Its a classic Hofstra experience - an average variety of exorbitantly expensive doodads. In all seriousness, its okay, hence the 3 stars. The bookstore stock most of the books required in your coursework here, though many could be in short supply. Think of HUB as a last resort, not a first choice: it does have book price matching now to remain competitive, but the small stock is unreliable. For everything else, HUB is very expensive. Unless you need something immediately (again, the bookstore should only be a last resort,) buy beforehand from Amazon or eBay instead. I once bought a razor here because I had to go to a last-minute interview and couldnt bike back home in time. It was 20$ and then some. What it does have is a wealth of overpriced Hofstra merchandise. Buy these for the merchandise and brand value, to show off Hofstra Pride, but dont buy it because its a blue hoodie. Trust me youll get two better hoodies with the same amount of money.

This is my school bookstore. Their textbook prices are pretty reasonable and they do price matching from select websites but they do not have a huge selection of used textbooks the longer you wait to buy books. In addition to textbooks, they sell quite a bit of dorm gear, binders/folders, and university spirit gear here. The only reason this isnt 5 stars is because the prices of the shirts/spirit gear are pretty high considering the majority of people buying the stuff are college kids without a lot of money. Also, the snacks they sell in the store cannot be bought with your meal card if you are a student.

The hofstra book store is exactly what youd expect from a college store. Lots of Hofstra brand apparel (with a 40% price markup). The basement houses the actual bookstore where course books can be found using your course number (not your CRN) and its all relatively easy. In the back section other school supplies like pencils, notebooks, and folders can be found (again all rediculously overpriced). If youre in a time crunch, get your supplies here, if not you can find almost everything cheaper on the Internet or at some mega store.

I hate how I get emails fro a package on Sunday and yet I cant go and pick it up until Monday. It makes no sense to me. I really wish the book store and the package pickup were 2 separate entities so I can pick up packages on Sunday. Also, the prices are way too high.

Expensive books as to be expected but other than that it has a large inventory with plenty of variety, guaranteed to satiate your thirst for knowledge at the cost of an empty wallet.

This place steals your money in any way possible. Ive never witnesssed such blatant fraudulence in my life.

Kevin is the most helpful person in the bookstore and Post Office. Nothing is too much trouble for him.

They stand by their price matching for Amazon and B&N
