– Andersen Wade – As a freshman, I haven’t experienced much of the Furman Advantage yet, but I’m so excited for everything to come. I’ve heard of all the amazing opportunities and I’ve even seen it in action. So many upperclassmen have talked about their exciting trips abroad, internships, or research that helped develop their…

– 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. That’s one of my absolute favorite things about Furman! I know I can turn to my professors and let them know about anything I’m struggling…

Coming in as a freshman, you have no idea what classes to take, what your next 4 years will look like, and some don’t even know what to major in yet. Well, the good thing is everyone has an advisor to guide them through the process from the very beginning! No need to worry if…

Is there anything better than a college that has some of the best connections with places all over the local city? I don’t think so. Furman is so well known around Greenville and it has the best reputation. We have so many connections with businesses all over Greenville and they always help Furman students succeed…

Day adventures with friends are always some of the best memories. I know I’m always looking for fun things to do around campus or maybe even “secret spots” that no one really talks about. Some of my favorite places are right by campus and it makes my day so much better to get outside to…

Chick-fil-a just a few steps away from my dorm room?? YES, please! Furman has some of the best dining options so whether you’re craving some sushi, a chicken sandwich, a stack from Moe’s (HIGHLY recommend), or vegetables and chicken, they’ve got you covered. Our dining hall has different options everyday, but a constant I always…

I’m a little biased, but I think Downtown Greenville is one of the best places ever. I’ve grown up here my whole life, and one of the first questions I always get is “What’s your favorite restaurant downtown?” It’s so hard for me to pick just one! There are so many options downtown and all…

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…

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…
