Albert Einstein's son lived in Greenville SC for awhile while working with Clemson in agricultural research. Albert came to visit and gave lectures at Furman university, which used to be located downtown on the hill next to the waterfall. Another one of his relatives was a student at Furman.

1. It's a driving city, but you don't necessarily need a car
2. Dallas is not just about oil and banking, we have arts and culture
3. You don't see the cowboys riding horses in downtown
4. Dallas has the country's largest urban hardwood forest
5. You can sail a boat within the city limits (White Rock lake)
6. It does get cold in the winter
7. It's not as affordable as you might think (real estate)
8. We're not all Republicans (Dallas is a Democratic city)
9. Longhorns don't roam the city streets and pump jacks are not on every corner
10. We're interested sports other than FOOTBALL (Dallas Mavericks; Texas Rangers; Dallas Stars; FC Dallas; )
Bonus: 11. If you drive 10 miles below posted speed limit, you have a death wish. Traffic light turns Yellow- means go faster.
Clemson is not really in the Greenville metro. It is pushing 1 hour to downtown Gville.
Clemson's MBA program is located in a building on Main Street in Greenville and the Clemson automotive research center CU-ICAR is located in Greenville as well.
