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.

UGA didn't even have a engineering program until recently, which is lame for a large state school.
Georgia Tech, historically, is our engineering program.

Georgia Tech is your rival? You just concede engineering to your rival? lol
I don't understand why G Tech has anything to do with UGA.
Google in Images "Athens Georgia mill town". You'll see.
UGA gets hyped up because all the rich atlanta kids go there.

Your argument that you have to be 21 to get in a bar tells me all I need to know about your position on this argument.
Posted on 2/4/15 at 6:52 pm to SummerOfGeorge
ok, don't you have to be 21 to get into bar? I don't think it is worth getting a fake id.

that's a weird looking guy.
I hate that arch at UGA. What is the point of it?
From Wikipedia: "An arch is a structure that spans a space and supports structure and weight above it"
I thought somethign was missing with UGA"s arch. lol

UGA has existed long before Tech. Tech was founded in half-part by a UGA grad in the post-civil war reconstruction era in an attempt to educate and bring up mechanical engineers needed to rebuild Atlanta and the rest of the South. Hence both schools exist under the same University System (unlike Bama and Auburn, for example).

I see some old black and white pictures and buildings not in Athens.
Otherwise, Athens is widely considered to be one of the best college towns in America due to its music and arts scene, extensive bar scene, and access to Atlanta as well as the north GA mountains and rivers. But, sure, mill town if you want to remain willfully ignorant.

It gets hyped because it's very good academically, the first public university in America, and (combined with the surrounding town of Athens, which was built specifically for UGA) is pretty damn beautiful

The music scene thing is overstated. i don't care about live music though, they ripping people off in my view.
Athens if far from the mountaains. It is like 45 minutes east of I-85. Clemson is right at the base of the mountains.
I think the bar scence is what impresses most people about Athens.
I think UGA and Athens are ok but just overrated. Athens seems more built up than I would have thought. Almost felt like I was in Columbia or something rather than a pastoral college town.
If I grew up in Georgia, and wanted to do engineering in the 90's, I guess my only choice is G Tech, or pay a lot to go to privat uni Mercer with no football program? That sucks.
I was born in Waycross. Good thing family moved to SC.

neighborhooda like Normaltown, boulevard, 5 points Etc is what makes Athens a beautiful and awesome place to visit And live whether you're in college or not
Clemson is way too small

Clemson is too small, after college. Dont' see how you can say that for students though. It is 17000 kids your age there while in college. I def. had more to do and more people to do it with than I do as an adult living in G Vegas.
Clemson = quaint
Everytime I read some PR stuff about Clemson, it says "Clemson is nestled" near the mountans and a lake, etc. You'll never hear about UGA being nestled.
That arch disturbs me. Seems out of place. It needs to support something. It is like a fish out of water.

Belmont should have been in there over some of the ones listed.

Have they ever been to Samford? I honestly can't take a list seriously that has Samford in the top 25. There is nothing bad about the campus, but it is extremely average.
I was surprised about that, too. I live near there now and I visited the campus on a beautiful Spring day just to check it out. It was a nice little walk but the campus didn't strike me much at all.

Comparing Clemson to Athens is like comparing apples to oranges.
UGA made Athens but Athens has grown tremendously over the past couple decades. Population = 120,000
Clemson hasn't grown for shite and is about the size of Watkinsville. Population = 14,000
ETA: and nobody asked you to like the Arch. Regardless of your opinion, it is still an icon and symbol of the University of Georgia. I Dont think Clemson has anything in comparison.

Yea, Clemson should be compared to other flat, small engineering campus..............
Georgia, Alabama and Ole Miss are the 3 most similar schools in the conference. I like Alabama and Ole Miss' campuses the best, but Athens is by far the best town (though Oxford is great too).
