<p>The percentage of people who leave Clemson after a semester or a year isn’t that high. The majority of people who do will either switch to an in-state school with lower tuition or they give up after the intro to engineering course. I also toured Elon and determined that I didn’t like it because it was too small with nothing to do (I’m not alone in that opinion). A lot of small colleges have that kind of feel to them if they’re not near a city.</p>
