<p>I know Furman very well and I agree that it is a fantastic school for someone that is not into the drinking or drug scene. My D has visited there several times and it is her first choice. However, the OP mentioned that her D is an atheist and I am not sure how comfortable she would feel at Furman, which does have a mostly conservative, Christian student population. That is why I originally mentioned St. Olaf, since the drinking scene there is limited by their dry campus policy and the lack of a Greek scene. The student body is a little less conservative, even though it is Lutheran. I have been to both campuses in the last 8 months so my opinion is based on that experience, not hearsay or what I read in the curriculum. The bottom line is almost every college will have drinking, so the goal is to find the one where the non-drinker won’t feel out of place.</p>
