lemson University has been recognized in the
Kaplan/Newsweek College Catalog as
among the top schools in the nation that offer the best value for your tuition dollar
and are academically challenging, among other attributes.
Perhaps more important
than those great qualities are the aspects of life that go along with living in a college town.
For more than 50 years, Sandy Liebman was a resident of Los Angeles, active in the
community in arts and education. Then, she followed her son and daughter-in-law who
had moved to Clemson from California.
Both doctors, they fell in love with the area as a
perfect place to raise children.
She agrees. “Driving the country roads is so much nicer
than trying to get through the mass of cars of the L.A. freeway,” Ms. Liebman observed.

ong before Thomas Green Clemson willed his magnificent Fort Hill plantation home and
farmlands to South Carolina for the establishment of an agricultural and scientific institution,
the Cherokee Indians called the Clemson area home.
Today, with more than 12,000 residents,
and another 17,000 students enrolled in the University, this is unabashedly a college town.
New is the University’s Learning in Retirement Program slated to offer a variety of programs
for area retirees.
Beautiful Lake Hartwell, with its 56,000 acres, virtually laps at the town
and campus, and whitewater rafting can be found a few miles away
on the Chattooga River ~ a wild ride for those who want the thrill of a lifetime!
The 80-mile hiking trail provides a chance to really take in the scenery, crossing
some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain around.

For Michigan retirees James and Verna Roberts, it’s the long spring and
summer seasons that are especially appealing.
“We’ve liked all the time
we’ve spent here,” says Dr. Roberts, noting that he and his wife enjoy
the many music programs (as performers and attendees), as well as the
sporting activities. “It’s only two hours away from Atlanta,” he says. “We
go there often, and that keeps us in touch with big cities.”
