All Work And No Play?

No, we aren't all work. As the cliché would imply, we believe that leisure time is an important component of a student's study in any academic program, but particularly so during the rigors of graduate school. You will come to find that though the town of Clemson is relatively small, there are plenty of nearby attractions and local hangouts to fill an afternoon, evening or even a weekend with relaxing activities.

Additionally, whether you are relaxing at a local pub, hiking through the mountains, or participating in a local church activity, we hope you will discover that one of Clemson's greatest assets is its people. Indeed, college at all levels, we believe, should include academic achievement as well as the cultivation of valuable relationships--professional and social. The MAPC network, you will find, like the Clemson University network, includes people from all over the world and located all over the world who are still important parts of a community that they were active in during their years here. It is no accident that, in the past, those students who have performed well in the MAPC program have been those who have sought relationships with their colleagues and enjoyed a friendly support network. With an eye toward helping new students and current students establish friendships and find places to relax, we have established this page with advice from present and past students concerning what to do in the area.

We look forward to welcoming you into the community, and hope that, as a member of this community, if you enjoy an activity in the area that isn't listed here, you will let us know so that we might post it here for others to consider!
