I will be a freshman this fall at Furman and am trying to decide if Engaged Living will be a good fit for me. I find the available freshman writing seminars to be very compelling and the prospect of a tight-knit community to be very appealing but do have some concerns about the program. I have heard that some freshman feel isolated living in Lakeside away from all the other freshman residing in South Housing. Additionally, I am concerned that the “field trips” and out-of-the classroom excursions associated with the Engaged Living Freshman Writing Seminars may be too time-consuming.
I would greatly appreciate if any Furman students or parents could chime in on Engaged Living at Furman!
