Clemson University

Gorgeous campus but be prepared to walk a lot of hills! Visitor parking is scarce and metered which seems uncalled for. Make sure you get a picture with all the tigers and go see Littlejohn as well as Howard’s Rock! The lawn with tiger paw is a great photo op!

Gorgeous campus, friendly people. We are here for a campus tour and will hopefully return with a freshman in tow next year! The football stadium is amazing. The dorms and buildings are all well maintained.

You don’t have to like Clemson football but the campus is gorgeous. It’s amazing what a historic, large, gorgeous University can do for a small sleepy town. Top notch university, great sports history and tradition, many excellent stores and restaurants near-​by. Everyone should check it out. Baseball is currently in season and the Tigers are doing well. You should definitely get down there for a game.

One of the Best game day atmospheres in all of College Football. The Tiger Walk, Howards Rock, Tiger Rag and «Running down the Hill» makes for a game day environment that is impressive to any college football fan. When I attended the Tigers were ranked #3 in the country and expectations were high. As we were walking in from the parking lots in the colors of an opposing team we were greeted several time with «Welcome to Clemson,» or «Glad You are Here.» We found the Clemson fans Passionate and devoted but for the most part, polite and respectful. In the stadium, the 86,000+ fans were loud and definitely know how to give their Team a big home field advantage. My visit to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium was a Bucket List trip for me and I am glad I was able to scratch it off of my list. Hats off to Clemson and the Tiger Nation.

Even many years after graduating, I am drawn to this place and cherish the time I get to spend here. A beautiful campus and a great place to get an education.

There is not much better than a Saturday tailgating and watching a great game of football in Death Valley. My family has been coming to games since 1977. Love, love, love Clemson University! Go Tigers!!!

A magical place.
Met my beautiful sexy wife here.
Got a Food Science degree here.
Made some best friends here.
Got completely drunk here.
GO TIGERS!

Can’t give Clemson a 5, because I never went there. I will give it a solid 4 though, because most of my family went/​go there. My grandfather played football for them in the late 50’s, even played for the National Championship against LSU. We usually go to 1 or 2 games a year, and we have a lot of fun. It’s one of those things that’s just part of your life and you take seriously. It’s funny though, I went to a different school w/​a football team, but I consider myself more of a Clemson fan, than my actual college. I guess having it hammered into your head from day one, is a reason. The campus is beautiful and not too far from the mountains, which is always nice to drive through. My blood runneth orange!

I cannot review as a student, of course, but I’ve been on campus a few times. The campus is delightful. Very spread out, lots of green. I come from New England where we’ve got gorgeous campuses abound so, you know, the competition in my head is stiff. Still, it’s lovely and if you’re campus driven when choosing a school, I’d recommend giving Clemson a look-​see.

The most magical place on earth

Three stars for the basketball program. When I was a kid all my friends either pulled for Carolina or Duke. So I decided to like the underdogs = Clemson. We’ve been through some tough times together. We did finally win the ACC a few years ago but never did anything worth remembering in the NCAA. This past year we lost to Michigan St in the first round. MICHIGAN ST!!! O well, we’re not nor will we ever be able to compete with the Devils or Tarheels but we have pretty orange uniforms. Go Tigers!!!

I was here in the mid-90’s. Clemson was the best 5 years and three months of my life! I guess my time at Clemson defined who I am now more than anything. I like to think this is because of what Clemson is. But perhaps it is just the experience of being on your own at the right time of your life. But hey, I like to think it was because Clemson is such a special place.
Enrollment — I picked Clemson because it was a larger school with strong engineering programs, yet still felt like a smaller school. The administration has done a great job in keeping enrollment down, so this place doesn’t turn into a mega school with 30 or 40 thousand students.
Class Sizes — It is rare to find auditorium classes (although they do exist here to a limited degree). In my major (Computer Science), class sizes were usually 15 – 20 students.
Stuff to do — Yeah this is a small town. Although the place has grown a lot since I was there. I’ll admit that many a weekend we got bored and drove to Greenville just to get away. But there are so many ways to immerse yourself into campus life. After my first year I considered Clemson my home and rarely actually returned to my hometown.
Athletics — Simply amazing. Football games are full of energy and make you feel alive. During my years at Clemson, the football team sucked hard. FSU routinely scored 50 points against us. Yet the football games were exhilarating. Also don’t forget the baseball team. Beautiful Tiger Field in the early Spring is magnificent.
Academics — President Barker has made it his focus to get Clemson into the top-​tier of college and universities. I think the general consensus is that he is succeeding. Come here for engineering of course, or an AG degree. You’ll also find some world-​class professors at Clemson. Most profs are laid back. You’ll see classes meeting outside on a nice day. I’ve even had beers with professors downtown.
Administration — Barker is well liked these days. The rest of the administration and staff can get burdensome at times. Some of the office help, secretaries and whatnot, don’t seem to have the best interests of the students at mind. That was always frustrating to me. They also need to work harder to keep tuition hikes in check. But this seems to be a trend with all schools these days.
All in all, I don’t regret my decision to go to Clemson. Terrific school, beautiful campus and a great education. Stay an extra year like I did. Your parents will be pissed, but it is worth it!
