Meals
Thursday morning breakfast will be provided in the Welcome Center lobby. All other meals will be provided in our dining common. The breakfast and dining common meals on Thursday and Friday are included with your registration.
Free snacks and drinks will be available on the motor coach.
Any food concerns (allergies, diet restrictions, etc.) may be directed to our Dining Common Manager.
What to Bring
For staying in the residence halls, bring bedding (twin bed), plus a towel and any toiletries you’ll want. While dressing casually is totally fine, you’ll mostly see business casual on campus during the day. You will want some casual clothes (T-shirts/pants/jeans) for evening activities. And you’ll want to make sure you have comfortable shoes for your campus tour. You may want to bring extra spending money for snacks or shopping.
Parents are welcome too!
We’d love to have your parents experience College Up Close too. They can attend events and classes right along with you plus go to a special Parents’ Q&A session.
If they need accommodations, let us know. Our Campus View Apartment rooms are available for half the regular price on a first come, first serve basis. Check out other accommodation options for discounted rates at these Greenville hotels.
Cost is $25 to ride the motor coach or free if you are providing your own transportation.
