– Andersen Wade – As a freshman, I haven’t experienced much of the Furman Advantage yet, but I’m so excited for everything to come.

Why I Love Office Hours
– Andersen Wade – One on one time with professors can make all the difference in your class. Furman professors are so approachable and genuinely want to help you succeed.

Love is in the Air <3
Valentine’s Day is either a day you dream of or dread. It’s completely understandable either way. It’s never my favorite day of the year because of all the cliches, but it’s still something fun to look forward to!! Valentine’s Day this year seems a little different. There is so much happening on campus that just…

Living in a “Low-Contact” World
We can all agree that the way our world is right now is nowhere near ideal and no one loves the adjustments we have to make. I think we would all give just about anything to get back to the days when we can have concerts, hang out in larger groups, or even just walk…

Sorority recruitment was very different than normal this year. Usually we would all be on campus a week early and get to talk to different sororities to see where we felt most at home. This year, we were all still on break and had to adjust to a fully virtual recruitment. I was so nervous…
