Clemson University Reviews
Rating 3.92 out of 5 3,565 reviews
Clemson exceeds in all aspects of the college experience. Academics are challenging, yet push you to work hard and grow as an individual. Professors are helpful and supportive along your journey. There is excellent advising for classes, careers, and leadership. Clemson has a great social and academic balance that will make your experience valuable. You will learn from the people around you and learn so much about yourself in the process. Clemson has such a welcoming and safe campus. There are so many opportunities and organizations to get involved with whether that be clubs, sports, intermurals, greek life, alumni association, student council, and the list goes on. Clemson also provides internship opportunities and jobs to get your foot in the door with careers. They hold a career fair every semester as well as mock interviews that allows you to get feedback and build your resume! Clemson is all around a fantastic school to grow you as an individual.
I am a Clemson student who transferred from Greenville Technical College in the Spring 2023 semester. In comparison to my previous schooling, Clemson University is a game changer. The professors are friendly and are typically very willing to help any students. I also feel much support for curious thinking. My adviser is also very helpful, and I can trust her judgment. As a result, I now feel my joy and my knack for learning again. The only issues I find with Clemson are threefold. Their website could be more straightforward and, at times, easier to navigate. The bus system could be more reliable. There is also constant construction around campus; however, this is just a sign of the university keeping its buildings up to date and expanding to accommodate a growing number of students. Otherwise, Clemson University is fantastic, and I am proud to be a student here. Go Tigers!
I majored in Biological Sciences. The classes were certainly hard, but that was expected. I did not have one bad professor. The Biological Sciences department was great and my advisor was very helpful. The campus is beautiful! All of the students were nice and proud to be Clemson Tigers. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the university and in the community. The university police are extremely nice and are constantly on campus keeping it safe. There is always plenty to do. Downtown is just a few steps away from campus, and the nightlife is great there. Football season is amazing- the tailgates are fun, the football is riveting, and the overall experience really shows how Clemson Tigers are one big family.
