Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Obvious to anyone who visits Clemson, life here revolves around the school. The towns of Anderson and Seneca are only short drives away, but few find them to be more interesting than the university atmosphere at Clemson. Some students say there isn’t much to do in or around Clemson, while other, more adventurous ones say they can’t get enough of the outdoor activities the region has to offer. If nothing else, Clemson has a golf course and an enormous man-made lake on the outskirts of campus.

When students and alumni talk of the “Clemson Experience,” they aren’t talking about sitting in a classroom five days a week. The “experience” comes from exploring the area in and around Clemson and taking part in every opportunity to wear something orange. Even if you don’t like football (which is life at Clemson), the school and the surrounding area offer limitless opportunities if you’re willing to do a little searching. Greenville and Atlanta are great for the club/bar scene, and the Appalachian Mountains offer everything from camping to water skiing.

College Town in Every Sense of the Word

Clemson University is the best selection for a school that's away from the hustle and bustle of a big city. Classes are not too distanced and housing on and off campus is within manageable range. Friendly students, teachers, faculty, and townspeople along with a beautiful campus and town offer the ideal college experience.

Convenience Is Bliss

Clemson is huge! There's not a reason you should be bored. The stadium has been rated one of the best in the country, so if you're a football fan, you're in luck. Food is never out of reach. Just look around, and I'm sure there's at least one or two places to eat. You just have to try the meals at the Mellow Mushroom. They're delicious!
