Choosing Furman was the best choice I ever made, because I think I am receiving the BEST ivy-league quality education without dealing with ivy-league snootyness. I love that Furman is a small school (about 2800 students) because it means that my professors know who I am and are more than willing to help me when I need it. Furman is a community, and it is an engaging community with scores of opportunities for personal and intellectual growth. ONe thing to keep in mind is that the academics are VERY challenging. Students who are not dedicated, intrinsically motivated, and hardworking will not get by here. At Furman, the focus is on education rather than on partying—of course that does NOT mean that nobody has friends or fun, in fact there are frat parties every weekend and many students go out downtown during the week and weekend. There is also a strong greek presence, but greek organizations are more down-to-earth, more intimate, and less snobby than they seem to be at larger state schools.

commentI also remember the years spent here with slight nostalgia. It was a great time for me.. I got the degree of freedom that I dreamed of. I began to communicate with girls and found rich sugar momma on a popular dating site. Everything became just a fairy tale after this meeting. Too bad we didn't become a permanent couple.
