It's a small town for sure, great for Clemson football fans. At the time of writing this review, I'm a current undergraduate student studying at Clemson University. For students, the main entertainment in these parts would be football (tailgating + going to the game) or going to the bars downtown, but for those who aren't that interested in football or nightlife, you're a bit out of luck. As a student, I have access to a lot of socials planned by campus affairs or student organizations, some on weekend nights as an alternative to nightlife. There isn't a whole lot of good food here, but there is a hole-in-the-wall taco place and a cute donut shop in Central that's about a 10 minute drive away. There's been a new ramen shop and a new Vietnamese restaurant that opened in the last few months with good food and boba which is exciting!
Clemson is a college town home to the amazing Clemson University. It is voted one of the most beautiful campuses in South Carolina for a reason! There is constantly something to do, whether you are going to football games, watching parades downtown, or playing games on Bowman Field, you will have fun. The nightlife is great! It gets a little rowdy at times, but I find that entertaining. I stayed after graduation because I could not bear to leave!
Clemson is a wonderful town! I moved here from California and was blown away by the hospitality, beautiful sights like Lake Hartwell, and the wonderful education I received at Clemson University. It is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, and I could not recommend it more!
