To be honest, I don't know much about the program. I believe that a friend looked into it, so I will try to ask him about RISE.

Hey Mitch, I'm about 95% sure I'm transferring to Clemson this fall, as a sophomore (female). For housing, they recommend transfers to put the apartments as their first options because they are more likely to get their choice.

What would you say about this? I was thinking about putting Lightsey Bridge II, then either Lightsey Bridge I, Calhoun Courts, or Township (is that the name?) Do a lot of sophomores live here, or is the Clemson House the main sophomore dorm?

Any information on the sophomore housing is appreciated! Thanks!

Most sophomores that stay on campus live in Stadium, McCabe, Calhoun Courts, Clemson House, and Lightsey 1 &2. Those are all for upper-classmen only (well for the most part). If you want to try and meet people that live near you McCabe, Stadium, and Clemson house are your best bet because you are on a hall, like a traditional dorm. Other than that choose where you would want to be. McCabe and Stadium (which are dorms) are in campus, while Clemson House and Calhoun are more of a walk. Lightsey is the furthest from campus.

Hi I am the daughter on my moms screen name now. She convinced me to ask you about what you think about the Eureka Program... I am really freaking out because it would be a good opportunity but I can't decide if I should do it or not. I am from Minnesota and that would basically take up my whole summer. I guess I am just asking you: from what you have heard about the eureka program how benificial did the participants think it was? Would I be really passing up a HUGE opportunity? I guess I am looking for an unbiased oppinion because my parents think I should do it but my friends think I am crazy to go and give up my summer to do research...

If you think the program is interesting, do it. From what I have heard, the people who participated absolutely loved the experience, and the members grew quite close. Giving up your summer is a tough decision (I am giving up mine to intern in Raleigh), but if it is something that you will enjoy and will aid you in the future than it may be worth it. Eureka is a great opportunity; however, only you can decide if it's worth your summer.
