– Andersen Wade – I know some siblings try to get as far away from each other as soon as they have the chance, but what I never realized is how many people have younger siblings with them at Furman! I have an older sister who is a Junior here and I never thought I…

– Andersen Wade – Looking back on everything I’ve experienced during my freshman year, the things I love the most are the people I’ve found. I know I was worried about finding friends before starting college because all I’ve heard is that the people you spend the next 4 years with will become your “life…

– 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.

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…
