Furman Paladins Athletics<\/a> page. The purple popped out at me and I instantly knew I wanted to be a Paladin. I was so impressed by the facilities, especially the tennis complex. There are 13 outdoor courts and 4 indoor courts. This is more than most power 5 schools have. The coaches told me about the renovations that were going to happen each year which got me excited to be a Paladin.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
<\/b><\/h1>\nAcademics<\/b><\/h1>\n
While Athletics were a big part of the reason I chose Furman, the rigorous academics and highly talked about programs at Furman are what convinced me to come. Since I was not able to take an official visit, I did lots of online research on Furman and its academics. After talking to a few people and reading lots of websites, I learned that Furman was a top academic school in the south as well as the country. After getting to Greenville and starting my classes, I instantly saw why Furman academics are so highly talked about. The small classes gave me the opportunity to connect with my professors on a personal level which made it easier for me to understand the content I was learning. While the academics are hard, we are given all the tools we need to succeed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCampus and Student life<\/b><\/h1>\n
Furman is a lot more than just academics and athletics, it is one of the most beautiful campuses in America. Our campus has a variety of buildings which each have a unique purpose. My personal favorite is the Trone student center which is home to the PDen (formally known as the Pala-Den) where we can eat a variety of different foods like Chick-fil-A, Moe’s, Sushi, and more. Before coming to Furman, I researched the Furman experience and found videos on Youtube and social media showing student life. I was amazed with how many activities and opportunities there were to participate in on campus. Now that I am here, I am involved with multiple different organizations, and always have something fun to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTake care!<\/p>\n
