Furness College Description
What Furness College lacks in size it certainly makes up for in character. Whether via the infamous 15 Hour Bar Crawl, the messy end of year Extravs or our college bar Trevor (www. fb.com/FurnessBarTrevor) , you are sure to make lasting friendships.
Furness has consistently dominated all academic and extra-curricular activity since its inception in 1968. Its football, netball and bar sports teams not only dominate inter-college cups but also have produced some of Britain's finest athletes.
Details of our JCR can be found on our official college website (www. furnesscollege. co. uk).
