Clemson has a great community aspect. I grew up a fan of its rival USC and came here because of my major. I'm so thankful that I did.

The parking here is horrible. Because they have a lot of employee parking and visitor parking. But you have to have a pass for parking in visitors. And in metered parking you have to have a visitors pass as well. So if you go here, do know, you will not find parking, your car will probably be towed, hit by another car or broken into.
Overall 1.7
The quality of education here is generally quite low. Of course there a few courses/professors that are the exception, but those are few and far between. Most majors seems to only expect an (at best) highschool level of ability from their students. The location is awful, it really is nearly impossible to get around here without a car

I grew up loving Clemson, after going here I HATE it. I hate the cult mentality and I hate the way people act. Parking is unreasonably bad, good luck getting here after 8am you'll have to fight for parking. Not to mention all the entitled students who have no respect for other peoples property.

This is not an academic school. You will get screwed over if you go for a hard major. Especially if you have to work during your time here. And the students here were not raised right. Extremely inconsiderate and only think about themselves. No parking, the last lots fill up at 9am. Not bike friendly, horrible drivers. Cops are useless. Small gyms.
Overall 1.8
A school with an administration that cares nothing for the majority of its students. Actively makes decisions that hurt students who are there to get a degree and not party. It will get so much worse in the coming years as they are already past their carrying capacity and continue to accept increasingly more students. Pres. cares only for his ego.
Overall 1.9
Worst for industrial Engineering. Don't go with ranking. Only good for human factors and optimization. If you want to pursue a career in Supply Chain then don't choose this university ,not even in dreams.
