Furman University
- Off-Campus Housing

Not a Lot of Options Even If You Get Lucky

Off-campus housing is only allowed if you are married, already live within 4 miles of campus, or get picked in the lottery for seniors. Everyone else is required to live on campus. If you do get picked - there aren't many options around. There is some student housing right out the back gate that is pretty expensive. Otherwise there are some more affordable options, but honestly the area right outside campus isn't that nice - so those are older apartments that don't feel very safe.

None

Students are required to live on campus anyway. The only exceptions are to live with your family, if you have a medical excuse, to be with a spouse, or if you have a financial reason. However, I have seen plenty of people denied with a true medical reason.

I gave it a C because the Vinings is a good, Furman-owned option off campus. Only available to seniors though.

Off Campus Not Allowed

Furman Students are required to live on campus all four years, except with the exception of the very few fraternity members who choose to live in their Frat house (which only half of the frats have houses and they are not especially close to campus). Furman seems to be moving away from this however, and recently purchased The Vinings, which is a nice apartment complex, and is practically on campus. Seniors can enter the lottery to try and live there. The vinings is only slightly more expensive than on-campus apartments.
