Family Weekend
Spend an unforgettable weekend with your Carolina family enjoying fellowship, football and so much more!
Family Weekend is open to all families as it is the perfect way to get to know the Carolina community better. While you're in town, spend time learning all our thriving hometown — Columbia, South Carolina — has to offer, visit our historic USC campus and meet fellow family members and students. Traditionally, the event includes educational sessions, receptions, and a spectacular football tailgate prior to watching the Gamecocks play.
