<p>I know prestige is important to a lot of students looking at Clemson- it was to me when I was making my decision. If you are a good student, there are many opportunities at Clemson and outside of the school. This summer I am going to be living in Raleigh, NC to intern at a tech company. Next semester I am participating in a research class that will result in me being published in an academic journal. I have other freshman friends who are doing research, and who have secured internships for the summer. If you do well at Clemson and search for opportunities, they will be there for you.</p>
