    The price may be daunting, but they are good about financial aid, scholarships and grants, so it is important if you want to go here to keep your grades up in high school! Their placement rate is high.

    This college gives you it all: opportunites to get involved, things to do besides parties on a friday night, academic help, and connections to companies for internships and co-ops. And its a very friendly community which means you work with each other to come out as top students rather than step on each other to get to the top (which means you also get experience working with others which is good for the job market).

    Like any college campus, the food and everything else sold in their stores is overpriced compared to what you would find at your local Walmart. Being a private technical school, the tuition is also pretty expensive, but for the education you receive and their job placement percentage, I would say it's well worth it in that respect.

    Most things on campus are very expensive. The University offers you a 500 dollar balance on your Knight card to use in a variety of places, but that will go towards your money that you owe Clarkson in the end. There are few places that I have encountered where you can really get a bang for you buck.
