Current Clemson Student- Any Questions? - Page 3

I was just asking because dorm life seems very different for girls than for guys IMO. Girls seems to have a more 'sisterly' bond with the other girls in their dorm. From what I hear, every dorm has its share of loudness and parties. Holmes has the biggest rooms and the best location as it is close to Harcombe (dining hall), the library, Death Valley, and classes. I haven't been in Johnstone, but the building is old, ugly, and set to be torn down in the next few years. The Shoeboxes are very close to Death Valley and Fike. The rooms have tiles floors, but each room does have its own sink. The high rises are farther from Death Valley and Fike, but are near the library and Schiletter (dinning hall). These rooms are carpeted, seem larger than the Shoeboxes. Also, the Lever bathrooms were nicer than the Shoebox bathrooms I have been in. I'm not sure if I really answered your question though. Is there anything more specific you would like to know?

I am actually staying in Calhoun Courts due to a mixup with the housing department. It is nice having my own kitchen, bathroom, and living room, but I do envy my friends who have the 'hall experience'. Luckily my roommates are cool (I came here with one of them), but we don't talk to our neighbors much, whereas in dorms most people know their hall-mates pretty well.

Congrats to both of you for receiving the finalist notification.

auraeight, i am planning on going to finalist weekend, however I am really trying to get the Pogue at UNC, and if i am a finalist, i think the weekends might conflict. National Scholars is really enticing though, and as of right now I am 98% sure I will go. I am from Charleston, SC. Where are u from?

Mitch_L: thank you for all of the information!!
I have a question for you. I am a senior and applied to the Clemson nursing undergradate major. I should be hearing any day now, but I feel as though I will not be accepted into my major because my SATs have been pulling me down. I was wondering, if I were to be accepted into Clemson as an Undeclared major, if I keep my grades up would transferring in be easy/doable? I didn't specify on my application a second major (which was a stupid mistake) so would I be able to reapply as an undeclared?

unc please!!! · 02-14-2008, 07:32 PM

IS it possible to double major between colleges??? Could I do engineering and business?

Mitch_L · 02-14-2008, 10:58 PM

Melanie- I believe that transferring majors is fairly easy to do, but it depends upon where you want to be. I know at orientation some major couldn't be transfered into, but they did say that sports should open up in the future. I would contact the nursing department and ask them. Last week was actually change your major week on campus.

UNC- I think you can, but I am unsure. My roommate is majoring in engineering and minoring in econ, but he had to see a member of the econ department to do this. I would call and ask to be sure, but I don't think it would be a problem. They share few courses though, so it will take a lot of course hours and work.

My daughter just got admission into Clemson with Biology major. We live in Charlotte, NC. She has a unweighted GPA of 3.3 and weghted 3.7(Her weighted is low as she did her 9th and 10th grades in Tokyo where we lived three years and where the American School In Japan did not offer Honors or AP classes). She has 2010 SAT. She is a well rounded kid that travelled to over 35 countries with me because of my job and has an excellent perspective on life world wide.

What kind of Out of State tuition waivers does Clemson have?
Does she stand a chance of getting one?

I believe that the cutoff for the OOS wavier is a 1350 Math+Verbal SAT and being in the top 10% of your high school class. I am not sure if they will relax those qualifications for a specific situation.

esmitty01 · 02-16-2008, 01:44 PM

I got admitted. I have a 1350/1990 sat. but my school doens't rank, nor give ne indication of how i would be ranked to colleges. Will i still have a chance of the oos waiver?

When I applied to Clemson in October, I applied to the school as a nursing major and didn't put a second major down. I wasn't accepted, and I am working on the appeal form. Can I apply as an undeclared major AND fill out an appeal form for the nursing major? I don't know about my chances, and I'm thinking I should appeal my decision and say my intended major is undeclared because my chances would probably be greater, and I REALLY want to go to Clemson.

Mitch_L · 02-18-2008, 07:14 PM

It would be best to contact admissions about that. They can point you in the right direction. Good luck with your appeal.
