Greek Life at Clarkson University

They Mostly Did the Party Thing

Greek life was pretty much party central. There was really nothing more after that. Don't get me wrong, some were about doing better for the community.

Academics

The professors are great and the only complaint is that some of them are foreign and hard to understand. They are amazing for being able to teach this difficult material in each curriculum especially engineering. The registration process was relatively smooth but there could have been more instruction for the students who have never applied to college before. The workload seems heavy but I suppose it's necessary in order to make Clarkson University stand out with respect to academics.

The application for Clarkson University for chemical engineering was similar to all of the other applications I submitted to other colleges. There were no abnormalities in the process and the application seemed to focus on academics. Volunteer work and extracurricular activities were also a part of the process. I would say that Clarkson was looking for well-rounded students who were strong in academics and able to conquer Clarkson's harsh curriculum.
