If you only have time to visit one college campus while you’re in South Carolina, then Furman University is the place to go.

That is the recommendation of FlipKey.com, the vacation rental company of travel site TripAdvisor, which compiled a “list of one college or university per state and the one attraction on campus that make that institution a must-see.”

Furman was the South Carolina institution selected for inclusion in the “Top Campuses Worth Traveling For,” which featured the one “must-see” college or university in each state with outstanding architecture, history and beauty.  Furman’s Bell Tower received special mention as one of the school’s “most beloved landmarks.”

The recognition for the Furman campus is nothing new.  In recent months, BuzzFeed listed Furman as one of “10 Uniquely Stunning College Campuses from Around the World” and “41 Scenic College Campuses That Were Made for Instagram.” Other honors include being listed among the 50 prettiest U.S. college campuses by “The Best Colleges” website, the top 10 “Prettiest College Campuses in the World” by Delta’s Sky magazine, and “America’s Most Beautiful College Campuses” by Forbes magazine and Travel + Leisure.

The Furman campus is open to the public.
