Clemson is in the middle of nowhere, but has a beautiful campus and outgoing undergrad community (they are big into sports). There isn't much to do in the town; couple of bars and mom and pop type places. Mostly there are just house parties going on and nothing as far as culture. Athens isn't exactly close, a couple hours. Greenville, SC is about 30 minutes away and has a lot more to do. Clemson is situated on Lake Hartwell, which is really nice. The campus is convenient to the mountains, but a car is definitely needed if you want to go anywhere outside of Clemson.
