Clemson offers an amazing college experience. Students return for the rest of their lives to see how the campus has changed and to support the Tigers. Although it is located in a small town, the school is big enough that there is never a dull moment, and the location only makes the student body closer to one another. As anyone who has been to Clemson knows, the students' blood here is orange, and the Clemson spirit is contagious for almost anyone who attends. But why?

'I love Clemson. When I'm away, I just want to be back; all my friends agree.
College is a world of its own. If you want it all?good academics, great people, Greek life, sports, school spirit, seriously consider Clemson. I never had 'that' school where I wanted to go. I simply had an idealized vision of having a classic college experience. Clemson is pretty close.'
'I've had really good experiences with my teachers. There are a couple professors that I go out with for lunch or for coffee.
There are a lot of professors whom I consider to be friends of mine first and professors second.'
No school is completely perfect, however. Turn to College Prowler for Clemson's pros AND cons.
'Clemson is definitely a 'college town.'
Without the school, there is not much to it. Downtown consists mainly of one street. Outside of Clemson there is not much to do; I can't name any outrageously cool museums, clubs, or restaurants to go to.'
'You should know before coming that Clemson, because of its location in the Bible Belt of the South, is still under the 'blue laws', which means that
there is no selling of alcohol on Sundays. This also means the bars close at midnight on Saturday nights.'
Get both sides of the story, straight from the students' mouths.
Visiting campus isn't enough.

While writing our series of college guides, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. By hiring current students as authors, we strive to create college guides that truly represent each campus. Our guides cover both the good and the bad, and whether survey responses point to recurring trends or varying opinions, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides.
From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each school receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion. Once a guide is written, additional college students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. This same process is applied to all of the 258 colleges and universities College Prowler currently covers. Each guide is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation. It’s no easy accomplishment, but it’s the reason that our guides are such a great resource.
