space is an important part of living with another person. Some topics to address are study
habits, sleep schedules, items for sharing, items for personal use, visitation hours and
cleanliness.
• Encourage them to talk it out with respectful communication. Students should speak
openly and honestly about concerns and not let potential problems build up. If they need
assistance, an RA can help to facilitate a conversation between roommates.
• They may need to give each other space because sharing a room is a big adjustment
for many people. Even if they are best friends, spending a lot of time together takes
adjustment. Everyone needs alone time. Roommates often have different class schedules.
However, if they don’t have a natural break from each other, encourage them to talk about
creating one.
• Schedule study times and encourage them to let one another know when important events
(papers, projects, tests, etc.) are coming up.
• Not all roommates become best friends, but most naturally learn how to get along with
each other. The key to a roommate relationship is establishing shared expectations,
communicating with each other and addressing conflict when it occurs. If your student
feels unable to handle a situation with a roommate, Residential Living staff members are
available to assist them.
It is recommended all students living on campus acquire renter’s insurance coverage
or confirm coverage through their family homeowner’s policy.
RECREATION AND FITNESS
Campus Recreation
Through a variety of activities and experiences, Campus Recreation offers opportunities
for your student to live an active, healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. Campus Recreation
provides informal recreation and formal programming at three on-campus facilities: Fike
Recreation Center, Douthit Hills Fitness Center, and the Snow Family Outdoor Fitness and
Wellness Complex. Incorporating all eight dimensions of wellness into a student’s routine
is a great way to help manage the daily stressors of college life.
Fitness andWellness
Fitness classes are available for all skill and comfort levels. With everything from large-group
fitness classes to small groups and personal training, Campus Recreation has many options
to fit your student’s fitness and wellness needs. Formats include cycling, dance fitness, mind,
body, functional training, strength and cardio.
In addition, the Wellness Zone in the lobby of Fike provides a space to relax between classes
and learn about campus resources to help them be well during their time at Clemson.
CORE
Clemson Outdoor Recreation and Education (CORE) provides your student the opportunity to
enjoy outdoor adventures in and around the Clemson area. CORE adventure trips are a great
way for students to connect with their peers as they participate in exciting outdoor activities
such as whitewater rafting, rock climbing, hiking, skiing and more. In addition to adventure
trips, CORE’s rental program gives students access to the equipment and expertise they need
to safely enjoy a range of outdoor activities. New this year, CORE has a new home at the Snow
Complex; be sure to check out the Andy Quattlebaum Outdoor Education Center on the lake!
Intramural Sports
The Intramural Sports program serves as a great social and competitive outlet for your
student. Students can participate with or against their peers in various sports seasons
and tournaments. Intramural sports activities are designed to be inclusive for all Clemson
students, regardless of skill level. Therefore, students can find an opportunity to participate
whether they are looking for competitive leagues or more recreational events to relax and
have fun with friends.
PARENT TESTIMONIAL
“From our own experiences, we knew
the important role a roommate plays
in having a successful first year,
especially for out-of-state students
like our student. Clemson’s online
roommate personality assessment test
was extremely useful in finding a good
match. After selecting each other, our
student and their roommate continued
to communicate over the summer. It was
comforting to know our student knew
at least one person before arriving on
campus. Amazingly, they have a lot in
common, and we like the roommate’s
parents as well.”

PARENT TESTIMONIAL
“Our son came to Clemson as a
packaging science major. While he
loves being a Tiger for many reasons,
he would immediately tell you he
has immensely enjoyed the men’s
chorus and intramural soccer. These
opportunities provide a much-needed
break from the academic rigor.
Clemson has amazing opportunities in
the arts from classes to performing at
open mic night at the Barnes Center.
In addition, Clemson has numerous
intramurals for students. Encourage
your student to branch out and explore
extracurricular activities. Like our son,
they might find they truly value those
experiences the most.”
