They keep you safe and will drive you back to your dorm from the library or Einstine's, but they are super annoying about parking and give out really expensive tickets.

Nothing that's great, comes easy.

Furman is hard academically, harder than most people recognize. But the teachers are great- you can meet with them anytime, they want to help you out, and most of them are able to recognize effort especially since the classes are smaller. Furman has the best facilities, the nicest classrooms and equipment. Also, the school will pay for any tutoring you need. Furman is hard but every grad school and most companies out there know it. Furman students are more prepared than most college students going into jobs and grad school. The school will pay students for research that they do on campus and will also pay for any internship that you get, even if its at another company so that you are more likely to be hired- because the school will pay your salary rather than the company. They want their students to be educated in and outside the classroom.
