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.”

"I loved the set up of my building, how small and not busy it felt. The building staff are AMAZING!"

"Furnald has a uniquely cozy and reserved vibe. Great for people who prefer socializing outside of the dorm and appreciate quiet undisturbed nights."

"I liked having a single in a quiet dorm, which was relaxing to come back to after a long day."
