Date: Dec 29 2007
Major: Architecture (This Major's Salary over time)
Summary:

Positives= Clemson is a beautiful campus, well landscaped and planned. Students take a lot of pride in the school while enrolled and as alumni. Student involvement is high and there are many opportunities to participate: intramural sports, student government, volunteer societies, religious groups, newspaper, and the list goes on. There is really NO excuse for going to class and then staying in a dorm room - I couldn't tell you a single person who has not been involved in something. Clemson provides a billion niches.

Other strengths: Division 1 sports, study abroad, leisure skills, emphasis on being well rounded, community spirit

My experience academically has been great - the honors program let me sign up for classes with the seniors so I always got to pick my professors according to ratemyprofessor.com. The only bad professor I've taken was in Physics and he got fired. Overall, my classes have taught me a lot, and most importantly, inspired me to keep learning in those areas.

Architecture at Clemson is more about design than practice. A lot of my friends want to go into other design fields than architecture anyway so that's good for them. I do want to be accredited so I will have to go onto a 2-3 year grad school. The 5 year program other schools offer is good if you are 100% sure architecture is what you want to do but the 4+2 program is good for flexibility. I like that I'll be able to do graduate work in a city.

I know I checked this site out before applying to Clemson for architecture and was worried because they don't have a national reputation for it: after studying there 2 years and spending the last semester abroad in Barcelona with their program there - I have to say that they deserve a great reputation. This is a public university: there are opportunities and professors there to be great - but you don't have to take them.

Negative:

Clemson provides diversity though it could be said that it exists without integration. Your experience here really depends on your major and extracurriculars. The administration does a lot for minorities and international students - that said, Clemson is still 82% white. The bulk of that demographic follows an image of rainbows/sperrys and polos. At a shallow glance then, Clemson students may seem (visually) cookie cutter. Another (subjective) weakness: the town of Clemson pretty much is the University; it's small and controlled by sporting events. It's rural.

On the other hand, you're two hours away from Atlanta and Charlotte and in the middle of a bunch of outdoors activities (water sports, hiking, etc).

comment82% white isn't bad considering that 99% of the minorities go here for almost nothing (and the whites who do pay tuition are paying for it).
This school is under so much pressure to recruit minorities that they get utter crap when it comes to the minorities educational ability (trust me I see it every semester).
Also, you have to realize that there are more whites in the US than minorities…so if you are asking for 50/50 you need to do some more studying in that honors college of yours.
For many people this is the best solution here see how to do it.Orlando Wildlife Removal
