- Hey guys! Hope you all have been doing well ~in quarantine~ today's video is about the Clemson dorms in hopes you helping you choose where you want to stay your freshman year! I tried to make this as detailed as possible, considering the fact that I wasn't able to physically show you guys everything I wanted to since we had to leave campus. On that note, feel free to comment or dm me any other questions you have that weren't answered here!
Here is how I personally rank the dorms:
Douthit (E, F and G)
Core(Gressette) and Core Honors (Cribb, Deschamps)
Holmes
High Rises ( Manning(all girl) , Lever, and Byrnes)
Low Rises (Mauldin and Barnett)
Shoeboxes (Benet, Cope, Greer, Sanders, and Young)
Also forgot to mention this but all dorms have washing machines that are free to use and study rooms :)

You can want what you want, but unless you apply in August to get accepted early, or are an honors student, you're extremely unlikely to get into Core/Holmes. Those are the first rooms to go.
Douthit is newer & the rooms nicer, but unless you're in the business school it can be a long walk to classes, which sucks when the weather is bad or it's really hot. Also the dining hall has limited hours/menu which gets old, fast. Imagine wanting to eat on a weekend but the dining hall is closed & you have to haul your ass to Schilleter.
The highrises are ok, views are phenomenal, but that communal living can suck if you have a problem with the people you live with. The bookcases are built in, so you can't rearrange the room. 4-10 flights is a LONG way to walk in a fire drill, or if you miss the elevator & are running late. Mauldin is just old, and spillover of frats/sororities can go there which can suck if you're not Greek. It can also be loud there.
People sh't on The Shoeboxes, but the location is great, especially for Death Valley, Little John & baseball. You also have a sink in your room, which is convenient if you just want to brush your teeth/wash your face; you don't have to go to the communal bathroom. Make sure to get into Benet, Cope or Geer, the windows are much larger & let more light in.
move in day is in 4 days, I haven't finished applying for housing, I haven't started packing, this actually helps tbh!!
Holmes is my first choice but now I have figure out my other choices because everyone and there mom wants Holmes this year
Clarissa Woody omg I bet!! That’s how it was last year
love this!!!
I’ve got many emails from Clemson I’m really considering. I’m a senior this year in highschool I’m so glad I came across this video!
LifewithIliyah glad you found it helpful!🧡
Did u reach out to them
Thanks! Now I know which one I want!
hiii! I'm an incoming freshman and Im living in Calhoun courts. any options about it? do you have any videos from friends?
Which dorms have single rooms and which dorm would be best for nursing students
this is so helpful! i’m deciding between holmes and douthit right now. does being kinda separated from the rest of campus have that big of an effect on the social scene? have you heard of people feeling “left out” if they live in douthit? it’s so nice but i don’t know if like how isolated it seems to be!
rebecca carlson yay I’m glad! And I don’t think so! It’s really not that far as it seems on the map. Plus a lot of people end up living in douthit so you wouldn’t be left out! Having friends in different dorms/ different sides of campus isn’t that bad since clemson has a walkable campus. Getting on the opposite side of campus takes like 10-15 tops
Keara Spencer thank you!
This is great 🙌
whoever’s room in core that was is so cute!!! #dormgoals 🤩😤
Grace Zimmel ANYWAYSSSS but thanks for the pictures!!💞
Do you have any friends that were out of state that came to Clemson? if so did they get full ride or pay the tuition? Because I’m really still debating on paying the full tuition
I’m currently working on submitting my deposit for my freshman year college this year, but even with scholarships, I have to pay around 35k for out of state tuition.
I’m hoping to live in Gressette next year and was wondering if you knew which rooms had the best view of the stadium?? I applied August 1st so I’m hoping for a good time slot
All the rooms that end in 40!
This was so helpful I definitely want to live in core ☺️
Iya’s Camera roll yay I’m glad it helped!
They put me in Douthit Hills I like it here
How early was your application submitted for you to get into holmes? Especially since housing is based on when the app is submitted. I just want to know my chances of getting the dorms i want lol
Morgan Hood I actually submitting my application later than my roommate and still got an earlier time slot to choose holmes than she did! I applied in November
Submitted* sorry
Super helpful video! Do you know if there are any kitchens/study rooms located in Manning or Byrnes?
Kristen Boaz yes they do have kitchens and study rooms!
okay the housing application is so confusing, what is a roommate group? and how do i make one? if i’m planning on living in manning do i still need one? THANK YOU!!
Abigail Anthis You can make Roommate groups of 4 people if you’re living in a suite, or groups of just 2 people if you’re living in a regular dorm. If you know who your roommate is going to be add them to your roommate group by searching up their username. Here’s a link that hopefully helps too! housing.clemson.edu/roommates/
so when you go to college you can pick your preferred dorm and you get a chance of getting it?
Yes you pick your preferred dorm and you’ll get is as long as no one else takes it!
this helped a lot but i was wondering what the dorms are like for sororities
Emily Warchol you can only live on the hall as a sophomore! I only got on our hall because some girls studied abroad and some rooms opened up. But I’ll be doing a tour of my room in the sorority dorm next fall
Clemson is my dream school but i live in Texas and out of state tuition is so expensive
MaryKate Krueger sameee 🥺
MaryKate Krueger I totally get that!! Luckily I live in South Carolina but I had to choose an In-state school to go to
same here from NY
My boyfriend is from Texas and we both go to Clemson now! He says it's so worth it!
It’s mine too but I live in England 🤣
Is Holmes a honour dorm
is holmes open for first year students? or just upperclassmen?
spooky link it’s just first year students
Do all of the dorms in gressette have windows like that? If not which ones do?
Haley Gonzalez no not all of them! Only the rooms ending in 40!
Angelina Perre you choose what room you wanna live in!
you are the best
Ellie Sim 🧡🧡💜
Are you aloud to live in douthit as a freshman? And how do you pick to live there? ❤️
Nikki Zoeller yes you can! And I didn’t live there I lived in Holmes
@@kearaspencer2218 How do you like the winters in Clemson?
I'm staying in the Shoeboxes this coming year lol. I'm scared now.
Anna's Life I mean this is my personal preference so you might like them more than me!! And there are good things that come out of every dorm so I’m sure it’ll be ok :) My friends that stayed in the shoeboxes had a love hate relationship with it 😂
Keara Spencer Oh ok. Hahaha we shall see!
Anna's Life it’ll be fun regardless
Keara Spencer I’m sure it will be!
I’m really excited about living in the shoeboxes in the fall! If you get the heebee jeebies while living there just hit me up and we could go get donuts or something! 😋
Hi there ! Myself Nikunj and I will be there as a doctorate student by fall 23. I want to get information and useful links for housing. Moreover, it will be also great for me if you could give me different types of suggestions to get the 360° success during my coursework. Have a great day.
first view first like😩
Rose Satriano 🥰😌😌
LEVER HALL REPRESENT😗✌️
Jamie Schweitzer 😫💯
I live in south carolina and everyone I talk to says the shoebox is great for freshman even though a lot of people diss it
Yeah all the dorms have something good about them and at the end of the day none of them are absolutely terrible! This was just my ranking of them from most favorite to least favorite! If u ended up with the shoeboxes it wouldn’t be the end of the world but most people Choose the other dorms first
Mauldin hall 5eva my home 😈😈
Ellie DeGroote I loved your room tour it rlly enhanced the video
Keara Spencer I’m a girl of the people, gotta help give out the best content!! Xoxo love these vids
When I was there Cope hall was a senior dorm. You all have it too good now. You should have lived in the cans. Now that was bad.
BRO WHAT
douthit parking sucks, only downside.
