Yes --- I live in Bburg but both my sons (and my D-in-Law) went to Clemson (we formerly lived in SC) --- anyhow, Clemson is a Land-Grant College --- much like VT without the big Drill Field in the middle of campus -- grads love CU and support their FB strongly --- Brad Brownell has done a good job of improving CU BB at a predominantly FB school --- campus is nice but not as nice as VT --- good academics in Engineering ---- try to eat at the Calhoun House just off campus --- very nice atmosphere and quality food
