<p>Hi! Just wondering if anyone can tell me a bit more about the Summer Scholars program at Furman University? I just enrolled and was looking to know what it is like! Thanks!</p>
<p>I can not recommend it enough. My daughter attended as a rising junior in high school and loved it so much that she was a camp counselor for the program last summer. It is an outstanding way to become acclimated to college life. It is very well run with enough balance between academics and social events. If possible, a great idea is to stay for 2 programs, that middle weekend is a lot of fun.</p>
<p>When my daughter applied and was accepted to Furman, she found that she already had a built in group of friends from summer scholars. If you want any more specifics, please feel free to ask or PM me. Good luck!</p>
<p>That’s great to hear your daughter liked it! I’m from PA so not a lot of people have heard of Furman, let alone been in the Summer Scholars program so I am basically lost on what to expect! But thanks so much for your response (:</p>
<p>^ We are from Connecticut so my D thought it would be a good idea to spend time at Furman and see if the Southern lifestyle and students were for her and if a “Yankee” would feel accepted before she applied. It ended up being 2 of the best weeks of her life. I don’t think you can go wrong with your decision. Mock Trial is tough, good luck!</p>
