This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Different experience by jbrown_9999

For what it is worth, my friend's daughter went to Clemson, graduated in 4 years with engineering degree, had great internships, got hired by Deloitte, and is very happy with her choice. Not sure about her living arrangements all four years but she lived in a campus apartment for at least one year and really liked it. Saw the apartment when we went there for the ND game.

Some of your daughter's issue may have been due to seniors and juniors getting priority for classes ahead of her due to Clemson not recognizing her academic status as being 1.5 years ahead of a normal student. My son ran into that at a different state school since he entered with a year's worth of credits due to AP classes.
