Student and Parent Reviews
If you are a student, former student, faculty member or parent, please help guide other prospective students by sharing your personal experiences at this college. What is it really like to go to Clemson University?
Parent
Very difficult if you are a transfer student especially if you are enrolling in any engineering programs. Professors have very limited hours for students, help sessions for different departments are posted then you go to find out the building is closed no one there, advisor cancelled multiple appointments day of. Tutoring sessions were only for a half hour, doesn’t help much when you are taking hard core courses such as physics. Tell your student they are doing great when they are barely passing because they have to take difficult courses in one semester because they are transfer student. Overall very disappointing with the amount of money they charge you would think they would have excellent academic support centers for these students.

Great value.
Current Student
It’s just not that fun. No diversity- everyone here is white, preppy, narrow minded, and very full of themselves. The town has nothing going on- a small, conservative, holier than thou town where the only thing going on is Clemson football. The social scene is also nonexistent compared to other schools in the state. “Who wants to sit around a keg in an apartment complex with concrete floors tonight!?” Very disappointed and will be transferring after sophomore year
Parent
Information Job Statistics at graduation, Admittance into graduate schools, Greenville things to do, Greenville Airport (exceptional for out of state students), Area things to do for students such as activities on Lake Hartwell, Table Rock, Atlanta trips ect.
Current Student
