Major: Anthropology (This Major's Salary over time)
Reading all the reviews here I think a lot of people are distracted by their own frailties and make selfish reviews. I came from a tiny little school up north that was practically private. People were very liberal, artsy, and everyone thought they were an intellectual. And me… I am a complete nerd who likes video games and most of my friends are stoners. Based on these reviews here it would seem that I don't fit in here at Clemson. It's true that it's Greek dominated, pretty homogeneous and southern conservative, but that doesn't mean you can't find your niche. There is soooo much to do on campus. Just the other day I went to an international food festival where over 30 countries were represented providing food and a taste of their culture. People of every stereotype exist here: ragers, hipsters, stoners, nerds, jocks, athletes, hippies (me), regular joes, etc. That obviously includes preppy and frat/sorority people. Looking between the lines is critical, and if you don't do it you may miss out on a wonderful school. Anyone has every opportunity to succeed and have a great time at Clemson, just need to put your self out there and find the right people.

As far as education goes, I also love it, but I may be a bit of an exception. My interest isn't even really a major (anthropology) but the staff and a few students I've found are heavily involved in the production of our major. Classes are a blast when they're small and you have a good teacher, which I definitely have had several times. It really depends on what you're studying though. Engineering and finance are very work-intensive majors and your life at school is ten times more difficult. But if you're into liberal arts or social sciences it can be extremely rewarding and will help you get on your feet (come on it's not like people with anthropology degrees are doing any better with a bachelors at harvard… it's liberal arts)

I can't say Clemson is the right school for you because I don't know who the f*ck you are, but don't let your mind be clouded by negative comments made by people who don't like football and couldn't get into the fraternity/sorority they wanted. Honestly I don't know sh*t about Greek life and I've been to one football game… I have the time of my life here, daily. Life is what you make it, and Clemson gives you the tools to make an amazing college experience for your self.
