If you are looking for a comfortable school, then this is the school for you. Everything is normal here , from the education to the opportunities. However if you are looking for a challenging environment, where you will grow beyond yourself, then you will be frustrated here. The worst thing is that the students are not motivated

Claflin is not all that is seems to appear. In my perspective,this school should honor students and females, since the faculty and staff care for them, more than the males. Concerning the men, there's only 2 dorms for men and 8 for females. Seriously??? Word up!! I would say to not go here. The school just want to suck up money, among other things

I am transferring after my first semester here. When I visited they made me love the school but I do not feel that I would grow here. There are very few people that actually want to do something with their lives. My classes felt like regular level tenth grade courses. The overall experience felt like a summer camp, not a college campus.

The location is rather poor, and the curriculum can be more challenging. Really easy to pass the classes with A's while doing the bare minimum. But the students and the professors seem pretty much content with everything going on over here
