There’s Something In These Hills….

As I’m sure that most of you Clemson faithful out there already know, Clemson just received some great national recognition in the prestigious Princeton Review for many of the things that make it the special place that we know and love.

These are the categories in which Clemson is ranked and the ranking:

1 – Happiest Students
1 – Jock Schools (popularity of intercollegiate and intramural sports)
2 – Town-Gown Relations
6 – Best Quality of Life
7 – Best Athletic Facilities
7 – Students Pack the Stadiums (intercollegiate sports are popular)
8 – Best Career/Job Placement Services
8 – Everyone Plays Intramural Sports
20 – School Runs Like Butter (administration gets high marks)

The rankings in “The Best 368 Colleges Guide” are based on surveys of 120,000 students from the past two years.

Disc Golf Course Map

For anyone who has spent many nights playing, swimming, and looking for discs on the legendary unmarked on-campus disc golf course, I have added a map of the course to the site. Check it out at the links to the right.
