    There are a few things to be aware of. There are not too many phone carriers that work well at Ferrum. The college put up a Verizon tower a couple of years ago, so I would definitely suggest switching to Verizon if you are not already a member. I am a Verizon user and I have never had any problems up there with my cell phone. The technology department is also working hard on improving their internet. Since the college has expanded so quickly, their internet servers are not able to meet the needs of so many new wireless students. They offer personal internet for each dorm room with an additional cost if you want to avoid the free internet that is provided around the campus. The free internet tends to be really slow in the dorms, but if you use it in the library or academic halls it usually works pretty well.

    Even though the school is a Methodist based college, alot of the students that attend the school have no affiliation with the Methodist Church. It is just like the average college where partying does take place on the weekends. If you want to avoid situations like drinking, just find the right group of friends and take advantage of hanging out with them while avoiding the parties. There are a just as many people who do not drink as there are that drink so you will be able to find somewhere to go if you need to avoid drinking.
