What are the similarities & differences ?
Small schools both. We toured it with my daughter who is HS class of 2016. Wake is way more impressive and ranked higher quality-wise. If you can afford it or get some financial aid, Wake is a superior choice, but has a hefty price tag of $65,000 vs Furman which is around $61,000 (still hefty, but not as much quality as Wake).
Just finished putting 3 children through college. Wake, Davidson and Furman. For many reasons Furman is the best! The faculty is out standing, there willingness to create personal and encouraging relationships with student has no match. New president. Academics are outstanding. New president Beth Davis has Furman on expand national reach.
DougiefreshAy…Can you expand on the differences between Wake and Furman? My son is considering both for pre-med and can’t decide. What didn’t you like about Wake vs Furman. Any insights would be great…Thanks!
