Clemson: Clemson UniversityClemson is a great school and has a lot going for it. I am a senior and have taken classes at NC State, UNC, and Wake Forest. Clemson has by far the best location, atmosphere, and quality of life. It is probably one of the last true college towns in existence. The academic programs are challenging and soon the college will be a top 20 public school. Students who are more comfortable living in a busier environment like Atlanta or Raleigh would probably being somewhere else.
