He lived in Holmes Hall, which was then the Honors dorm, as a freshman and sophomore. He liked the community and living with like-minded students. He’s now a junior and is living off campus. He spends a lot of time in the new Honors center. He says it’s a great place to hang out between classes and get work done and see friends. I don’t know much about the dorms in the new building but I’m guessing they’re nice!
For those of you who have students who were accepted, there is a Facebook Group and a GroupMe for Accepted Honors Students. If your student is interested in joining, we can add him/her–but please no parents!
Additionally, there is a general GroupMe for Clemson Admits.
@SFLmom , no worries. I meant that tongue in cheek for the dad, not you. I am so cyber challenged. It is all good. We are all very invested in our children’s education which is a good thing. It is sad to see otherwise great students with no one in their corner. I hope your daughter comes to Clemson, I went there and it really is a very special haven for those who become CU Tigers, but it is not right for everyone.My husband went to a ultra private fine arts and then Tulane Med school. It seems each was the right place at the right time for him and I thrived at CU. We are all diverse and fortunately in the US, we have so many choices. I am just proud of all our kiddos. It is now cool to be scholastic and in my day, not so much. Keep us posted on how things go. Your daughter sounds amazing and I expect she will do great things!! We are all hoping she becomes a tiger,but wherever she goes, she will be a winner because it is easy to tell you have worked hard to help her become the awesome girls she is! Sorry, I really did not mean to make you feel bad. I understand completely. We have had to go toe to toe at HS to make sure our girl gets the awards she deserves because we live in a perpetual “participation” trophy world. We have advisors who want to “spread the wealth” because even if you deserve your award,they like Little Johnny to feel good, too…even if Little Johnny doesn’t always do his work and he is a jock who thinks books are just trees that find their way on to his desk with no given purpose. LOL…we all have our crosses to bear so to speak! Def appeal, your girl sounds like she would be a big asset to the program~
@happytoaster Do you know the names of the groups? My D needs to find a roomy for Core.
If you are in the Honors Facebook Group, I believe there are links to the GroupMe’s on that page. There is a Large Honors group and a girl’s group.
Is there a groupme? How do I join?
@bunkmeister There’s a general Clemson GC and there’s an Calhoun Honors GC. You can join by link, or by having someone in one of the groups add you. The best way if you’re in honors is to join the Facebook Honors Group, and then the links are on that page.
@happytoaster Could you please pm me the link of the Honors Facebook group? I can’t find it 
Did anyone here apply late to the honors college? Have you heard anything?
My son applied late and was accepted 3/31.
