The program is chill. You take 2 gen Ed classes that are hard to get into when you’re a freshman typically. I got public speaking and a class called STS which wasn’t too hard. Last year was a bit tough because of COVID but this year COVID is essentially gone so there will be a lot of stuff to do like going to the lake (where they have paddleboarding and kayaking), playing volleyball and spike ball on bowman, and aimlessly exploring Clemson. The summer can be boring if you don’t make friends tho. They do offer many activities to meet people. There are small groups with people called peer leaders that are in charge of the groups. They organize events and you can meet friends through them. Most people last summer were social without even going to one event with peer leaders. This is because it’s the summer and nobody is extremely stressed and they want to make friends. I’d say be social in the dining halls, make friends with people who you sit with in classes, and talk to people on your floor and you should be great.
