Students say:
Clara has a very good sense of sisterhood. The women are open, encouraging, and enthusiastic. It's fun when there is loud music and dancing in the bathrooms.

We're a great group of girls. There is lots of diversity and fun, friendly women to be around. There are times for hall parties and times to just be girls. My favorite is the late night chats. For me, Clara is on the better part of campus.

Clara is really diverse with many different backgrounds coming together. We celebrate each other's differences and support each other. That's why I like our house. We really love giving to the campus and hold quarterly campus-wide activities that really give back to the community.
