You don't think there's more to do in Columbia than Clemson? Now you're just being ridiculous. I was just restricting it to downtown but if you want to take this to the general area then there's really no argument, one of the cities has a top 20 zoo for instance..

Downtown Clemson has a few bars. If I'm a college student, and it's a Thursday night (one of the most popular nights for students to go out, in case you've forgotten).. I'm not driving to Anderson or Greenville to get wasted, and then drive back. Not happening. I know this, I was a student less than 2 years ago. "Right up the road" you say, more like 40 minutes. Yea, not happening. Good for a Sunday trip when your parents are in town though.

...and I'm pretty sure you were kidding about Anderson, South Carolina's nightlife... Anderson University students don't even hang out there.

From an outsiders perspective : Clemson is blah, much like Auburn. South Carolina at least has the really cool quad-like area, though the rest of it is kind of blah as well. I didn't think either was really all that much fun as a place to go out, but Five Points was better than the 3 bars Clemson has.

You "more to do" seems to be limited to more bars.

You don't have to go to a bar to drink alcohol.

lol at the zoo. How many times can you got a zoo?

If you can't find something to do in college with 17,000 other people your age, you aren't trying very hard. Clemson has nice gym, near a lake, golf course, mountains, nice downtown in Greenville, and plenty of other aciticites thru the school. Plus there is the studying aspect.

What can't you do in Clemson that you can do in Columbia, other than go to a zoo? You can in fact go to a bar in Clemson or Seneca, or drink alcohol at a party. Greenville has a small zoo by the way.

This is about campus beauty and in my view Clemson is the best campus in the SEC and ACC, not that the others are bad. I said SC has a nice campus for more urban location. It is also near some ghetto and industrial areas. A young lady enrolled at SC was shot by some drugged out guy in Five Points last year. She is paralyzed for life.
