There are many reasons to consider Clemson University the best place on earth. Being apart of this community for only a few short months I have already learned so much about who I am and who I want to be. I have the most amazing friends who continue to challenge me both physically and mentally. I have been provided the opportunity to gain a higher education in the best school in the state. And I am surrounded by people who show nothing but pride in this school. What more could I possibly ask for?
1. I'm proud to be a Tiger because of the academics.
Each day is a challenge and I could not be more content with that. Being at a school that keeps you on your toes should be a requirement. If you don't feel this way then you're at the wrong school. The professors here are incredible, it's hard not to get the information or help you need. Clemson has done nothing but promote success in my academics which encourages me to take it further in being successful in life.
2. I'm proud to be a Tiger because of the beauty this place holds.
Every corner you turn you are bound to be in awe with the beauty this place holds. There is never a dull moment here, I still am discovering new places both on and off the campus itself. There are approximately 1,400 acres of the campus, including a lake with a beach, as well as gardens and hiking trails. Can you say the same about your school? Probably not.
3. I'm proud to be a Tiger because of the extracurriculars.
There is plenty of things to get involved with outside of school from greek life, intramural and club sports, to various organizations and clubs. Students here are encouraged to get involved, and when you go to a school as amazing as this one, why wouldn't you! I have come across so many different, yet equally amazing people, and hope to only meet more and make friendships out of them as well.
4. I'm proud to be a Tiger because of our football team.
After all we are the new national champions! However that is not the only thing to be proud of. This team has proven their greatness. They give each and everyone of us hope not only on the field but off the field. So many things can be taken from their passion, their drive, their motivation and be given to the students here and applied to our daily lives. They make comebacks, they learn from their mistakes and allow the set backs to make them stronger. They inspire students as well as fans and that is so important for a team and student body. It truly brings all of us together, that's what makes Clemson not just a University, but a family.
5. Lastly, I'm proud to be a Tiger because of our pride.
Here at Clemson we take pride in everything. It's not just game days when the school spirit is shown, it's an everyday thing. Walking on campus you are bound to see plenty of orange shirts, or hear a "Go Tigers!" There is not a single place on this earth that could possibly have more pride than we do right here, and that is something that will always be so special to me.
