[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had relatives go to both UNC and Clemson.  My son didn't get into UNC (out-of-state) and went to Clemson instead, and is very happy there.  [b]Similar student body[/b], weather, school spirit, and size.[/quote]

How so?[/quote]

It's mostly Southerners, and the out-of-state students are students who wanted to go South.  So, people dress up more, are friendly, tend to be more religious, etc.  Many of these other suggestions (Wisconsin, Indiana) have hardly any Southerners.  It's a different feel.[/quote]

This does not necessarily describe UNC. Both Clemson and UNC have milder weather, are in the south where people are known to be friendly and have great school spirit with their sports teams BUT Clemson definitely has a more conservative and religious vibe that is much more out in the open vs Chapel Hill. And people are not really dressing up at Chapel Hill (was there 3 weeks ago). My friend from McLean has a son at Clemson now and while he likes the school and is happy there he was really surprised how common it is at Clemson to be very religious and conservative. These are not necessarily bad things and I’m not suggesting they are cons but it’s not like that at UNC. Don’t stereotype all southern schools together. [/quote]
