The Furman University campus won praise in an unranked list of 54 U.S. campuses compiled by editors at Condé Nast Traveler. They highlighted the university’s signature Italianate bell tower and Asia Garden, among other features.

The Greenville City Economic Development Corporation ran with the news on Instagram (login required) and posted even more stunning photos of campus and accolades for how the university contributes to the city’s economic growth through its institutes and centers such as The Riley Institute, The Shi Institute for Sustainable Communities, The Center for Innovative Leadership, and The Hill Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They wrote, “Frankly, we’ve lost count of the number of parents who’ve moved their students to Furman and then moved themselves and their companies/careers to Greenville. It’s special here.”
