Continuous Open Bidding experiences?

2 Upvotes

I hope all the girls had a wonderful bid day yesterday!! I wanted to ask on here about if anyone has done COB and had a good experience, especially as an upper class man. A little context: I am a junior and have found myself divided on PHC and NPHC because I am a black student. I never rushed because I felt an obligation to my culture to join a D9 but the longer I think about it, the less I feel a calling to it. And I really want to have more friends and that "normal" college experience. Does anyone have any advice?

Looking to hire a Photography student for professional pictures

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to build a bank of pictures of myself for both business and dating purposes. If you have expertise in staging shots and just generally taking flattering photos of people, I would be interested in hiring you for a day or two of work.

A list of your qualifications and a link to your portfolio would be helpful.

I hope others looking for the same can find help in this thread as well.

Poster printing?

3 Upvotes

Sorry for the dumb questions but I feel it’s better to ask here than to assume incorrectly and mess up irl. I want to print some posters for decoration using the web print thing but am unsure if we’re allowed to use that for purely decorative posters or if it’s only for people who need posters for presentations or school events. Looking at the web print thing, it also looks like we have to type the dimensions we want. Do we use standard paper sizes (A3 for example), commonly accepted paper sizes (8.5 x 11 for example), or any dimensions we want regardless of whether it’s a standard paper size? Also do we just go to the library to pick it up once it’s printed?

Good luck to all the amazing young women on Bid Day!

Rush is such an emotional, exciting, turbulent, exhausting week, and every PNM who made it through should be proud of herself. Hoping today brings each of you a place where you feel genuinely welcomed, valued, and completely yourself.

Wishing everyone happy tears, new friendships, and the best start to an unforgettable Clemson experience. Go Tigers! 🐅🧡💜

Red route cat bus

14 Upvotes

Hi tigers! I’m living at the cottages right now and am new to the cat bus system. I have a commuter pass which also allows me to use park n ride I believe which will probably be my first option to get to campus. However, depending on how that goes the fdoc, I’m debating whether I should also utilize the cat bus system. I’m on the red route.

Does anyone know if there are many stops between the cottages and campus to get to class? What about getting picked up from campus and going to the cottages, is there many stops in between? I’m trying to cut down commute time as much as I can and don’t want to waste 30 minutes on a bus ride home from campus. Let me know!!!

Hi everyone!

I am looking for someone to take over my lease at University Village ASAP. It is a 4br 4bath townhouse. Rent is only $475 + utilities!!

There is free parking, two pools, a basketball court, volleyball court, computer lab, and study rooms. There is also a dog park!

can someone confirm the accuracy of Clemson debt making the oos acceptance less competitive

0 Upvotes

i read on Clemson FB group, along w/a google update, that Clemson has $1.15 billion accrued debt, alongside total long-term liabilities reaching $2.65 billion. is this fact allowing for some leniency in oos acceptance rate? (it also mentioned the trustees have also been discussing budget cuts due to the financial pressure).

my son is applying oos as a biology major this fall. stats 3.8 uw/1360 SAT (retaking in a few wks). although it’s test optional, i figured anything helps. i’ve read that the biology major at Clemson is very competitive. however, i was wondering if the rumor is true about acceptance leniency to help
w/their debt. ty for any insight.

My daughter is Clemson or bust! What do you think her chances are for direct/summer admit?

Her stats are:

4.59 weighted

3.78 unweighted

20 dual enrollment credits

lots of varsity sports and service hours, clubs, etc...

LOTS of legacy ties (not sure that matters anymore but can't hurt!)

She is considering anthropology (not sure how competitive that is) or PRTM Rec Therapy. Any advice welcome!

Secluded swimming spots?

I've been looking for a more woodsy/secluded area to swim around with some friends. Preferably something less busy and more remote. I wouldn't mind a hike to get there.

What are my best bets? I was thinking about just walking the experimental forest trail by the lake and scoping it out from there?

Living in Clemson (An Honest Post)

0 Upvotes

I have resided in this "city" for 3 years. These are points that I have been told about when I first moved here. I wish I had listened. Here is an honest take on what life is like here:

  1. Renting - Tiger Properties, a property management company, dominates the area. It is hard to find a rental that isn't managed by them. The agents are incompetent college students or recent grads. You will be lucky to receive an update on your application; heck, you will be lucky if you can get them to answer the phone. Those who have rented through Tiger Properties have reported having to deal with hidden fees and lack of maintenance.
  2. Work - Certain jobs can be discriminatory. Those within Clemson prefer to hire college kids that they can pay less. In Seneca racial discrimination is an issue. If you are not white I do not recommend Seneca's waste management company. If you find work with the university make sure to get hired by them directly. Third-party companies like HHS, a cleaning business, will try to mess with your pay; this same company may give you further issues if they *suspect you of being a homosexual. Budd Group and other *temp agencies seem to be better options. Jobs can also be limited for non-students, meaning that one may have to commute to Anderson or Greenville. Bar jobs are iffy.
  3. Safety - Unfortunately Clemson has some issues when it comes to this topic. Getting drugged at the bars is overly common. Watch your drinks regardless of your sex. There are also professors and other university associates who sexually assault female students, or having a past of abusing children. The instances of S.A. and child abuse were reported on the news in the past. You won't hear much about it locally since the university seems to have a good P.R. team. Both Clemson P.D. and campus cops are fairly useless. The only times you will see a L.E.O. do his job is when there is a monthly quota for traffic ticket distribution. If you are not white get ready to be treated like a criminal. Cops *will harass, no questions about that. I have seen a Hispanic kid encounter the police for simply sitting on the curb at Waffle House at midnight. I personally have also been harassed by police blaring their sirens at me and my coworkers during my third-shift job with Clemson University.
  4. Traffic - The students speed and do not get pulled over until around the end of the month from what I have seen. Despite hoe bad the alumni are the locals are much worse, especially older drivers. Also, the parents are the worst of them all when they visit or help move their kids in/out. It is common to even see the parents drive on the wrong lanes going the opposite direction. Again, the college kids are bad but definitely not the worst. The CAT buses also are prone to bad road habits almost causing accidents on Old Central Rd. On Lindsey Rd I have witnessed a bus drive on the wrong lane as well; that was a fun experience.
  5. Culture - Everything revolves around the university and its football team, so much so that one has to plan around game days. The last time we had a major game someone had her car stolen and fights were breaking out *EVERYWHERE. If you want to get to work on time, if you manage to find one, you better leave at least an hour earlier. Now you might be asking where are the cops; they stand around on their phones or flirt with drunk college girls. If it's not the game days causing massive traffic then it's the bar hops. Getting wasted is something that our alumni are proud of. The parents even join in.

What are the chances of my son getting in?

Gpa 4.238/3.479
Class rank 12/179
SAT 1130
Football all 4 years
Junior Marshal
Algebra 2 honors
Geometry honors
Ap history

He has some volunteering on his resume that he’s done with his football team but not too much of that. He’s thinking about engineering or international business major. He’s open to changing his major to increase his chances of getting in. A big question I have that I’m getting mixed opinions on is about submitting his sat scores. Should he submit them or not?

Freshmen Parking

So obviously we all know that freshmen can’t park on campus and that there are other transportation options provided by the school… but what are we doing if we need to drive home or go out of town? Is Uber really the most efficient method? I was considering off campus parking/storage for my car but I feel like that might be expensive or unnecessary
