BYU Bookstore

We love this place. It is not just a place to buy your school books, but to buy some fun gifts that you can’t get anywhere else. Great selection of fan gear and a small department for clothes. Fun candy store and great place to get printed photos etc. For a store this size, they have a great variety. I remember how much I loved this place when I was a student. It was even more fun to visit when I had children attending BYU.

Great place with tons of BYU stuff. My only issue is they close at 6. Making it almost impossible for some people with jobs to get over there. Super frustrating.

For Textbook Sell Back, They only give you back 10% off what your textbook is worth.
Just sell it online or to friend.
You will be able get so much more for it, but it will take time.

All campus book stores are expensive. This one at least comes with awesome customer service, a great atmosphere and no Sales Tax.
I read another review from someone that complained that Sales Tax had something to do with FAFSA and federal taxes… It’s unfortunate that whatever level of education the review has didn’t help them understand that Sales Tax is a State/​County issue, primarily used for education spending. Why can’t we be grateful that people who help support student jobs and paying for parts of their educational experience don’t need to pay more taxes?
If you can finder cheaper BYU swag online or at Macey’s (another great Provo shopping venue:), then go for it! If you want a fun part of the BYU experience, pick up some fudge and enjoy every pricey morsel :)

This is now called the BYU store because they have so much more than books like… overly priced chocolates, overly priced baked goods, overly priced posters, overly priced… you get it right? should i continue? no you get it? its overpriced. i think ive made my point.
Great customer service because if you get more than 2 complaints your ecclesiastical endorsement is revoked… or so I’ve been told, just to protect myself from a libel suit. so yeah theyre quite nice.
The cool part is you don’t have to pay tax if you are a student… which if you get FAFSA is like the biggest F U to all the citizens who do pay their taxes. Listen I know you are funding my education but… I do not want to help out at all. You hate welfare… when you yourself are kind of using it. soooooo shut it.
Whoa when did this get so political. Anyway… if you arent a student at BYU why are you here? you shouldnt be… walk away as quickly as possible. Go to a real store… this is simply a little joke.
THE VERDICT: i occasionally go here for fudge… there is possible no other reason to go here. unless your professor is a huge douche and makes you buy the book that he wrote… get your books from Chegg or amazon much cheaper. with love… alex s.

Overall the bookstore was good, however I was trying to get my books and an older gentleman working there named Jacob was SO rude to me. I had just started school looking for books and he would not help me and would talk to me with a sarcastic smile. My mother walked over after a minute of conversation with the man and then BOOM, totally different person. Then once she left he was rude again. I was very disappointed in the service and insincerity.

VERY fun to explore. I haven’t been here in depth, but there’s something for everyone in the BYU Bookstore. My son loves the little children’s area in the basement. They have blank board books and blank story books for you to make your own stories! Awesome.

Pros:
1. Fan Gear section of the store is finally in the most prominent part of the store.
2. Fan Gear styles have improved over the past 3 years.
3. The Candy Counter is in the same place it’s always been — the center or crossroads of the store.
4. The LDS books section looks a lot better than it did when I was a student, and a lot more organized.
Cons:
1. In the LDS books section, I found some ghetto signs made up on regular white printing paper on some of the bookshelves.
2. Fan Gear wasn’t separated into Women’s and Men’s sections. Kind of confusing sometimes.
3. Hats were buried deep in one of the corners of the store. Just hard to find.
4. Some stuff just seemed like clearance type items that should be taken off the floor, and put in a special clearance section of the store.
All in all a pleasant experience, made better by a enthusiastic cashier in the Cougar Wear department.

A great place for BYU students to get what they need.
