Books are expensive compared to their online competitors. Good selection of unique Marshall gear, but again other local places have better prices like Glenn's Sporting Goods. The staff is all college students, and sometimes aren't as helpful or polite as they could be.
I am not a student, but am thinking about getting back into school and taking a class in spring/summer. So went to the bookstore to look at the CIS book subject area and start making a plan. The books are all being stacked purely alphabetically and not by subject. I had to walk around and try to determine where the computer science/programming books where. So a student can't look thru a book in their field of study and see if this class seems like it will be helpful or not in the coming semester. I like to physically look thru the book and see if it looks good and is it easy to read or not and think Is this class good or not for me? You can do that in any old fashion bookstore or even amazon by subject. So why is the bookstore doing the new system. Apparently students want this I was told, but none of the students working there seemed to know why this why of doing things was better. I don't think students were even asked about it in a vote or anything. Service was good from the students but I was a little offended by the student at the counter who seemed to be looking down at me and treating me like a child in some respects. But out of pure motives I think, she was attempting to do what was right by steering me to amazon. Unfortunately, I like to physically look at the book and see if it looks good before purchasing. You never know what the book will physically look like or read like from amazon. This poor review more in regards to management than student working at the store. New system seems stupid.
Clean, great atmosphere can find most of what you need. However, it's priced higher than other places in exchange for convenience.
The books are pricy but that is expected from a university bookstore. Staff is helpful.
Good for little necessities you might need on campus, like stationary, snacks, or even medicine like Tylenol. The prices are books are outrageous, though, and some professors will even tell you to not order from here but order online instead. But I guess the insane textbook prices are just to be expected anymore. The also sell tons of clothes and other Marshall gear but you will probably find the same items cheaper elsewhere.
