson just isn't enough because these days, colleges and pretty much all schools are controlled by greedy crooks (a.k.a. business majors). These people need to remember that $1000x$1000=$1,000,000 and that is a lot of money. There is no reason for Clemson or any other college to charge all of these absurd fees. Think about it, they charge an application fee! They charge people that want to come and pay their $17000 tuition $50 to ask if they can give the school $17000. That's either very stupid or very clever. I guess that to the people charging the fees, it's clever.
