[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has he visited both, they are vastly different.

Wake has a smaller greek system, its not the same vibe as Clemson which has a large greek system more like an SEC school (although its ACC).

Clemson has a much more southern vibe and kids who aren't used to that can have a little culture shock. Wake has kids from all over the country and doesnt feel like a "NC only" school and has a more insolated feel- smaller campus but lovely. [/quote]

They are not "vastly" different. The hyperbole is not helpful.

Wake's Greek system may be smaller but only because there are fewer students. Overall, it has a larger impact on the tone of the campus than does the Greek system at Clemson.

Clemson's vibe is not "much more" Southern; in fact the two are comparable in that category. Anyone who experiences a "culture shock" at either of these schools is too immature to be in college.

Some of you love the over-the-top language, but it's not a positive in your writing style or helping with questions like this.[/quote]

Yes they are very different, even "on paper".

Clemson- Rural, Public, 23,401 undergrads
Wake - Suburban, Private,  5,490 undergrads

The vibes are not comparable as another PP describes Wake feels more like a country club/boarding school envt, and its a very contained campus. Most students stay on campus through Jr year with a very large amount of students studying abroad junior year.  Wake has 50% of undergraduates participating in Greek life, but it feels different than Greek life a a large school like Clemson. [/quote]

Please. Clemson is not "rural." [/quote]

Lol. Yes it is. Its in the middle of no where. That's not a dig. Also- US News & World Report categorizes them that way.

Clearly, you've never been there. "Rural" is Penn State. [/quote]
