It is a beautiful campus and very good for studying in a a peaceful and quite environment. Although it is a small r1 you can make connections with other students. It is usually undergrad focused college though with a huge football team.

I chose Clemson University since they have a lot of good courses to offer for the graduate program and I saw on their website that they had a lot of research opportunities.

No, I didn't receive any scholarships from the university.

I chose this college because it was one of the only colleges providing a specialized course for automotive engineers.

No, but it is possible to get scholarships.

I live very close to the university and always wanted to attend since I can remember. This is the only college I applied to partly because I was 26th in a class of 300 and had a 26 on the ACT so I felt confident in my chances to get accepted. I had many friends in the grades above me apply to Clemson so they showed me what was best to do and once accepted gave tips.

The reason most people come to Clemson is for that feeling of family. Everywhere you go someone will see your Clemson attire and you instantly have that connection. It's great for networking. Not to mention the incredible athletics and research opportunities.

The campus is really pretty with the pond in the center. The atmosphere is safer and more personal than Columbia. The football programs are great. Tough school so a diploma from there will definitely be a good one. And the lake is a minute away.

I had the life scholarship, but got a 2.99 GPA and lost it. I haven't had any other scholarships but have been taking some loans out through the school. The loan process is super easy. You fill out like three forms and then they just put it towards your account automatically. Financial aid office people are pretty rude though so I do my best to not need to go.
