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"
The work load can be daunting.
The social scene revolves around Greek life, especially for girls. If you choose not to rush, it becomes difficult to stay involved and hang out.
