Clemson University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Clemson University? Why?

Madison

I consider the worst thing about Clemson University to be that the wireless internet is horrible in the dorms. The problems with the wireless internet are that you can be sitting in the dorm and you will have extremely slow internet and it will randomly cut out on you. Clemson likes to do the majority of its homework through websites associated with the books. When the Wi-Fi cuts out in the middle of an assignment you can often lose all the work you have done. This can cause a loss in time and energy and makes many people unhappy.

While football maybe exciting, there is too much emphasis placed on the athletic aspect of the school rather than the academic achievements of the school. There aren't many events that occur when there are no home games or even football present. In addition, the lack of focus on research proves to be a detriment of the reputation of the school. Along with football, there's such a huge lack of diversity and for living in the 21st century I still have to deal with rascist remarks I shouldn't have to deal with.

There is not much diversity. My school is very heavyily frat/sorority territory. If you go on campus, you will see most girls dressed in leggings and sorority shirts, and guys dressed in khaki shorts and polos.

It took me quite some time to try to find an answer to this question. If I had to say anything negative about Clemson University, I'd say the available parking for students on campus could be improved. Clemson is such a high-valued university, and so many students across the nation dream to attend its beautiful campus. The times when classes are the most popular (10:30 am-1:00 pm), it's somewhat difficult to find a parking spot without having to drive around for at least 10 minutes.

The worst thing about Clemson is the cost of attendance because tuition and fees increase every semester.

Clemson University is dedicated to its students in many ways, but takes unfair advantage of them using the University bookstore. The University bookstore only buys back select used books, often for 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} or less of the original price. It then sells those used books back for 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} or more of the original price. Freshman are especially taken advantage of, as many common freshman classes require special edition Clemson book packages that can only be found at the University bookstore. Students who pay thousands of dollars per semester for an education deserve better than being ripped off by their own bookstore.

The worst thing about my school is the limited housing on campus, because lately Clemson has been accepting more students than they can accomodate living spaces for. Therefore, If you aren't in a Fraternity, LLC(Living Learning Community), or a RA you aren't entirely certain you will have a place to live on campus. Therefore, I wish Clemson had more housing on-campus for students.

Diane

I cannot think of anything that is considered worst thing about my school; I feel as though it has its good and bads in the right amount.

Megan

If I had to pick the worst thing about my school it would probably be the emphasis of Greek Life. Though Greek Life can be a wonderful thing for a student to be involved with, I personally do not feel it should be a major part of a campus. Sometimes you can feel like if you are not affiliated with one of these organizations that you can't participate in some events that you may want to be a part of and a student should never feel left out for any reason.

Carl

nothing really. Just have some hard work here and there from classes
