Life at Clemson University

It's hard not be indecisive when choosing what you want to eat or where you're going to drink next. That's why College Avenue can be the one stop shop for you. Take your parents out for a nice dinner and minutes later you can throw down with friends with a recovery breakfast the next morning.

We have a list of noteworthy places we believe you should try.

• TD's
• Tiger Town Tavern
• Mellow Mushroom
• Pot Belly Deli
• Sardi's Den

It's rumored you cannot graduate Clemson without stopping in at Mac's Drive In. We're sure you won't be disappointed with the food and for graduating after visiting Mac's. Late night breakfast food or even in the morning, either way, the 24-hour Huddle House is clutch.

You don't have to venture far for the many Clemson University running and biking trails.

• Short Dyke Run -Distance: 3.88 Miles
• Campus 5 Mile
• YMCA Loop -Distance: 4.2 Miles

We don't want to give away a good spot, but some have troubles finding a nice beach on Lake Hartwell. There is a lot of foliage around lake Hartwell which makes it so beautiful but you may find a clearing at Y Beach.
