Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Furman’s facilities offer a wide variety of services to students. The Physical Activities Center, or PAC, has a large gym with a climbing wall, indoor pool, and workout facility. While the workout facilities need renovation, most of the equipment is new. The student center perpetuates Furman’s reputation for having the atmosphere of a Southern country club. Picturesquely located at the banks of Furman’s lake, the student center houses the bookstore, post-office, copy-center, food-court, movie theater, and coffee shop. The typical scene includes students sipping their lattes and chai teas on the patio as the occasional swan scuttles across the grass. Just up the hill, glistening fraternity members recreate Top Gun’s volleyball scene on sunny afternoons as sunbathers recline on the lawn, smudging their textbooks with tanning oil.

Furman’s campus is known for its beauty. The lake, bell tower, rose garden, fountains, and traditional architecture create a picturesque and idyllic setting. The facilities offered are remarkable for a university this size.

Everything about Furman's campus is gorgeous, from the academic buildings to the dorms to the bell tower and lake. Just walking around campus alleviates stress and makes me feel blessed to be here!

Facilities at Furman Are Beautiful

All of our academic and student life buildings have been recently renovated inside but maintain a southern charm on the exterior. Furman is often recognized as one of the most beautiful campuses in the country with beautiful fountains, excellent landscaping, and a breath-taking lake and belltower. The Duke Library provides a beautiful and spacious environment for students to study and learn in.

Pretty Awesome

Everything at Furman is very well kept. They have a schedule in which they follow in terms of remodeling all the dorms and they do a fantastic job updating the dorms so they are not only green friendly but they are very open and modern. The three libraries on campus and the 24/7 study room really help when it comes midterm/finals time. Plus most of the academic buildings are open until midnight so that helps when there are group projects due and a quiet classroom is needed. The only downside is that the dining hall is very crowded around lunch time and finding a seat is very difficult and the music building is in need of remodeling. Other than that, things are fantastic.

Favorite Things To Do

Furman students tend to spend much of their free time outside, whether they are jogging around the lake, playing a game of Frisbee golf, laying out, or harassing the swans. Sometimes FUSAB (Furman University Student Activities Board) offers fun activities such as a comedian, concert, or free movie in Burgiss Theater. Also, the Tower Café is the place most people go if they want a more social studying environment.

On any given day, you can work out in the Student Athletic Center or the Recreation Center, go bowling between classes, play some arcade games in the Student Center, or chill out and listen to some music. For those of you who like being outside, there are the outdoor basketball courts by the Curran and Peters parking decks.

You can work out at the PAC, take a walk or jog around the lake, hang out at the Tower Café, play sand volleyball on E-field, watch a free movie in Burgiss Theater, or play golf on the Furman golf course.
