“I came to Clemson with the mindset that I
was ready to be a leader and get involved,
but I never thought it could be as much as it
was. I never thought I could be as engaged
with my major and my college as I am.”
— Kendall Parrish, sophomore management and marketing major

Welcome to
No. 11 Happiest Students
— The Princeton Review, 2021
Clemson
Clemson University is a place where community is
encouraged. Our students are always talking about
how connected they feel to the campus, the town, the
faculty and the people they interact with every day.
Throughout these pages, we want you to discover
pieces of our campus life, academics and the University
spirit from the students who live it every day.
Being here offers a sense of belonging very quickly.
Whether it’s driving into campus on a road painted
with our trademark Tiger Paws, seeing the names of
alumni memorialized on brick walkways or getting the
chance to talk to faculty during a tour, Clemson offers
a different kind of “feel” than anywhere else.
We embrace who you are and who you want to be
through clubs, organizations and the 80+ majors
offered among seven distinct colleges. And we
encourage you to bring your own personality into
everything you do on and off campus.
Clemson embodies more than a great education.
We are the deafening cheers of 80,000 fans as the
Tigers run into Death Valley. We are the applause
at each award ceremony celebrating innovations
and excellence.
We are a part of something bigger, and we want
you to be a part of something greater.
Let’s get started — together.
“Clemson is not Clemson
without the people in it. It’s
hard to put into words, but
it comes from the care and
passion that everyone has here.
We may not be passionate
about the same things, but
we are all passionate about
something.”
— Thomas Marshall III, senior English major

“We have this cohesive

community at Clemson.
Clemson is unique and
welcoming, and people want
Finding your home
that feeling of family that
comes from it. As a tour
guide, I always love watching
people walk through campus
and realize that this school
is so much more than they
thought.”
— Catherine Chapman,
senior psychology major
Clemson’s campus will become your home away from home. Our front yard is
Bowman Field, where you’ll find students throwing a Frisbee or playing Spike Ball
anytime the sun is shining — and even when it isn’t.
And the campus is your neighborhood. A place where feeling at home comes
as easily as a trip to our famous dikes for a fall sunset or a stop at your favorite
pizzeria for a slice. It’s where, moment by moment, you connect to this place that
will be part of you forever.
Whether you are meeting your roommate for the first time in one of our 17 Living-
Learning Communities, making a family recipe for our annual International
Festival or sitting with friends at a movie in the Hendrix Student Center, becoming
a part of Clemson begins the moment you step on campus.
No. 1 Town-Gown Relations

PIPER STARNES, PERFORMING ARTS DYLAN ERIKSON, PSYCHOLOGY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE
Striking a chord First impressions
Like so many students going to college,
Piper Starnes wasn’t quite sure what to
expect from Clemson. The sophomore
performing arts major from Tega Cay,
South Carolina, knew a lot of her
classmates would be joining her here, but
she wasn’t exactly sure that Clemson was
for her.
An audition is what would change her
college path and almost everything she
expected from a small-town college with
big aspirations for each of its students.
“I was looking out of state for college,
but when I did my audition at Clemson,
there was just something I loved about the
environment and faculty,” Piper says. “I
forgot everything else and only wanted to
come here after that.”
The difference, she says, came in the little
things. Things like the greeting she got
from faculty and students during that
audition and how it was more welcoming
than other places. Elsewhere, Piper felt
she was told what her path needed to be.
But at Clemson, people were asking her
what she wanted to do and, as important, There were a handful of professors who “A lot of my friends are in fields vastly
