It’s conveniently located near the heart of campus with its own parking lot, so you don’t have to deal with the stress of finding a spot on campus, especially on busy game days. It’s also a great last-minute stop if you realize you need a new outfit for a Gamecock event or if you forgot something important for class!

Negatives:

The only downside is that it can get pretty busy on game days, especially when parents are in town looking for the perfect outfit for the big game. If you want to avoid the crowds, it’s best to plan your visit ahead of time.

Would I recommend:

Absolutely! I always take my parents and siblings here when they visit. The variety of products is great for all ages, and the convenient location makes it a no-brainer, especially if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of campus parking. It’s also super close to The Row, so if you’re nearby, it’s an easy stop to pick up anything you need without having to go far. Whether it’s last-minute Gamecock gear or a thoughtful gift, Addam’s University Bookstore is my go-to, and I’m sure it’ll be yours too!
