Best Answer

I went to Clarion. It's a nice little, rural campus. 1. Depends on your style. Wilkinson and Nair are real experiences, and they're not far from the Business building. Personally, I wanted it a bit quieter, and lived in Balentine. 2. Nightlife is sparse, outside of University type things. i.e. there are some excellent Frat parties, or you can go to a local bar. 3. My favorite was kicked off campus and dissolved when I was there, so. . . 4. I enjoyed it because the town is so small, and it's easy to study. At the same time it's not pretentious.
