Sports aside, Clemson University also offers its students many exciting activities on and off campus. Located on Hartwell Lake in South Carolina, students can enjoy sailing, fishing and swimming.

One great attribute of Clemson is that the university is a land-grant institution that conducts research for the betterment of the community. Students and faculty are involved in projects ranging from improving irrigation systems to lowering youth bullying rates in South Carolina schools. Talk about real-life application to what you learn in school!
