Furman University frequently appears in campus beauty roundups across media sources. More recently, Travel and Leisure magazine again includes the university in its unranked list of “25 Most Beautiful College Campuses in the U.S.” The magazine mentions the rich variety of plantings on campus in addition to the replica of the Henry David Thoreau cabin, Place of Peace, Asia Garden, bell tower, miles of walking trails and the 18-hole golf course, making Furman’s campus “as diverse as its student body.”
