My Daughter just got her acceptance to Clemson!!!


Feb 13, 2019, 12:57 PM

Now I have to figure out how to pay for it. The advertised cost for out of state is like $45k/year; is that about right, or is it better/worse?

TIA!

You should reach out to Carlsbad®, he may be able to help with the financing

Congrats to your daughter ! The price sounds about right, actual might be higher, transportation to and from home, pizza and beer, etc. The Tigers share of scholarship money understandably goes to in-state students. Our son loved his visit to Clemson, but after finding out how little scholarship money was offered he took a pass. We could have made it work, but he would have none of it.

Even with scholarships, our contribution, and him working full time, he had to borrow some to go instate. We know a family sending their daughter, now a jr, from out of state (she's never worked a day in her life-SMH). He recons closer to 50k. So a tip of the hat to those who can make it work. The best of luck.

I'm so thankful I was able to attend when it was still cheap.

I had 3 at the same 2. All three went to community college


Feb 13, 2019, 7:02 PM

stayed at home the first two years. They worked and saved and 2 are ChemEs from NC State and the other is Comp Sci from UNCC. Each had some help from the State some help from me all had internships and worked jobs and all had a few grand in loans which is really nothing with the jobs they got. Well the last one isn't done yet, but already has a great internship lined up for next summer.

That was the choice we made. Everyone is really happy.

if they just get a 30 on the ACT they get in-state tuition.

My son was just accepted as well. He also got into UGA and as much as it pains me he’ll be Athens bound. We live in GA and the scholarship money with the Hope & Zell make it a financial no brained. I’ve got two more younger kids to worry about college as well.

Go Tigers!

Here's some information on the cost: http://www.clemson.edu/admissions/undergraduate/costs-financial-aid.html

Those are current figures. The 2019-2020 costs are expected to increase an average of 15-20%.

Big congratulations! I know that’s a life changer when it’s official. Opens up their future before them.
Having said that, I just listened to a report on student loan debt. If she can’t graduate without a heavy burden of debt she’s going to have to pay off, I’d strongly consider other options. So many students can’t move forward in life with homes or even moving out because they can’t afford it. Be smart about it financially so her future won’t be in the red before she even gets started.
If you can swing it, go for it!

My son just got in as well. He loves Clemson, but he is torn between Clemson Business School and the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. I know his heart ?? is with the Tigers, but Indiana’s Business School is at the very top of the rankings. My wife and I would love to have both our kids as Tigers, but it is his call. At this point, more information is better than less. Very proud of him and will always love the Tigers no matter what he decides.

Congratulations to your daughter and to you. Leaving home for college is one of the greatest experiences in one's life, It's the first step in leaving the "nest" and it involves the entire family. It's also an emotional experience for everyone.

My oldest daughter was at Winthrop in the late 1960's and early 70's. She came home on most weekends but each week I wrote her a letter on Monday, just something short. On the return address I always had something related to a Society, such as "Society For The Elimination of Friday Classes", "Society For the Banning of Homework", etc. Her friends were always anxious to see the return address on the letter.
I think she has saved every one of those letters.

I was fortunate enough to go to Clemson with my best buddy in high school. We were both out of state and were also fortunate enough to have parents that each put up $5K for a down payment on a cheap townhome on Freedom Drive. We immediately got state driver’s licenses, and 12-months later we were citizens of SC and got onstage from that point on.

Combined with a Tiger scholarship for good grades, co-oping 4-times with a company in Greenville, and a pile of Stafford loans; Pretso!!! Clemson man!


It’s harder these days, but in seriousness the townhome option saved tens of thousands. Just gotta make sure you have a daughter who’s responsible enough for that approach.
