Bwog recommendation:

• Very quiet, very quaint. Nice if you like to study in your room and watch the sunrise over campus.
• The views really are something to celebrate.
• If you’re a rising sophomore, don’t discount Furnald! Those 10th floor singles are spacious and ever so close to campus (i.e., literally on campus).
• The lobby kind of makes you feel like you’re living in an old, fancy hotel.

Resident Opinions:

• “Overall, I’d say that I really enjoy living in Furnald. It tends to be quiet most of the time, which is really helpful for studying. Because most people tend to be so work-oriented, it can be hard to make friends at first, but if you’re intentional in pursuing relationships then that becomes a non-issue.”
• “Furnald is a great place to live in, you know, it is quiet, and clean, and there is AC.”
