<p>Son went from Benet freshman year to Clemson House this year (although wanted Stadium Suites). Clemson House was a hotel or something back in the day so it somewhat has that feel. He’s in a 4 person “suite” - 2 BRs, small full bath, a good size common area and a kitchenette. Note that the Clemson House requires that you clean your own bathroom unlike the other standard freshman dorms that have the community bathrooms on the floor which are cleaned daily. This may or may not be an issue for some. Don’t know too much about the social life, but from what I’m told it’s not a party dorm. It currently houses sophomores thru seniors so I think it is classified as a ‘wet’ dorm (i.e. if you are of legal drinking age you can keep alcohol in your room.) Obviously the criteria will change with all freshman housed there. Another thing to note about Clemson House… whereas Benet is close to most pertinent places (at least for Business students), Clemson House is across the street from the main campus (across from Bowman Field near Visitor’s Center) so not as convenient BUT it does have its own dining hall & fitness center in the building. All of the housing options have their pros & cons; you simply adjust to them, I suppose. There have been no housing complaints since arriving at Clemson (or any other complaints for that matter.) Next year it’s an off campus apartment so that will present its own pluses and minuses I’m sure!</p>
