College Prowler Take
The best dorms for freshmen are the high-rises or the Honors dorm, Holmes. If you must settle for less, the Shoeboxes are not a bad way to go. Students recommend avoiding Johnstone, but those who have lived there say it was a “bonding experience” due to the living conditions they all had to face. The dorms at Clemson range from outdated to top of the line. A lot of construction has taken place in recent years to improve student living conditions, and if you can’t find a dorm that feels like home after your first year, there are many off-campus housing options for you to choose from. If nothing else, the dorm experience will allow you to meet people with whom you will always share a common bond—be it good or bad. Students Speak Out

The highrises are where most freshmen live, so they are great place to live. Johnstone is really old and can be kind of dirty, but it is definitely the "party dorm." Lots of out-of-state students live there, and it's the dorm where the residents become the closest. The shoeboxes are quiet and kinda off by themselves. Holmes and McCabe are quiet as well. Lots of honor students live there, so if you are looking for a place you can study, this is the best dorm for you.

I lived in Johnstone, the worst dorm on campus. Everybody knows it, and everybody makes fun of it. The walls are all metal, for starters. However, the experience is awesome. Right away, you bond over the terrible building and start friendships. You’re in college; you don’t need a room worthy of the Four Seasons. You need a place to socialize, meet tons of people, and have a great time. Any dorm will do that for you, as long as you leave your door open to visitors. |

If I had it to do again, I would pick the new West Campus [Clemson House rooms] housing. It’s the newest, most amazing dorm—it’s like a hotel inside! |

Dorms in descending order from good to bad: Stadium Suites, Holmes, McCabe, Shoeboxes, Johnstone, high-rises, Frat Quad. Apartments: Lightsey II is wonderful, Lightsey I is pretty nice, and Calhoun Courts, although not in as pristine of condition, is still a neat place to live. |
