Your Guide to Columbia, the University of South Carolina, and ...

Where to Buy Books
There are three bookstores that cater to USC students:
• Russell House University Bookstore – first level of the Russell House University
Union; you can also use your Carolina Card here and a portion of all sales at the
University Bookstore go to study scholarships
• South Carolina Bookstore – 801 Main Street
• Addams Bookstore – 152 South Assembly Street
At all three locations, you can pre-order books and choose the rental option. Professors will submit
their lists of required texts to all three locations. You can also order your books from a website of
your preference such as Amazon or Half.com
Carolina Shuttle
Also known as “Shuttle Cock”, the Carolina Shuttle is a very helpful and convenient
way to get around campus. There are six different routes that make a stop close
to almost anywhere you would need to be. The each bus makes a stop
approximately every fifteen minutes, but you can track your bus’s arrival using
NextBus on a smart phone or on via the NextBus website on a computer. Each
stop has a map of the shuttle routes and we will provide you with a map as well,
