Clemson University Top Questions

Clemson has an awesome environment! Teacher and student relations are very good! Football games are great too. There are a lot of students but they try to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Clemson has a good academic reputation. College town.

Clemson is the ultimate college town. The athletics at Clemson are the ultimate reason I chose to attend there. Football games are unbelieveable, Clemson is always one of the top teams in their conference and the town is revered as one of the best atmospheres in the nation during football Saturdays. The school has the perfect number of students, 17,000; this is not too many and not too few. The student body has a tremendous amount of pride about their school, athletic teams, and campus. The campus is one of the best in the nation, many students from other schools often comment on the uniqueness of the campus. Rolling hills, blue skies, perfect weather, mountains in the distance, Lake Hartwell a stone's throw away, Bowman field, and the history of Clemson all make this an amazing place. I enjoyed walking on campus every single day, seeing historic landmarks, breathing in fresh air, and socializing with people just like me. The campus, the learning, the students, the athletics; everything was amazing, there is nothing like it.

Clemson is the perfect fit. About 17,000 students is great; large enough to get those big lectures that would be unnecessary to have in a class of 12 (intro to geology and general economics) but small enough to where you get your more difficult classes more individualized in smaller classrooms (advanced accounting, econometrics). Its a great college town with a high affinity for the Clemson Tigers. The whole town participates in campus events. The football games...well i cant even explain the football games on paper, its just that unforgettable thing you have to experience yourself. Clemson's reputation has grown greatly over the past couple of years. Whenever I mention Clemson in a conversation back home in the mid-atlantic the university gets much praise from people for its academics and great sports team. Its the kind of school that you go to and when you leave, you chase down everyone on the highway you see sporting a Clemson Tiger paw; waving and honking your horn annoyingly. The orange is intoxicating.

The entire Clemson area is completely all about Clemson. I visited many schools in my college search and I can safely say that I did not see any other college with close to the amount of school pride, not only on campus but in the surrouding area as well. Easy evidence of this can be seen in athletics. Clemson has a pretty big student body but not too big that you feel lost.

Clemson: Clemson is not a very big city but the vast majority of it's inhabitants are college aged students. Due to this there is a dense population of people in your age group if you attend. Football season is electrifying period. The Death valley experience, the extreme noise and our teams entrance down THE HILL (also know as the most exciting 10 seconds in College football) cannot be beaten. School pride and environmental awareness are also important on campus. Yet, the most inviting aspect of the University is the campus itself. There is a certain level of comfort you gather from just being there and once you become an enrolled student you become a part of the community. You immediately feel at home.

Watch out Disney, Clemson is the new happiest place on earth where dreams do come true. Welcome to a school with a big school picture with over 300 organizations to join, huge sports to cheer for and so much going on but can also manage to have a small campus feel. Make sure you leave for class with an extra 5-10 minutes because chances are you are going to stop to talk to a few friends that you see on the way. Everyone either plays sports or is a huge sports fan. Clemson has a preppy feel but the university does what it can to encourage individuality. The downtown may seem small but there are some awesome places from Todaro's pizza (yum!) and Spill the Beans icecream. The only problem with the university can be parking, but you really don't even need a car. The town of Clemson revolves around the University and are so respectful to the students. Everyone just has so much school pride and love for where they go. Clemson is 5 minutes from the lake and so cloes to the mountains to go hiking and stuff. Lots of your friends will have boats so you go to the river a lot, even just to swim at the Hidden Beach. I could never say enough good things about Clemson, I love it!

Clemson is the perfect size-not too big, not too small. There are about 16000 students undergrad. which makes for the perfect amount. There's enough that you never stop meeting new people but not too many that it's impossible to see the same person twice on campus. I constantly run into people that I know. There is tons of school pride. I love driving around and seeing people with orange stickers on the back of their cars all over South Carolina but anywhere. If I saw someone wearing a Clemson shirt in the airport or Australia I would feel like they are a brother and start talking to them. There is a sense of family just because one goes there. And football games display peoples' pride as alumni of all ages return to tailgate and watch the games. I love how nice everyone is on campus. Teachers, administration, students. People are truly friendly. And the guy are true southern gentlemen. Something I don't like is that the college town has too many sandwich shops and gross bars instead of cool places to hang out, like restaurants and cuter places. But overall, love it!!!!!!!!!

clemson is not necessarily a friendly campus. many of the students i have met won't give you the time of day if you aren't drop dead gorgeous or involved in sports. those are the people that make clemson not a fun place, but there are others that are completely nice and always willing to chat.

The best thing about Clemson is the community. Everyone has this one common bond, and we really do bleed orange. Every person is sold on our university and will brag and boast about it to anyone who will listen. This is in every aspect: academics, athletics, community service. There is not a single thing I would change about my school, and if I had to do it all over again, I would still go to Clemson. Clemson is definitely the perfect sized university- we are able to compete on the Division 1A level, and yet we are not too large- it takes 20 minutes to walk from one side of campus to the other. Clemson as a whole is the experience that I will always remember, particularly the football games!

Clemson is your ideal "small" big school. Now what I mean by this is that even though there are almost 20,000 undergraduate students who you will probably not know, the feeling of home is very strong. One of my favorite parts of Clemson is the school pride. Everyone at this school loves this school. Even when I talk to someone who goes to Clemson 10 states away there is like an instant connection and friendship, its crazy. If your looking for a good school in South Carolina in particular than Clemson is your top choice. The numbers state this fact all across the board and im sure anyone you talk to will tell you the same thing.
