Okay, so I'm literally just writing this review to warn/help/advise others on what to do if you're thinking about coming here. Background about me: in-state, engineering major, seriously still can't decide how I feel about this place and I'm not sure if I ever will. There are some truly great things about Clemson in my opinion. The campus is well-laid out, the school runs well, systematically run campus. For some people, this school has everything you will ever want in a university. However, this school may 'shrink your world' in the process. I believe that a university setting should expand your world. Unfortunately, that's not the case with Clemson (the majority of the time.)

Clemson may not be a good fit for you if you…

  • love sports—love watching them, playing them, whatever
  • love the idea of Greek Life - Greek life here is huge - I personally don't know too much about how it works on the inside, but from the outside - everyone that's in it seems to think the world of it. In fact, it seems to be their world.
  • are very focused on maintaining your faith. This definitely isn't a negative aspect. Religion helps people remain grounded. Again, the majority of these are religious organizations are Christian. So, if this is something truly important to you, you'll find friends.
  • Clemson may not be a good fit for you if you…

  • are used to a more cultured atmosphere - if you've spent your life interacting with people who are extremely knowledgeable about affairs in the modern world, you might be surprised by the lack of open-minded thinking here. Many people are going to hold the same, conservative opinions. I'm not saying everyone's like that..I've met plenty of people that are extremely knowledgable, cultured, etc, but it's not as common. This is coming from someone who considers themselves to be conservative.
  • aren't so enthusiastic about the outdoors. Clemson is hardly a town - it's not even really a village. Literally, downtown is one street. AGAIN, plenty of people love going downtown, drinking, but there's no active 'night scene.' People go to frat parties and such, but if you're looking for entertainment elsewhere, the closest is Greenville, which is quite popular.
  • are looking for a college with a lot of diversity. Whether it's good or bad or really doesn't matter, Clemson is not diverse. It's one of the least diverse campuses in the nation. This really isn't a big issue to most people. I suppose the only people that would really notice are the people that aren't white…but whatever. That's a fact you should take into account.
  • Clemson has great weather, great sports, and some fantastic students. It all depends on what you're looking for. I tried to make this review as helpful as I can. I don't want to bash Clemson. It really has some positives, but there are negatives. If you really want to come here, make sure you understand what it's like.

    If you're out-of-state, I'm not sure why you would come here if you weren't planning on rushing, playing a sport, or didn't have some national scholarship. I'm sure the schools in your state are great.

    If you're in-state, you're still getting a good education for a reasonable price comparatively. Just know what kind of your atmosphere you're looking for in a college.
