<p>So I got accepted to Clemson about 3 weeks ago. I'm visiting my friend over Spring Break, and if I like the campus, I'm definatly going to consider going. I've been deferred from Elon and UWisconsin Madison, and so far Clemson is the only school I've gotten into. If I don't get into Elon RD, I need to know if Clemson is where I should head.</p>
<p>Here are some of my questions:
Is there an honors college?
Sure I want to have a good time, but how dedicated are the students to getting a good education?
How large are the classes (excluding freshman year 101 courses)?
How heavy is frat life?
Should I join a frat?
How easily can you access a prof.?</p>
<p>Also, my parents are concerned about sending me to a large state school. I'm prepared to commit myself to getting good grades, but I need arguments for why I should goto Clemson over smaller liberal arts schools (Ithaca, College of Wooster, U Puget Sound)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>There is an honors college on campus. There are separate honors classes, and they are smaller and discussion based.</p>
<p>As a whole, the students are very dedicated, but it depends on who you associate with. There are people who will party every night, and those who will study for hours a day. </p>
<p>The classes aren't that large, but it really depends on what you take. Through my first year (I came in with 32 hours, so I haven't taken many intro classes) I have had an average of ~25 people in my classes.</p>
<p>Frat life is pretty big, but not overwhelming at all.</p>
<p>Join a frat if you think it is something you want to do. It isn't required to have fun on campus, but it is an option.</p>
<p>The professors are very accessible. They have office hours, and are willing to meet outside of them if you schedule an appointment. On more than a few occasions I have had professors answer emails during the weekend.</p>
<p>You should visit both small and large schools to see what atmosphere you want. They are two distinct experiences.</p>
<p>if you are wanting to do the honors college it might be too late to apply. check the deadline...
