I have two of my favorite shirts, one I bought in my hometown Atlanta from Georgia Techs bookstore and my $40 Dark Navy Blue UTSA polo that I will hopefully keep forever. Buying from the bookstore isnt about the price, its about the tradition. That, is worth the "markup". Dont get me wrong, I have plenty of UTSA pullovers, UTSA jackets and tshirts from Heb, Target and Walmart, but I know exactly where my money is going at the Bookstore and the more I buy now, the better itll become in the future. Their selection is great and they have had ALMOST everything I have ever wanted as far as gifts and supplies (I buy the same 5 subject notebook every semester!) The only thing the book store needs now is more UTSA backpacks, and quite frankly Ill pay just about any price for one and Im broke AF. #GoRunners

I already had read the online price match policy on your website. When I tried to get an associate to match an item on Amazon they found every reason possible not to match it. They seriously said that it had to be sold directly from Amazon and not Prime eligible. Everything sold directly from Amazon is sold under Prime! Its their whole business model! So basically youre saying you dont match Amazon. So I was told to check Barnes and a Noble. Found another lower price there and once again was denied because again the person claimed that it didnt come directly thru them. Im starting to understand why your store is empty and people are getting what they need online for cheaper. You might want to inform your consumers of this "policy" in writing in the "price match" guarantee.

Purchased a "utsa" version digital textbook for a class.. Went to return the unopened software which was still in the UTSA bookstore sealed bag so it was VERY clear that I never opened it and the staff told me under no circumstances do they take software back. Turns out the staff doesnt even know their own policy. I, days later unfortunately, get on the website to check on it myself and realized there is a 14 day refund policy for unopened software. Its really too bad. I will avoid spending money at all costs with this store.

At the beginning of the semester I was told I would be able to sell my textbook back to the bookstore for half the price which is pretty Good for a $200 textbook. When the semester ended I called back the week of finals to make sure that offer was still good, the gentleman said yes they would be able to buy back the book for half price. I drove all the way to the main campus from bulverde just so that they could tell me that they are NOT GOING TO BUY BACK MY TEXTBOOK. Total rip off.

On several separate occasions, clearance items are available to order, but NEVER available to be shipped. Items will be cancelled or on backorder--and I will never receive them. Customer service reps are unconcerned and say, "unfortunately the system is not designed to correct this or that." Will never order from them again!

Try to avoid buying your text from here. You will save by ordering from Chegg or any other book rental company versus here. They also tend to run out of the text, or not have the text in on time for the beginning of the semester. The staff is very helpful, but the pricing is terrible!

Avoid the bookstore unless you are made of money. Markup is ridiculous, and book buyback is even worse. I.E., them selling a used book (pages were literally falling out...) for $300 and buyback is $2 even though the same text will be used for the course next semester.

Staff there are nice, but do everything you can to avoid buying anything here. Including those horrid Vera backpacks. Rent from Amazon or Chegg. I got one of my 400$ (to buy)/ 140$ (to rent) finance books rented from Amazon for only $40.

Has all the roadrunner gear you could possibly want, plus some you probably dont. School supplies are a little overpriced, but you probably should of thought about getting school supplies before you came to school.

Book store is a major ripoff. Go to Amazon or Anywhere else to get your books. The books they sell/rent are made of the cheapest possible materials and marked up hundred %.

The bookstore is clean, tidy and well-organized. In spite of its small size they are usually well-stocked in a variety of necessities. Nice helpers!

Jacob Aaron

Terrible price. It is not right that they charge their own students this much and then buy the book back for an eighth of the price

I love my school. Our campus is big and clean. No trash, stray cats, or loud bothersome people like other campus around SA.

Clean grounds; updated campus with new buildings and a fresh look. Excellent university and not an expensive education.

Scott Magnuson

Typically long lines and VERY expensive book prices to the tune of 10% to 25% above SRP...typical college book store

Lots of UTSA gear. Books and school supplies. Anything and everything you need to start the semester.
