[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah the more frequent and open racism, huge Greek culture, conservatism of the State and the school being a bit of a let down for those who didn’t get into Clemson all seem like big turnoffs to me. [/quote]

Why are we continuing to perpetuate stereotypes based on experiences you all had over a decade ago?
I have a student there now.  No indications of any of these things mentioned.  Great school overall.  Even better business school.
Super fun sports and social scene.  Strong academics.

But, I guess that doesn't meet the DCUM narrative.  Sorry it isn't an Ivy.  In many ways, it is better!
GO COCKS![/quote]

My son is there and there is frequent use of the n word and racism.

Not by the university or teachers but definitely by students.

It’s not a stereo type it’s a fact.

My sons SC friends are not racist but most other people he meets don’t think anything of it.

This is a big concern for my liberal DC who is actually considering the school after a surprisingly great visit where, obviously, none of this was present. They found the community to be diverse, down to earth, and even liked Columbia. Does your son regret choosing UofSC?[/quote]

Regret no. Is it as great as he hoped, no. But I thinks it’s unfair to only get my feedback on that because he is a 2020 kid and I feel that year was robbed of many normal college experiences.

Everywhere I ho if I wear a gamecock anything somebody tells me they went there and lived it. My H is in finance and many gamecocks work there.

I’d say most of his problems were COVID related.

I think the racism is educational… not just some thing he’s heard about in school or from us, it’s actually real.

The university is liberal though. The governor and the president of the school sued each other over COVID masks and online school.

There were racist protestors on campus (it’s a public school so they could not really kick them out) and the students and the band circled them to drowned out their racist chants. The president quickly condemned it.

I think he dislikes the frat atmosphere more than he thought he would.

But he likes the school, the weather, golfing, the food, football, food and he’s finally getting into some clubs. Did I mention the food, lol. They have food street festivals every Saturday and the food is multicultural not just southern.
