Diversity? Kinda, Sort of

This school is definitely highly populated with white kids. There are kids of other races as well, many of them on athletic teams. There is a range of economic backgrounds, although you couldn't tell by looking at everyone, all seem to put off the vibe they are moderately wealthy, money is not often talked about except by the people who flaunt it. Religion is popular but not necessary, it depends who one chooses to hang out with there are those who are not religious at all but it makes no difference. As for political views, Republicans run rampant, although the token Democrats exist.

Off-Campus Housing at Furman University

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.

No Spirt

No one stays at the football games past half time. Everyone dresses up and most of the people don't even wear purple.
