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.
