What's the size of Clemson University?

I'm curious about the size of Clemson University. How many students are enrolled, and does it have a big or small campus feel compared to other universities?

8 months ago

Clemson University is categorized as a medium-to-large size university based on the total student population. For the 2024-2025 academic year, Approximately 25,000 students are enrolled, with about 20,000 being undergraduate students and the rest being graduate students.

In terms of campus size, Clemson encompasses about 1,400 acres with the main campus located in Clemson, South Carolina. It certainly offers the feel of a spacious, traditional campus with plenty of outdoor space and historical buildings. However, the sense of big or small campus feel can be subjective and is often based on personal perceptions and experiences. From what I understand, many students report feeling a sense of community and the campus has been described as having a "small-town feel" despite its larger size, largely due to the close-knit community and camaraderie among students.

Compared to other universities, it might feel 'bigger' than a small liberal arts college, such as Amherst or Williams, but 'smaller' compared to some state flagship universities that can have up to 50,000 or more students, like Ohio State or University of Texas, Austin. It could be helpful to visit the campus if possible, or to take a virtual tour online, to get a more accurate feel for the campus dynamics.
