College Decision Time!

Wow! I finally understand what they mean when they say that “time flies”! It was only a year ago when I was struggling with the big decision: which college to attend??? I know that so many of you are probably struggling with the same decision that all of us Furman students had to make, and I’m here to tell that it is totally ok to be confused and stressed! There are so many awesome schools out there and so many different programs and opportunities that it can all seem a bit overwhelming. That said, my name wouldn’t be Hayden Wilson if I didn’t tell you why I chose Furman and why I think that you should too!

First things first, Furman’s campus is really pretty… and by pretty, I mean extraordinarily beautiful! I feel like I’m constantly on vacation, and no matter what, I am always able to find a study-spot with a view. Another factor in my decision is that Furman’s music department is pretty awesome; the teachers are amazing and I have had countless performance opportunities in orchestra, chamber music, solo work, and even theater pit orchestra! Also, the music department has been fully supportive of my pursuit of completing the pre-med track due to the nature of the liberal arts experience at Furman. Last but not least, I am surrounded by a diverse group of like-minded students. We are all different, with different areas of expertise and interest; however, we all have the same goal: to be the best students and members of the community we can be. So far, everyone I’ve met has been so encouraging and genuine, and I am so proud to call myself a Furman student.
