Clemson is not the college town it used to be. Having grown up there my entire life, it is obvious that Clemson lacks some of its great character from the past. For instance, the infamous Mac's Drive-In is no longer owned by Mac, rather by a redneck, cyclops named Ted. Speaking of rednecks, Clemson University has lost touch with its good ole southern boys. Overalls have been replaced by Abercrombie & Fitch, and pick-up trucks have been replaced by SUV's. Instead of casually socializing at the Esso Club on football Friday's, students would rather binge tequilas and vodka in their dorm rooms. Not that I hate people from the north, but there are A LOT OF RUDE YANKEES HERE. If you are from Ohio or Pennsylvania and are considering Clemson, be prepared to clash with South Carolinians because your accent is annoying! You are welcome to bring your bags, girlfriend, and pet fish to the Upstate of South Carolina, just don't bring your attitude, for it is not appreciated.

This is not to say that Clemson University isn't a quality academic institution. One cannot stereotype an entire campus; however, I truly wish that students would smoke less pot and do more studying. So we are the #2 party school in the nation, what can be said? This university has so much to offer, yet its students do not take advantage of it. Students at Clemson are often more interested in their next shopping spree than their next exam. Many students are clicky, spoiled, and image-oriented, as I would call, "quiche."

And on to the next subject, and, to some, the most important aspect of life in Clemson. You guessed it, football. It is despicable to have Tommy Bowdoin as our coach. He is a Stever Spurrier all-around jerk with a Brad Scott coaching record. Yes, I said Brad Scott, who was the coach at USC when they were 1-10 and is now our offensive coordinator (genious). You cannot fathom how irritating it is for a local high school student when the Clemson football coach lives in a mansion across the creek in Seneca!

In conclusion, Clemson is a great school and you can easily find your niche somewhere on campus. While you enjoy what it life really should be like as a college student, many of your classmates will be buttoning up their polos and setting up for the next frat party. Take Clemson University for what its worth, and you will cherish Spitoono much more when you are older.
