<p>Guess so. I have been to the mountains (Carolinas) many times, but never to Clemson.</p>
<p>I would say that a 3.o for OOS is pretty low, but pierre’s test scores are very high.</p>
<p>Mitch can you read my first post?</p>
<p>I’ve had a couple English classes and I have found the teachers to be extremely approachable. They also facilitated discussion very well. I can’t really comment on the program beyond that though- I don’t think it is very popular major (like at most schools). A 3.0-3.3 is a bit low for OOS, but it can be adequate with good test scores. I don’t know much about the swim team off hand, but I do have a friend that did some type of non-varsity swimming for the school last year. I will ask her about it next time I talk to her.</p>
<p>Thanks Mitch.</p>
<p>Hello again,
Do you know if most of the engineering students have tablet laptops? Are they pretty popular? Do teachers really recommend them? Would I be in trouble if I don’t have one?</p>
<p>jayzee, I talked to somebody in the Engineering department and they said that they have no preference what kind of laptops engineering students have, most have PC’s but a good bunch have Macs also, you don’t need a tablet if you don’t want one</p>
<p>hey mitch, well im going to be attending clemson this fall and im majoring in political science with a concentration in political economy and minoring in business administration, im out of state and didnt get any of the academic recruiting scholarships and did not receive any need based scholarships even though i had an EFC of 0 on my FAFSA student aid report. I have been told that people in the honors college receive a lot of scholarships? i was planning on applying for the honors college for next year anyways since I missed the deadline for freshman year but it would be nice to know i might qualify for some scholarships, let me know if this is incorrect, thanks!</p>
<p>christina01, it is my understanding that even after the first year, for all majors and honors/non-honors students there are many scholarships available based solely on GPA, so if you get good grades first year, you should get a scholarship to help you out. As far as I know there are no scholarships offered by the Honors College but typically students with high grades are in the honors college so they will be the ones more likely to get a scholarship.</p>
<p>Hey I’m a transfer student from California and i have a couple questions. 1st where do you park your car during home football games, and how do you get tickets for away games.</p>
<p>according to the athletic website, there were only 2 days last year where away tickets were distributed so you can probably get them then</p>
<p>I am not sure how the university handles scholarships awarded after the first year of study. I don’t believe there are any honors college specific scholarships (the students usually have scholarships though), and you might want to contact the financial aid department. I would be interested to hear what they say. </p>
<p>Some students are required to repark their cars before football games, while others aren’t. It depends on the lot you choose to park at, but none of them are too far away from campus. IPTAY might also be able to provide away game tickets. Unfortunately, other than the Alabama game last year, I have been unable to go to an away game (I usually have hockey).</p>
<p>Hey Mitch, I have a question.</p>
<p>Are there any fraternities on campus that are considered “dry” or have a policy that you can’t drink in their house? I like to have fun and party but not while getting drunk</p>
<p>Hey there! I’m an engr student and tablets aren’t necessary. I have one and I will say it’s pretty sweet and I enjoy it- makes drawing diagrams and such easy, but it’s not a necessity.</p>
<p>Does anyone know they layout for calhoun courts- as in which numbers are where? Which are closer to the horseshoe south or north?</p>
<p>I am not sure about the ‘dry’ fraternity thing. I am sure that most of them would be fine with you deciding not to, but I don’t know if any of them have a no drinking policy. </p>
<p>For Calhoun Courts, the N side is to the left (facing the main building) and ends up in the parking lot shared by Thornhill Village. The S side winds the other way. At both sides the numbers increase as you move away from the main building. The smaller numbers are closest to the horseshoe.</p>
<p>Mitch I was looking through my packet I got with my admission decision and it showed a map that showed the percentage of kids from each state, and outside of SC, the most represented states are in New England and the Tri-States. Does it feel like that on campus? How do the kids from the south take to the kids from up north?</p>
<p>Mitch - Do you know anyone who lives in the University Village apartments. It looks like a pretty good deal, just wanted to know if you’ve heard any good or negative things about it.</p>
<p>amc- It doesn’t seem like that to me. I know a lot of people from up north (mainly because of hockey), but it doesn’t seem like they dominate the OOS population. You have to remember that they represent x% of the ~30% of the student population. </p>
<p>Socal- UV is pretty nice. I have been out there a few times over the past couple years. They are a really good deal for what you get, but there is one big drawback- they are far away from campus. It is about a 10 min drive to campus, and the bus ride is a little longer. As a rule, if you look at similarly priced places, they will become nicer as you move away from campus. Personally, I chose to stay close to campus (I walk to class everyday) but it just depends on what you want. I know people that have lived both close to campus and far away, and there is no consensus as to what is best.</p>
<p>As a Clemson student,</p>
<p>What has been your most positive experience? And what was the most negative aspect of your time at Clemson?</p>
