Campus Visit Notes for Furman University


Visit Description:

Our visit to Furman was good but they didn't really communicated to us any real distinctive about the University. The University is well-kept and the facilities are very nice. But it all seeded a little stale. I did not sense a real enthusiasm on the campus. I guess we left wondering why someone would pay $40K a year to go to college here. Oh and also, they left us with almost nothing to take back with us, while other schools offered us lots of materials to read when we got back home.
