Big section of UW clothing with something for everyone. Large art supply section that is always worth a visit. Prices for books are high as always so if you can find a cheaper source online or is well worth it
Im not a Wisconsin fan, but I enjoy walking around other schools campuses and browsing their selection of apparel and gifts when I happen to be visiting a new place. This branch of the bookstore seemed great! So much to choose from, they have an excellent selection. And dang, that badger is so cute!
Dont wast your time at Madison store and come here. They have a very good selection of Madison gear. Had good deals too!
You can find UW clothing at affordable price...and hot and cold drinks
Can always find something there.
Wonderful and very interesting store. The lady cashiers were helpful and easy to speak to. Large selection of different colored clothes and Wisconsin ties. My mom bought I a Japanese Bucky t-shirt and a beautiful black Wisconsin hoodie. The store has changed since my last visit. They added two try on rooms and expanded checkout counters
University book store @ Madison was one of the hi lites of my tip to Wisconsin. Staff was pleasant, helpful, patient and knowledgeable. Prices were a little higher than average
Great variety of apparel to choose from. Pricing wasnt bad on some of the options.
I ordered two shirts online. Something happened to the delivery. Don from online services at University Bookstore sent me replacements that I received two days later. Exceptional Service! No BS from UBS :)Thanks Don!
Great selection. Pricey $
Great products and service along with good prices.
Hometown bookstore!! Home of the Wisconsin Badgers!! And everything badger from cradle to the grave..
Only good when there is a good sale.
Found some coffee mugs at a reasonable price
Hadnt been inside since the remodel. It has a nice layout, but still feels kind of cramped. It would be nice if they could find a way to expand further so the store felt even more open.
More crowded than I would have cared for and I would have liked to see more merchandise that is associated with a specific academic department. The clerk also did not tell me the cost of my latest purchases and gave me the wrong receipt, had to go back and ask for the right one.
Great stop for Badger wear and all things UW
Amazing, and the employees were very nice.
Everything Badgers. Textbooks, clothing and so much more.
College bookstore with lots of Madison/Badger gifts and merchandise.
Why only Bucky badgers? Opportunity to sell more kinds of clothes is missed.
Badger merch is not ideal for red green colorblind people.
Wisconsin Clothing for any sizes. Prices a little high.
Great selection of Badgerwear
Great selection of items across a wide variety of interest areas. Enjoy shopping there.
Pretty nice place, friendly and helpful staff. Great for students looking for class material, and great for students and other fans alike for apparel. Only two qualms are some items have a hefty price, and I was looking for a zip up sweatshirt, and after asking the employees, they didnt know where to find it. Other than that a great place for all Wisconsin apparel!
Everything Badger! On Wisconsin!
You can get a lot of stuff
Best book store ever! Lots n lots of books I love it
They have EVERYTHING, and while prices can be pretty out-of-sight on a lot of the stuff, we shop there every Homecoming. This time, a staff member named Ken I think (an older gentleman) made my day, really helping me and just SO kind and friendly! Thank you, Sir--we appreciate your kindness very much!🙂
Nice place lots of stock very overpriced.
Has way more than just books or just clothes good rewards program, though somewhat expensive
I cant tell you enough how amazing and miraculous this trip to the University bookstore was. Right when you walk in, you instantly see the vast variety and potential this store has. If you are looking for something specific, this store has it. From notebooks to foam fist that can hold your adult drinks. Wink. Any school supplies you need during your times of trouble, its right there. The clothes they sell are truly amazing and smell very nice. They smell like theyre brand new. And the store itself is ginormous. and if youre hungry, you can stop underneath the store for some Subway, eat fresh. if you ever going on a trip to Madison, I would highly recommend making this place your first, second and last stop. Im truly glad I went to the store and cant wait to go back.
Staff helpful and efficient, big selection of variety of items, including school supplies, electronics, Badger clothing, Badger-themed gifts, and, of course, textbooks. My only complaint - its pricey so may want to purchase certain supplies elsewhere. I have to say I wish necessary items needed for college, like textbooks, could be less expensive.
Very helpful employee told me the exact location of what I was searching for
Superb selection of Badger apparel, but prices are on the high side. Definitely recommend scrounging around for coupons or waiting for a sale to make the final purchase price more wallet friendly. The staff here is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get...my interactions with the staff have ranged from disinterested to personable. Appreciate the addition of a coffee stand.
