Around Furman
There are a good number of dining options around Furman, especially if you want to go downtown. There's a huge variety, ranging from cheap and quick, such as Cook-out, or very pricey and slow, like High Cotton. Ham House gives an excellent student discount, and Carolina Ale House is definitely the best bar.

A Mixed Review
If you're under 21 and not in a sorority, the options are dismal. Independents don't get the chance to go to many parties and a typical night is going out to eat and trying to find something to do. Once you're 21, downtown is a fun option. The Furman bus picks people up, so no real worries about designated drivers. I usually go to Clemson to get my partying fix.

Hard to Have Fun
Parties are not allowed. Seriously. Even the appearance of a party is strictly disallowed. This includes with or without alcohol. FuPo tickets, watches, and is generally unpleasant and shuts down a lot of social life. Not to say that students don't get around it, it's just not a typical college experience.
