I would say Furman is a school for the academically minded person. It isn't easy to get all A's, but the quality of education is great. t is a liberal arts school, so its not necessarily intended to funnel people into specific carreers, but rather provides a well rounded education. Most students are conservative, white, upper middle class, protestants, but it is not unwelcoming to those who don't fit that mold.

A student who is dedicated to working hard and very focused. The student should be ready to speak in class and be involoved on campus.

Someone with an open mind that doesn't mind if they need to spend the weekends in the library and not just partying.
