Campus Preview
With so many avenues to explore, the Clemson experience is different for every student. Many choose to build on our rich traditions by cheering for the Tigers at a football game, while others focus on the surrounding community through service organizations. Some students prefer to forge their own paths, networking and pursuing internships at big-name companies. And then there are those who recognize that all work and no play is taking advantage of only a few of Clemson’s many offerings.
On campus, there are more than 300 student organizations, numerous intramural teams, NCAA sports, cultural events and spacious fitness facilities. Off campus, Clemson’s geography offers endless recreation options, including outdoor exploration, world-class entertainment, great shopping and many dining options.
In an effort to help first-year students adjust successfully to university life, the office of New Student and Family Programs (NSFP) works in collaboration with various campus partners to support the overall growth and development of first-year students.
