Furman University

Picturesque you say? Quaint? Quintessential college town? Don't let some of these reviews fool you! FU is located along a mosquito infested swamp built to cover up a landfill. Fine, there is one beautiful tower building, but one building does not a college make! For those who have gotten tours, did you realize their failure to mention or show you dormitories? That's because there aren't any! Everyone piles into the one tower-like structure that exists on campus to give you that 'beautiful' water view. And, let's just say that the campus is extremely proud of their 'lake.' The PE requirement is often fulfilled by completing some sort of water aerobics in the swamp as well as the classic game of 'pick up the shoe,' which involves students swimming to the bottom and collecting old shoes. The individual who collects the most shoes is the winner! Of course the fun doesn't stop here, as there are often movies on the lake, lake concerts, and of course skinny dipping but let's just say it's more like fat dipping. In fact, the university must refill the lake weekly after students jump into it. This often appears paradoxical to those on the outside and inside for that matter as the culinary options here are scarce and students are often tempted to engage in cannibalistic activities in order to stay alive! All I can say is stay awake and stay alert!

Mashed potatoes and gravy? My ass! I don't think they serve more than pickles at this rat's nest. Fried chicken once a day for a meal? Yes, that's after you've spent four years in this dump, after which you get the privilege of gaining access to the delectable poultry. Admittedly, the food is not a selling point. So the professors are, you might wonder. Well, the truth is they are not! That is unless you aim to learn more about human sexuality! Oh yes, student-teacher relationships are not only permitted but they are often required for class. Rumor has it that lectures often consist of group activities. Additionally, inspired by the running of the bulls in Pamplona, professors and students here often engage in 'the run.' Professors often require students to rip off their blouses, burn their undergarments and run nude throughout the campus, for days without showering or sleeping. Those who fail to do so have the option of being whipped by donkey tails or doing a series of naked cartwheels in the fountain. I guess the only thing to say is that if this sounds of interest for you then I guess this is the school for you. Otherwise, watch out, be clear and prepare to march in the nude. Gitchy gitchy ya ya whooopeeeee!
