Mercantile Exchange

I frequently get my snacks and drinks here. However the most important thing that I have purchased has been scantrons. They offer a lot of different options and so far they have had everyone that my professor has requested. This has saved me with some last minute purchases that I have needed minutes before my exam.
For people that bring a lunch and need to heat it up you can come here to use the microwave.

Best place for drinks and food stuffs on campus. It does get crowded (there are 38 000 of us) but the line flows smoothly and the people working are super friendly. Great if you need to just grab a quick salad or sandwich and they are fresh and actually taste good! I suggest getting the matamoney card, you save 10% and it’s easy to reload and use.

This is the store that I frequent the most during my days on campus. Sandwiches, sodas, junk food galore, salads, and everything else you could want to eat. Along with that, they have school supplies, feminine products, and pain relievers. Cool.
One tip is if you are on a budget and you don’t want to pay 1.75 for a bottle of whatever, you can get a cup and fill it with ice and water and only pay about 25 cents. Essentially you’re only paying for the cup. Of course this tip is only for those who don’t mind drinking filtered water.

You’re at CSUN. You need a green book (blue books are so passé), a three pack of aspirin, non-​name brand trail mix and cheap name brand ice cream. What do you do?
Well, the first and most popular option is to throw a tantrum until the class you just missed has let out, rendering the blue book a moot point; the second, lesser known option is to just hop on over to the Mercantile Exchange to pick up whatever you might need.
I know, I know. It certainly isn’t as fun as throwing a tantrum, but this way you will at least make it to class on time with the appropriately colored book, thereby not failing out of school and subsequently life; you will also find that, in addition to ninety cent Push-​Ups, the Mercantile Exchange carries Xcellent Brand © Trail Mix and three packs of Tylenol.
So,
Mercantile Exchange = green book + ice cream + trail mix + pills,
and
green book + ice cream + trail mix + pills = a great way to spend your day,
so
Mercantile Exchange = a great way to spend your day.
Why only three stars, then?
The lines are typically long enough to go out the door; I guess that pills are pretty popular at CSUN. Whatever. Three stars.
