Describe your college experience
I had a very unique transition into Clemson University. Coming from the Northeast and not knowing many kids from the south, students may feel intimated or worried. I saw this as opportunity to meet as many people as possible from cities and towns I had never even heard of before.
Tip for future students
My best advice would be to put yourself out there as much as possible. The amount of different clubs and people you can meet at this school from all different backgrounds is truly amazing.
Favorite class
Financial Management 3110. great professor that really cared about his students and what he was teaching.

Matthew was very knowledgeable about all things Clemson. He was professional and kind as well. We received a tour of the business school, discussed classes, study locations, registration, internships, and clubs. We were able to view freshman dorm locations, cafeterias, and the library. We discussed the Greek system, how to meet new people coming from another state. We learned about sports including intermeural, club and school sports. We discussed attending football and other sporting events and enjoying the downtown area.

Fantastic tour. Very knowledgeable, outgoing, and good energy. Matthew engaged with our prospective student to understand his interests and cater the tour in a personal way. Would highly recommend!
