I just got back from interviewing at Clemson for grad assistantships in the Student Affairs program (it's a masters degree). I should be able to get in to the program and I am very excited to be a part of the Clemson community! One question...how can I get my user name changed on this website? I still like Florida, but I think it seems out of place since I'll be going to Clemson now.
Also, where are some good places to eat?

allorange what about the Blue Heron Sushi, Super Taco, Pixie and Bill's and Todaro Pizza in addition to those you mentioned.
Sorry I can't help you with the username but you could always start another account and keep your Gator account as well.
I also say welcome to the family.

I do appreciate all of the warm welcome! I can't wait to get up there, and I'm not too worried about what the guy from Ohio said. I'd rather go to a school that only has one national championship than to another school that's been killed in 2 of their last 3 NC appearances (and the other that was won with unending controversy). Besides, South Carolina is much nicer than Ohio and the people couldn't be friendlier. Oh and by the way, Woody Hayes lacked class and was a total dick...just thought I'd throw that out there.

Hey Gators, welcome to Clemson and the Tiger family. We welcome all who wish to be a part of the best university in this state.
Also, Woody Hayes suffered from chronic bedwetting and bouts of bleeding hemmorhoids.... not many people knew that. Sometimes the two would cross one another and the resulting sleeplessness would cause him to explode in angry outbursts and embarrass the Ohio State university.
But nevertheless, again, welcome to South Carolina, home of the Tigers !

You will love living in Clemson. We welcome you to our small, but vibrant city where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness, where the Tigers play.
I concur with the list of restaurants submitted by allorange. When you want to spend some big money on dinner, go to Calhoun Corners or Pixie & Bill's. Additionally, there will soon be a new Beef O'Brady's Sports Pub opening in Clemson. Being from Florida, I'm sure that you are probably familiar with this fun spot for sports, food and drink.
CU at the ballgames!!

In the new Tillman Village shopping center on SC 93. There is a new Food Lion there too. It's just before you get to Bi-Lo.
The Beef O' Brady's should be open in late May or June. It should be a great place to watch ballgames and pick up wings for tailgating.

Dude dont get sucked into all the Clemson BS, that town is infested with preppy/yuppy dorks who wear bowties and pink pants with boat shoes. What a bunch of flamers, best place to eat is your own house, because if you go out, be sure to wear how much money and your racism on your sleeve. I am in clemson right now, and this place is a time warp back to the cheesy 80's fraternity films with all the guys and their rayban(costa del mar) sunglasses, and the most hideous display of orange and purple everywhere makes you feel like its halloween year round. The idea that clemson is a friendly southern town is also as true as OJ Simpson's alibi, the people here are so arrogant yet so uneducated and ignorant it explains why no one from up north knows, or cares where this town is located. DON'T SWITCH TEAMS BECAUSE YOU ARE MOVING THERE, THAT SCHOOLS FOOTBALL PROGRAM IS GOING NOWHERE, STICK WITH YOUR CURRENT TEAM .

So, OSU_Airborne doesn't care for the southern hospitality of Clemson. After reading his rude comments, I don't imagine he made too many friends while in Tigertown.
Frankly, I've never seen pink pants or bow ties in Clemson and I spend 360 days a year here. To me Clemson is about as close to heaven on earth that anyone can find within these United States. Lots of students, alumni and townspeople will agree with me.
It's fine with me if "no one from up north knows, or cares where this town is located". This way, it will remain an uncrowded, yet thriving, small southern town void of big city yankees.
I promise you the weather is better than in the state of Ohio and at least we don't wear our nuts on our helmets.

Smelc, HOW CAN YOU BLATANTLY LIE TO THE MAN, you say that you live in clemson year round and have never seen a bowtie, pink pants, boat shoes!!!! WHERE IN TOWN DO YOU LIVE!!!! Go downtown, or better yet, the fraternity quad, on one of your lame college football games, with your lame tailgating and you will see clones of this image.
at least we don't wear our nuts on our helmets
OMG so fricking funny, dude you are absolutley hilarious, way to back up your lies with cheesy humor. You actually wear the memory of all your embarrassing seasons on your helmets, or better yet a mascot that is as unorginal as LSU and Auburn.
The only reason I wrote that original email is to offer a different opinion of this town, granted it is a whole lot better than Fort Bragg, NC where I currently live, but being in the Army I have seen a lot of the United States, and Clemson is full of racist WASPS, and yuppy students, and ignorant rednecks, and people trying to force their religion down your throat. You will enjoy the town if you are white, wealthy, and a little B&*ch.

Something probably happened that is making him feel that way. I've only visited Clemson twice now, but I can already tell it is a place I will be very happy at. Go Tigers!

actually my girlfriend attends your school, and actually is part of one of your athletic programs, and I have seen your school and town from all angles, full of gossip and backstabbers and crooked alumni giving handouts to your athletes. The good-ol-boy system is running rampant it that town, and pretty soon the NCAA will catch up with ya
