The campus of Furman University again wins praise in the media. This time, Southern Living magazine includes Furman among its “45 Most Beautiful College Campuses in the South.” The article mentions the university’s signature outdoor spaces and structures like the Italianate bell tower overlooking a 28-acre lake, Asia Garden, Place of Peace, Henry David Thoreau replica cabin and the “formal and balanced” design of the landscape.
