The Furman vibe

Hey everybody! Can anyone tell me about Furman’s overall feel (socially, politically, etc.)? Does it feel super southern? Is it one of those places where everybody wears pearls to class? I visited once without students there, and I’m going to visit for one of the accepted student days in April. I’m just wondering how I might fit in.

It is not super preppy or Southern .

No, it’s not super preppy - pearls and all. Girls are dressed somewhere between neat athletic wear to casual skies, dresses or shorts. Boys about the same. Not a lot of girls wearing shirts above belly button but all quite stylish . I think the social life looks great - greenville was awesome. Politically not sure but i suspect leaning towards conservative. I met many people, tho, who were not and did not feel set apart in any way. Great place.
