Furman University Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

Melisa

The internet system at Furman is a bit wonky, but there hasn't been a problem that hasn't been resolved within a day.

The only thing that I can think of that frustrates me about Furman is the fact that it is small enough to where everyone knows everyone elses' business. It is like a small southern town where everyone knows everyone else and you can't help but know what happens to them.

It sometimes feels rather sectioned off from the real world. I often say that I don't live in Greenville, I live at Furman. It is it own community and it is easy to isolate oneself from the outside world. This can be great, becasue it fosters a sense of community among the students, but it also seals people into what we call "the Furman Bubble"
