How beautiful is Furman’s campus?

It has been recently selected as one of the top 10 “Prettiest College Campuses in the World” by Delta’s Sky magazine, and listed among “America’s Most Beautiful College Campuses” by Forbes magazine and Travel + Leisure.

In its description of the campus, Forbes said: “Even if it wasn’t a college, the natural beauty of the lush South Carolina landscape, Asia-inspired gardens and sparkling lake at Furman University would be deemed postcard perfect. Add to this a collection of buildings as diverse as a former Buddhist temple, now called the Place of Peace, an environmentally sustainable show home, the school’s signature Bell Tower and some very fine examples of Georgian architecture and you have a beautiful spot to invest the next four years of study.”
