Clemson University — Attraction in Clemson

Sun, February 11th 2018 We arrived at carolina place mall a bit early for a lunch date and seen a couple of students and staff going back and forth with build a bears. The lady said they had over 400 hundred bears to load, so my daughter was eager to help guessed they we're probably for sick kids. She asked one of the ladies if she could help load the van the lady happily replied: "the more the merrier". shes goes into the mall with the lady practically skipping then minutes later she came back out with a guy named Ryan and her head was hung low. He said i cant help because i dont go to their school.... Whaaat? So the guy approaches me and says that the bears are indeed for sick children but my daughter couldn't help. Then they recounted every bear in that van and locked all doors. When prior to they just were loading now they are taking the time to lock the doors each time a load is brought out when they weren't before. This just really made me and my daughter feel some type of way. Whats so wrong with her wanting to volunteer her time to sick children just as they are. I'm not sure but i just dont like the way they handled that she can't help because she doesn't go to the school? Way to break a childs helping spirit...

No one is going to read this but - this place is awful. The people that love it only love it because of football and deep rooted traditions in their family. Most academic programs are nothing like what they are described as. Teachers seem to not care at all. You may be lucky to find one or two that seem to care but most won't reply to your emails or help you out at all.

The Animal Veterinary Science program is nothing about veterinary science, AT ALL. Its about agriculture and production. So, pretty much all they do is teach you how to slaughter and then talk bad about people that don't agree with their methods. Transferring here made my whole plans change and everything went down the drain. Oh and not to mention, if you're not a heterosexual white person, you get stares and threats.

And finally of course, there's parking. This place just wants to suck you of your money any way possible and will fine you for the smallest issue ever. I can't even count how many times I've missed class due to not being able to park or being...

I'm a student. The mechanical engineering program here sounds good from outside the school, but it really is not much to be proud of. Most of the professors couldn't care less about the students, and many of them would rather you do poorly. The parking "services" alone is a reason to avoid this school. You'll pay a fortune for a parking permit so you can park practically a mile away from anywhere else on campus. That said, there isn't enough parking anyway. If you park anywhere else, the parking services will screw you over with tickets that can be over $100, even if you park in a metered spot and its just 2 minutes expired. They do not have mercy on ticket appeals. They probably don't even read them. The curriculum is also not based on your success in the future, but rather just making the school "challenging." I transferred from Samford University because they did not have mechanical engineering, and I can testify Clemson University is no comparison to the education and loving professors at Samford. I highly suggest...
