Clemson University Reviews

"I loved Clemson. The school is big enough to have a lot of resources, but not so big that you just feel like a number. I really felt a connection to the professors in my program."

"Although the program was only one year long, by the end the faculty, staff, and my classmates felt like family."

"It felt like home. It was so welcoming and I enjoyed Clemson more than I ever thought I would. It's a beautiful area, but is quickly becoming overcrowded and traffic/parking is an issue. It's a great place to study science and engineering."

"Overall I would rate my time there as a 3.5 out of 5. When I was accepted to Clemson. I ended up graduating with a BS in Marketing. As a freshman I began as a Business major and in order to continue coursework for my degree, I had to place into the Marketing Program with a 3.0 and keep it. The curriculum was rigorous with 3 levels of calculus, 3 levels of accounting, 2 levels of finance and one required applied science, in which I chose Human Biology. The instructors were relatively knowledgeable of the courses they taught, but the teaching style was difficult to follow for certain classes, and little help was offered if I fell short of understanding. Diversity of students on Clemsons campus is still lacking. During the time I was there, the most diversity was seen on the football team and rare glimpses of exchange students leaving Jordan Hall (engineering building). The majority of the student population is white, and right before I graduated, the African American student population grew to about 6%. The lack of diversity makes it hard to feel an inclusive culture, but the one thing that I felt brought us all together was football. As far as services offered to students: financial services were always difficult to deal with and career advising and networking opportunities were slim to none unless you were an engineering major. I am overall satisfied with my degree and feel that it set a stable foundation for my understanding of marketing. As an alumni of Clemson, I've found that opportunities for networking have been a lot better post graduation. I do believe the school is doing better now and continues to strive for change."

"Overall, Clemson University's Accounting program is rigorous. Most professors are more than willing to work with you to aid in your learning. You also emerge very prepared to network and succeed in the professional world. There is also a Master's program for those pursuing a CPA license that have not yet met the hours requirement for the license. Most of the upper level courses are challenging, and require students to dedicate a large number of hours to each of them in order to be successful."

"Clemson's MAE program is most challenging because it is consistently enlightening, professors serve as tools in your journey. The program is relatively small, which creates immediate companions that you can build lasting academic relationships with."

"The best school ever, fun, great education, very helpful"

"The pros of my graduate program are convenience, flexibility, and affordability. The cons would be the amount of work for professionals."

"Clemson University tries to provide quality graduate education. It is continuing to update its curriculum to match top universities. However, there are a lot of works to be done. For example, there are a lack of proper and modern equipment in several engineering department. As it is a remote place, the supplies of engineering facilities are not good. Finally, the amount of assistantship should be increased to provide the graduate students better economical support."

"Great school. Everyone is very friendly. The population is small enough to feel like everyone is connected, but big enough to where you are meeting new people all the time. The Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department has a lot of really great professors who are very influential in the field. You can receive a great education there if you want it or you can "Party Right Through May." It's what you put in."

"Clemson has a beautiful campus and the "Clemson family" is definitely a real thing. Soon after arrival, you get the feeling that everyone is glad to be there and glad that you are there as well. Clemson takes education seriously, so you get a good value by going there (especially if you're in state). We also take football seriously, and it's a great environment on game day. Clemson is also situated in the beautiful South Carolina upstate with scenic mountains and lakes in close proximity. I can't imagine my college experience any other way."

"As part of the Master's program in Economics at Clemson University, I was initially surprised to find how most of my courses were in undergraduate classes, but just with an added master's component to the course. Any courses that do not include undergraduates, are filled with PhD students. To me, it seems as though there is really not a tailored master's degree program. However, despite that, the professors have been enormously helpful and are always willing to talk with you about any concerns you may have."

"The full-time intensive masters program was ideal because I went straight into it after completing my bachelors at another college. The business masters/MBA campus is now in downtown Greenville, a definite upgrade from being at the main campus in Clemson. My professors were engaging and the marketing program was small, allowing more interaction and dialogue during classes. My only complaint is that the university always seemed to put the MBA program far ahead of the MS Marketing program in terms of importance and support. Hopefully this has shifted somewhat in the past several years."

"Absolutely beautiful campus with happy and friendly students! Student population/campus size is not too big, not too small, just the perfect size. You feel safe when you're on campus. There's always something fun going on for students!"

"Clemson is a tremendous school with exceptional professors and classes. The whole student body is like a family and the campus is beautiful."

"Going to Clemson is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was like going home after being away for a really long time."

"Good school if you prefer quieter setting with smaller class sizes and a more subdued partying environment. While the school is far to big to consider everyone family there is still a comradely that's felt by all of the students on campus"

"Clemson was attractive to me because (among other reasons) I've heard it was like a family. And it was true. Even though it's a big school with a sprawling campus, as a Clemson student you feel like you're a part of a brotherhood that you can identify with for the rest of your life. You can take classes anywhere, but you can thrive at Clemson."
