Clemson is located in the Greenville, SC metropolitan area, which is widely recognized as one of the nation’s most attractive, dynamic, best-planned, and livable small-to-mid-sized cities. Asheville, NC; Atlanta; Charlotte; and Charleston, SC and the South Carolina coast are all within easy driving distance.
