I spoke to my son’s friend who is unhappy at Clemson. This is one person’s experience and viewpoint.
He said he wanted to go there because he felt like the only student with fiscally conservative views (=Romney-type Republican) in the small private school he attended with mostly liberal or progressive students and faculty, and he wanted something different. Unfortunately he finds that the student body is overwhelmingly hard right conservative, and the kids he knows, including those from OOS, are all in for Trump. Although he has made some friends, he finds the school very homogenous overall and didn’t realize how much he appreciated diversity, and how important it is to him. He will finish out the year and then transfer out.
I did a quick look and as a public school Clemson does a poor job of representing its state’s large African American population.
