Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students find that, when looking around campus, they all look pretty much the same. They also note that foreign students and students of similar ethnicity tend to form their own groups. Although Clemson has students from many different countries, they make up a small proportion of the predominantly white student body population.

Don’t expect to see much diversity when you come to Clemson. Keep in mind that the school is located in rural northwestern South Carolina—not exactly a melting pot for diversity. If diversity is an important factor in selecting your school, you might want to look elsewhere.

Predominantly White With a Diverse Presence on Campus

Clemson is a predominantly white institution but has come very far. There are many international students as well as large amounts of african american and asian american students. We still have some ways to go but regardless this is a family oriented university where most are very accepting each other.

Not Much Diversity

There is not much diversity at clemson. It is mostly white then blacks and Asians. So there is some racial instincts but they happen rarely.

Pretty Diverse School

Clemson is a pretty diverse school although there are a lot of white people and a lot of Asians. Every race, religion, and ethnicity is represented on Clemson's campus by someone.
