New Furman parent here (daughter starting this fall '23). We have now visited Greenville several times due to music auditions, admitted student day, etc. Stayed in downtown Greenville in various hotels, all of which were great. If you have some extra time, I highly recommend renting e-bikes (or regular bikes if you are more athletic) and riding on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, which goes from Greenville to Furman to Traveler’s Rest. We had a great time doing that, stopping at the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery, etc. I did not know how close Greenville is to the mountains, especially close to Asheville. It has a great atmosphere, it’s beautiful, and we are all so excited to be spending more time there soon.
