Things To Do in University of South Carolina

Other than nights out on the town, you’ll find that USC offers lots of great things to do on campus. We’d say that the best way to do as much as possible during college is to get involved with the student organizations on campus! From USC’s campus recreation club to its vibrant sorority and fraternity culture, you’re sure to find a crowd that suits your individual style.

Want to get away from it all? Feel free to rent camping equipment (tents, lanterns, sleeping bags and more!) from Student Activities if they feel like taking a hike and leaving town for a bit. You could also check out the Riverbanks Zoo, the South Carolina State House, the Congaree National Park and many, many other local attractions. The only one limiting your adventures is you, so make the most of your time while you’re here!
