Here’s the link to HC page about setting up visit. I did it this way for my D and we spent some time talking with one of honors administrators and they arranged a class visit. http://schc.sc.edu/admissions/visit-honors-college.

Of course you can probably find a number for honors to ask some specific questions. I don’t know about admitted student day dates, but I think they all have separate break out sessions or something for honors students. You would meet some other students that way - my D ended up rooming with someone she met at a college weekend. There are a couple of walkable hotels, but if you’re even tentatively thinking of coming on admitted students weekend, I’d make some reservation now even if you have to cancel later or end up invited to McNair. Inn at USC and Marriot Courtyard are adjacent to campus. Marriot uptown and Hampton Inn are walkable but a little further. But they are in areas students regularly walk to so good to experience.

I would really say to rent a car. Public transport is not great although if you can get a one of close hotels listed above, you can walk everywhere and just get cab to/from airport but you won’t to able to explore Columbia much. There’s a fight now about Uber, technically illegal but still operating.

I’m sure you’ve checked the calendars, but do note that the week of March 10 is spring break so weekends on either end won’t give you a full look at campus.
