The Greenbelt Engaged Living Community (cabins by the lake) is a residential living-learning community intended to foster sustainable living and lifestyle choices among its residents. You will be part of a close-knit community where residents aspire to live a more sustainable lifestyle and gain a better understanding of their own impact on the environment.
As a resident in our community, you’ll gain invaluable lessons about collaboration, initiative, and experiential learning. You’ll work closely with your classmates to develop innovative ideas that will lead our campus toward a more sustainable future.
If you’re passionate about reducing your environmental footprint and advocating for positive change, our community is the right fit for you.
Community Expectations
To be an active member of our community, we expect our students to meet the following:
- Support the mission of the Greenbelt Community.
- Enroll in and actively participate in the Greenbelt Community academic program (SUS 200 in the fall and SUS 201 in the spring).
- Embrace the concept of sustainability by learning about and exploring sustainable living practices.
- Become a leader and champion for sustainability at Furman.
- Meet regularly with fellow residents to help foster and develop an intellectual and residential community.
- Attend Greenbelt Community-sponsored events.
If you are unable to meet these commitments, you could potentially be dismissed from the community and relocated to one of Furman’s other residences.
