What are the students like at Clemson? A majority of Clemson students hail from the Southeast and hold fairly conservative political beliefs, and you may feel out of place if you do not fit the mold. But on the whole people say that you’ll get along fine with a cheerful disposition and genuine Tigers enthusiasm. For students looking for activities other than football, there are many teams, clubs, and organizations to join, from Greek life (a fifth of the student body participates) to the school’s Lindy Hoppers (it’s an old-timey dance) to the Dixie Skydivers. Outdoorsy students take advantage of the beautiful climate to play golf, hike, bike, or enjoy nearby Lake Hartwell. Many Clemson students report that their school is big enough that social circles don’t feel cramped, but not so big that they feel like a number. I think the size of Clemson is just right, because you usually know at least one person in your classes, but its not so small that everyone knows everything about you” writes a junior English major. The welcoming atmosphere makes the campus community seem more tight-knit than at other large schools. She continues, “I think the best thing about Clemson is all the students because most people are really friendly, and you can meet a lot of people.”
