Introduction: Hey y'all! My name is Lucy McCardle and I am a financial management major from Columbia, SC. After attending Clemson, I hope to attend graduate school and pursue a career in Financial Planning or Accounting.
My advice for prospective students: My advice for prospective students is to find the school that makes you feel most at home. College serves as your home for four years and it's important to find a school that meets your needs while making you feel comfortable and supported.
My advice for current students: My advice for current students is to take full advantage of everything that Clemson offers. Get involved, make friends, expand your knowledge and comfort zone, you only have four years here!
Why I chose Clemson and the Honors College: I chose Clemson University because I grew up in a Clemson family and found that after countless tours at other schools, Clemson University is where I felt most at home. I chose the Clemson University Honors College because I experienced an interactive and smaller sized program within my larger public school during high school. I wanted to be a member of the Honors College to mimic this smaller program within my larger college setting, and have loved every minute of it!
