@Dis3456 My daughter from Pittsburgh just finished her second year in Calhoun as BS Econ major. Coincidentally while we were visiting her grandmother for Mother’s Day (social distancing of course) they were asking her about the politics, the south etc.
First understand that about 2/3 of the student are from South Carolina which is more conservative than other states. My daughter would be considered a liberal but she is comfortable their. Clemson has a students Democrat club of which my daughter is a member. She proudly stated that the Democrats club “beat” the Republican club in some sort of debate. She also described her economics professors as “libertarian” more than conservative Republicans.
The honors college includes students from all the academic majors. Also most students only take one class a semester of honors courses, which can include small sections of required courses such as math and science etc. So it is not like the honors college is going to have different population base than the university itself.
Clemson is a large public university so there are going to be like minded people for just about any political/philosophic views.
