Clemson University Top Questions

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

Hannah

The worst thing about Clemson is it's extremely conservative nature. The students here are mostly in state and have been raised in the bible belt with their parents' political and religious views held tightly. This inhibits personal growth and perspective which should be gained in college. It makes the campus somewhat inaccessible to people seen as outsiders. Others, like myself, are questioned when seen as having different or conflicting world views compared to that of the born south carolinians.

Although, I am sure that there maybe be a "worst thing", I have not come upon that particular thing yet.

My advisor was not much help at the beginning of the year, so I ended up taking a class that I did not need so I ended up wasting time and money. That was dissapointing and frustrating.

Grace

I think the worst thing about Clemson is it's location. It is in the middle of nowhere and the amount of things to do gets very limited. The nearest town is a 15 minute drive and there is not much to do except eat in that town anyway. The nearest "big city" is about 2 hours away. There is a lot of farmland.

Clemson University has truly become my home away from home. I love everything about this University, and I would not change a thing.

Clarissa

The worst thing about my schoool is the out of state tuition. I love my school, which is why I chose to attend Clemson. However, the out-of-state tuition is ridiculous. I reccomend looking hard for scholarships, that was oe mistake I made during high school. College is not cheap by any means.

its hard to say what is the worst thing. The classes can be hard and at times the teachers can be difficualt to understand bacause of their failure to be able to think on a students level. Thought to spite that many teachers work great with students but occationionly you get a teahcer that is just difficult and not helpful and they might be the only one teaching that class.

Brandi

The worst thing about Clemson is the lack of socio-economic diversity. It is a school that encourages wealthy students to apply and makes it nearly impossible for less fortunate students to be very active. Those of us who were not born with silver spoons in our mouths tend to work our ways through this school, causing our social and extracurricular lives to suffer.

Amanda

There really aren't many bad things about Clemson, I don't know what would be the worst. Anything I could come up with wouldn't be very bad. The worst lately has been the weather. Since its in the upper part of the state near the mountains, it gets pretty chilly up here! Other than that, everything else here is fine.

Rachel

It is hard to choose something here at a school that is very bad. The only thing I can think of is the school work load. Here at Clemson we are given a lot work. It is not necessary a bad thing because it challenges us to complete it all and in the end we feel successful. This school wants everyone to succeed so the work load is simply a taste of ow the real world will be, so it is not necessarily bad.
