Clemson University was founded in 1889 as a land-grant institution in the upstate of South Carolina. It was donated by Thomas Green Clemson, who willed his house and the surrounding area to the state of South Carolina to create a technical and scientific university. When it first opened its doors in 1893, Clemson was a military institution with less than 500 students.

Clemson University is comprised of five colleges: the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences, the College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities, the College of Business and Behavioral Science, the College of Engineering and Science, and the College of Health, Education and Human Development. There are more than 80 undergraduate degree programs.

Clemson is one of the best college environments in the country. Its just the right size and you get to experience the true southern hospitality of South Carolina. The social scene will provide something for everyone and during the fall a home football transforms the town. Everyone wears orange and shows their spirit. "Solid Orange It's About Pride." Clemson has one of the loudest stadiums in the country, had the largest "ESPN College GameDay" audience ever in 2006, The Tigers school the "lamecocks" at football, and Death Valley is where The Tigers run!!!

Clemson (n.) (clem-sucks)

Clemson, commonly pernounced Clem-sucks (for obvious reasons), is often described as an arrogant person and/or persons with very few brain cells. Whom without their sports department has very little, correction, nothing to offer. When Clemson fans find their neiche in the outside world (which most don’t tend to travel far) - they reside in sad little boring no-name towns in the mountains of South Carolina where there is nothing to do but watch football and marry your cousin. Being as football is the only thing that gives these primitive beings a reason to live, they obsess over the fact and become one of the most obnoxious and untollerable fans in all of college athletics. Their incredibly poor sportsmanlike behaviors have made them unenjoyable by all other colleges who unanimously dispise hosting the likes of their company every gameday.

Clemsonians, those on board with clemson(s). have a seemingly self-aware ignorance of their clemson's inferior, coincidental likeness of its predecessor. Clemson(s) tend to spawn from very stout predecessors that can carry them very far without having any origin.
