Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Claflin University sets itself apart by being a small, family-oriented campus—and you will notice this from the moment you first arrive here. Everyone, from the administrators to the maintenance staff, is always warm, welcoming, friendly, and ready to assist the students. It is very hard to make enemies at this school because everyone respects everyone else and where they came from. The students and faculty come from different backgrounds, yet that does not lead to segregation.

The people here possess genuine Southern hospitality, a trait that never gets old around campus, and everyone takes pride in the rich history they have become a part of at Claflin. Everyone is always focused on their academic success and achieving the desired “Claflin Confidence.” The school constantly makes a personal effort to help students achieve all their goals by helping in whatever way they can. When you graduate from Claflin, you will not only leave with your diploma, but you will also leave with a wealth of great friendships and family bonds that you have made with others at the University. It truly is a rewarding experience.

Greeks Run DA Yard

as a member of a fraternity i have seen both sides of the fence and i can say it does affect the social atmosphere of the campus, most times people have nothing to do until they hear the greeks chanting outside their windows or having a forum or a mixer somewhere on "DA yard"

Claflin Dorms Are a Disaster

the dormitories at claflin university are somewhat clean and presentable from the outside but on the inside it has been a popular statistic that the dormitories are no where worth the amount claflin students pay for them.
