While I am transferring to another school I still would recommend Clemson to the right type of student. Coming from the North, I still felt the stereotypes from the majority of South Carolina students there. Because I didn't have a hideous Vera Bradley bag people felt the need to call me a yankee. They say that Clemson has only around 20% of the population involved in Greek life but it seems way more prevalent around campus. It's hard to make friends and have a social life if you're not in a frat/sorority or fca. Everyone here is preppy, republican and religious and if that's not you then you're gonna get discriminated against. The athletics here are awesome but if you're not obsessed with that then you might want to reconsider schools. Clemson is one big family but you need to be just as obsessed as the next person or you'll feel completely on the outside. The "town" can hardly be called so. There are a few bars but theyre all strict so dont even think about it until you're 21. Pretty much if you're a freshman or sophmore you're going to a frat party. The closest cities you're gonna get are Charlotte and Atlanta, both 2 hours away. I would reccomend Clemson to someone who is willing to be in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a bunch of ignorant hicks or rich southern preppy fratty kids.
