"I chose Furman because it gave me the opportunity "I chose Furman because it gave me the opportunity to attend a school with great academics, play Football and be a part of the Furman ROTC program. When deciding between a larger university or a smaller one like Furman, I chose Furman due to its inclusivity, as well as the relationship I could have with my professors.
