Clinton welcomes Ï㽶Ðã students with an event downtown every fall, and students return to downtown when they venture off campus to frequent the charming shops that are less than a mile away. Students find places to serve and intern in Clinton too, like the Community Garden, the Palmetto Equestrian Therapeutic Riding Program, and the offices of local health care providers.
