<p>I'm interested in hearing from a student at Furman.
My daughter has been accepted there in Music. We are seriously considering Furman...it looks like it would be a wonderful place to study.</p>
<p>However, I have a couple of concerns/questions. I'd be grateful for some thoughts from a student.</p>
<ul>
<li>My daughter is the "arty" type. Very unconventional (likes to wear black-- not a Goth, tho), draws, writes fiction, is a musician, rides the unicycle. Not the girly type. </li>
<li>She has spent a lot of time around adults, particularly academic types. </li>
<li>Has conservative social values, but progressive political values. Liberal - very. </li>
<li>Is definitely not the sorority/fraternity socializing type.<br></li>
</ul>
<p>What can you tell me about the student body at Furman that will help me evaluate whether she would fit in and find friends, or would be too much of an outsider.</p>
<p>Thanks a million.</p>
