but that's only a temporary solution.
Some attorneys are about to cash in. There will be countless lawsuits filed over this.

Did they happen to put them at the Clemson Marriott? Looks like they may not be out by the A&M game.

I like how they took a picture sideways to make it look

really bad. The article says 2" settlement, which is bad, but that picture looks way worse.

Whoever was in charge of soil compaction testing...

and the installation of the footings and foundation is probably a very unpopular right now.
I hope their insurance premiums were paid-up.

I think they resolved the issue - I know a few students living there this year and they will be in Earle as expected.

It's only a portion of the building not the entire complex.***

What stuck out to me was that these people are paying a grand a month to live there. Does that include utilites. I attended Clemson in the early 2000s and I stayed in several off campus appt and a house. The most i ever had to paid was a little over 400 including utilities and i thought that was expensive at the time.

Are they using their student loans to pay for this exorbitant luxury housing? And people want student loan debt to go away? Are you kidding me?

I stayed 3 semesters in Tom's Trailer Park, for 75 dollars a month and drove a 68 chevy corvair to deliver pizzas while I was at Clemson. Oh my the stories that I could tell.

Johnstone and a $180/month run down apartment for me in the early 80's. I was perfectly happy. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

And that $180/month was split 4 ways.

across the bridge towards Seneca.
I have one senior at UNCC in Charlotte and my two daughters just graduated from State. Raleigh was about $600/month and Charlotte is about $700/month for average off campus housing. That is per room with 2-4 rooms total per apartment. $1000/month is about right for fancy schmancy housing.

There’s plenty of apartments in the area. I’d be signing a lease elsewhere. Anyone waiting around for “someone” to do something is foolish. .
Of course the available apartments are older, probably farther away and they may even have to share a bathroom...I don’t know how they’ll survive that.
Personally I’d be looking into on campus housing

buildabetterclemson.com started to eliminate cheaply built housing.

And to protect Clemson from becoming a concrete jungle.
Property owners are disgusted with the overgrowth that will lower property values
