Furman University Reviews
Furman is also full of opportunity. It is very easy to get involved and to get involved early. I've been given opportunities to conduct research, take on leadership positions, and study abroad that I would never have at a bigger, or more "prestigious" school.
The school is not without its share of issues: lack of diversity, social climbing, and neglectful administration to name a few. I can only speak on my experience, but I appreciate what Furman's done for me which is why I even write this review. I hope it continues to move in a positive direction.
