I have learned so much being at Clemson University and from just one semester. From the great textbooks the professors choose to the professors themselves that are so eager to help you learn. However, like every college or university, there are going to be some professors that are better than others, but overall, at Clemson, the professors are really great. Clemson also offers academic help in so many ways. They have the Academic Success Center in the library which is fully dedicated to helping you succeed academically and offers tutors in almost every subject. Then they have the SIs (Student Instructors) that sit in your class to know exactly what is going on and offer sessions during the week to provide help on the material (tutoring). So pretty much there is no excuse for not getting help if you are having trouble academically and you attend Clemson. I have learned so much so far and cannot wait to learn more!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being a student as Clemson has been a blast so far! There is always so much going on around campus and there is never a time where their is nothing to do. As far as sports, numerous times during the week there is a sporting event going on such as football, basketball, or even tennis and soccer. If you don't like sports, there are many other things to do. On Friday and Saturday nights, they usually have free movies playing in the Hendrix Theater with free popcorn! There's also the downtown strip which has a variety of good restaurants and many exciting stores. And best thing on it all, everything is no more than 15 minutes walking distance around campus. Of course, if you don't want to walk, you could catch a ride on the CAT (Clemson Area Transit) bus to get you around campus! Clemson also does a good job of advertising all the events to the students by sending weekly emails of everything that is going on around campus for the week.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Clemson University may be a little more pricey compared to other college and universities in the state, but for the bang for the buck, you are getting a lot. Clemson degrees are very prestigious to have and are very valuable. Clemson is one of the most prestigious schools in South Carolina so paying a little more for that is a really good investment to make.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply Early! The earlier you apply, the better chance you will have of getting accepted, especially if you do not have an exceptionally high GPA and SAT score. Also, housing priority is determined by your application date to the university, not your application to housing date. So the earlier you apply, the better chance you will have of getting into the dorm you want. In my opinion, Clemson House is the best, as far as room size and living conditions. And they have a dining hall on the first floor!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for students with any type of science major and for students who do not want to go to school in the middle of a big city. In Clemson, a five minutes drive from campus will take you into corn fields and cow pastures! A great country living scene
