Reasons to attend and to not attend Clemson University

To Attend

“The football team is so much fun.”
“There’s a lot of school spirit. As cheesy as this sounds, if you go to Clemson and see someone in public wearing a Clemson sweatshirt, you’ll go up and say hi and tell them you went to Clemson and instantly have a bond.”
“There’s a lot to get involved in at Clemson. If you want to do Greek life, clubs, or student government it’s easy to get involved with and there are a lot of options.”
“The culture here. There is a caring culture where we look out for each other.”

To Not Attend

“If you’re not into football, it’s going to be put in your face either way. For me, that’s a negative, but for a lot of other people that’s a big plus.”
“It’s a small town, so if you want to be near a big city Clemson’s not a great place for you.”
“Parking is terrible. You’re paying $178 a year for a pass and you don’t even know if you will find a space on campus.”
“If you want all your classes to be small. Some of the classes will get to over 100 people and you don’t know the professor. As you get to higher-level classes, you get smaller classes. All freshman year you’re going to be in a general education situation where you don’t know the professor because the classes are too big.”
