Several colleges and universities have “kissing benches” or similar traditions tied to romance on campus.
Michigan State University Beaumont Tower: Nick and Myra Kanillopoulos
Syracuse University. Kissing Bench: This bench on the Quad is steeped in tradition. Legend has it that if a couple kisses on the bench, they will eventually marry. Conversely, if a single person sits there alone, they risk staying single forever.
University of Idaho. Hello Walk and Kissing Rock: While not a bench, this area on campus features a large rock where students have historically kissed. It’s a romantic tradition for couples at the university.
Florida State University Kissing Bench
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Clemson University Lover’s Lane
University of Cambridge: St. John’s College Bridge of Sighs
University of Oxford: The Bridge of Sighs
University of Bath Somerset County: Sham Castle
