Clarkson University Reviews
First, the SHEER OPPORTUNITY here is astonishing. The career fair is definitely geared toward engineering students, but I'm a freshman and I am ALREADY in a lab! So, there's opportunity for EVERYONE, regardless of your major.
I highly recommend being part of the honors program. They send you job/internship/research opportunities ALL THE TIME. We get to register for our classes DAYS ahead of everyone else (even seniors), AND we have Ben & Jerries Nights every semester (If that hasn't convinced you, there's also an extra scholarship you get with it every year).
I feel like people over-exaggerate how bad the food is. It has gotten MUCH better (so I hear). Cheel, Serve, and Concrete are good, but RoBro is normally not.
Clubs are super active. People love to ski, go to hockey games, hike, etc. Party scene is as active as you want it to be. Classes are no joke.
Overall, I love it here.
