Furman University’s hometown of Greenville, South Carolina, is often lauded in the media for its great location near the mountains and the beach and for its food, arts and abundant outdoor attractions. Greenville is in the spotlight again, making Southern Livings’s list of “25 Affordable Family Vacations You Haven’t Thought of Before.” The article mentions Furman in its description of the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail, a 22-mile recreational pathway created from a former rail corridor. The Furman campus is a popular spot along the route, which includes easy access to nearby towns like Travelers Rest, food and beverage venues, parks, public art, museums and more.
