Opinions on Clemson?

Not an academic school. No one recruits there except the NFL.

It is barely a college town. A couple bars and your typical five guys and chipotle for restaurants. Gotta drive 30 minutes to civilization and 45 minutes to the airport -- that is if you don't hit traffic. But people love it there. Just depends what you want out of college.

I'm curious what would be considered an academic school. Is there a certain attribute that Clemson lacks, or does offering football diminish the academic reputation?

Objectively stupid post.

Are the academics good at Clemson? How is the business school? Do kids get good jobs out of college?

It is not a very highly rated school nationally, but if you want to live in that part of the world, as a regional school, it is fine.

My sister lives near there. It is a very, very, very conservative area with little to do. Heavily Christian and fairly racist.

Southern preppy bro’s. Rapey. And racist. I have family there currently.

???? It is ranked 70th by USNews. Technically just one slot lower than UMD, and the same rating as GWU. Higher than Tech.

Technically, but I think any prospective employer would hire the average student from GWU, Tech or UMD over Clemson.

Who needs facts when you have conjecture?

LOVE!!
My business partnered with the school years ago so I visited a lot. Very bright kids! Campus is gorgeous. Kind of reminded me of Cornell. Big Greek culture and lots of outdoors like fly fishing or crew. I know several Clemson graduates and they are obsessed with their school. Tons of school spirit with sports. In fact would love my DS to go one day!

Solid school, but the love of the football program is huge.

The love of the football program is big at every school in the south.

That is true of almost every college in the south...UF, FSU, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, LSU etc, etc, etc.

College football is fun in the south.

Not a strong state school, but trying to improve.
