Management very rude here. Disappointed with how I was treated. If YSU knew how their bookstore “boss” acted towards customers and students they would not be happy either.

There is no parking at the street entrance and my husband cannot walk all the way around from the parking lot. Sadly, we didnt even get inside.

The book store is very clean and staff is helpful, as well as friendly. The will honor Amazon pricing if the item is shipping specifically from Amazon. There is a Starbucks located inside, which makes great coffee and even smoothies. There are also areas to read and study if you need a space away from campus. This is a nice spot outside of the hustle and bustle of YSU. Sometimes the students working arent quite helpful enough but they are usually very nice.

What a great little known University. Wonderful leadership, a wonderful large selection of majors, AND AFFORDABLE. This school has greast facilities, a complete large University curriculum and will not break the family budget, or leave the student in debt for half their life . Get in line to experience this wonderful institution of higher education.

Lots of great YSU pride gear, items and clothes... a bit pricey for sure though. Staff is just that, staff, there is no service and rarely stop what ever non job related task there doing to acknowledge you. Also understand that this is NOT a typical Barnes and Noble it is selectively a school book store guised under the name B&N

I like the YSU variety of items and apparel. Books are not always too high.

Beware of return policy that will only give you a few days after the semester starts to get your money back. Also, if ordering online, they can change the price of the book after you’ve already gone through check out to a higher cost. So, if you’re one to shop around for the best rental or price per book and go with the cheapest route, avoid YSU bookstore because they can get away with changing the price. Safe yourself some grief and avoid them all together.

Very little school supplies or educational materials in this huge space. Over abundance of expensive commercial products.

Review №21

So to be clear, this is a campus book store. They sell text books, a few shelves of books, and more penguins merchandise than when Burger King kept pushing Happy Feet in our faces like it was suppose to be a box office hit. (No hate to Happy Feet. That dancing penguin made me address some serious childhood trauma. Thank you, Mumble.) But if youre looking for a legitimate book store, this place isnt it. I couldnt tell you if the text books are cheap because I disappointed my parents by dropping out of college with only one semester to go. (MUMBLE TAUGHT ME HOW TO EMBRACE MY DIFFERENCES, DAD!)

Beautiful building. Love the Starbucks, though I wish there were more comfortable chairs near outlets, I hate the barstools. Good selection of supplies and merch but everything is egregiously overpriced.

Good service knowledgeable people excellent selections quality products not enough parking police patrolling the area need to be more vigilant there are too many vagrants thiefs drug deals and problems in a close area to such a great addition to the campus and Youngstown as a whole after all the majority of the people who come here are from YSU and are the next generation of leaders they should not be having to deal with those problems
