What Former Residents Say:
“Pick Furnald if you’re looking for a smaller initial community to help ease you into Columbia as a whole. Moving to the city was a big change for me, and so I was really looking for that smaller sense of community and family to ease that transition for me.”
“There’s really this great balance you can strike here interacting with your friends yet also taking time for yourself.”
“I would say you should pick Furnald if you want a very collaborative and tight-knit community that's really there to support you at the end of the day.”