Really neat place to get gear on campus. There are often fun things going on for students too.
If youre a student looking for books, youre better off going elsewhere because this place is grossly overpriced. Online will save you a lot of money. The store itself is cool for souvenirs and stuff though. Lots of different spirit wear and school supplies.
Got all the books.
Great experience really a good place if you’re looking for so it is or any of the stuff representing the college
I love the University Book Store. They have lots of badger gear and cute gift items. The priced are a little high, but the items seem to be good quality. There also a Subway sandwich shop downstairs.
3 floors of just...everything is awesome!
Social distancing Good sales
Literally the best store I have ever been in, 10/10 would recommend for everyone. Staff is amazing, especially in hardlines, so helpful! No wonder this store has won so many awards!!!!
Great book store. Lots of options. We always stop in here when we visit campus.
This is a private company that the University collaborated with. Their books are insanely overpriced. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for cheaper rentals and purchases of books. Dont let them fool you when they say they but books back. Theyll give you $40 for a brand new $200 textbook and $5 for a $50 one.
Amazing selection if you dont mind the premium price.
I received very good service from one of the salespersons here recently. They were kind and worked me to hunt for the right size for a shirt I wanted. Thank you.
One of the best places to find anything on campus
Store is on the upper level and the elevator is hard to use. Also the store doors have an assist but are not wheelchair friendly as they require that you pull the door open. Great selection of items however.
The book store is fairly large and has a nice variety of items, from clothing to Madison souvenirs and other items that arent necessarily UW themed. Four stars instead of five because while its a decent store, theres nothing special or exceptional about it.
Good place for Wisconsin Badger gear and centrally located for college students.
Lots of branded WI items
It is neat to visit, but the layout is a little difficult to navigate in order to find what you want. As one would hope, there is a good selection. There are better places to purchase Badger clothing however, in my opinion, in Madison.
Great customer service! The girl that helped me at shipping was very sweet and helpful, much appreciated after an awful experience at the USPS across the street. I wish I had caught her name so she could be recognized!
I went to the Hilldal e location & they were so helpful. I ended up going to the downtown to pick up what I needed. All went well and I am happy!
Best place on campus when it comes to getting your textbooks. The staff is always ready to help you get the books you need
Very helpful purchasing a gift certificate.
I am a collector of fine pens, and University Bookstore used to have the best selection in Madison. Unfortunately theyve succumed to a combination of more people shopping online and fewer people enjoying the pleasure of fine writing instruments.This is not limited to pens, however, as the same issue applies to its selection of books. While I do continue to occasionally stop in, I feel that the name could easily be changed to University Clothes Store.
Love the university book store. Great selection!
There is no guarantee that you will find the book you are looking for. In most cases you will have to go online and buy it from the University Book Stores online website
Great section. Not the best for larger sizes
Had to buy supplies for class and the man at the counter helped me find everything a lot quicker than I could have myself
Always a good feeling to return to my alma matter and to stroll around inside UW Madison bookstore. I always get i want here and the staff is nice. I have to admit that prices on some items are ridiculously priced like a hat for $40, it is just a hat despite the brand on it. Anyway i like coming here
Wahoo the perfect Wisconsin hat with 20% off for parents weekend!
Make sure to check online for textbook prices before buying a textbook here. Its often a place where students go for textbooks as well as stationary supplies and various Wisconsin wear. It has some electronics supplies, but the electronics section was moved to its own store (which quickly closed within 2-3 years of it being opened where the now 7-Eleven stands) and thus doesnt have much variety when it comes to electronic needs. If it did still have its own dedicated electronics staff as it once did, I would give it 5 stars.
Incredibly overpriced books and often rude staff. Although it is affiliated with the university, do not think that this will be a good value or have your interests as a student in mind. I only rate it two stars for the occasional employee that is incredibly helpful and friendly. Also, be aware you cannot bring backpacks into the actual bookstore in the basement, you will be forced to put it in a locker.
Convenient bookstore but extremely expensive. The giant Ron Dayne bobblehead is an outstanding attraction but you can buy most art and school supplies cheaper elsewhere.
As a millennial books are not really hip but I needed a book at the last minute and this place happened to have it when their competitors didn’t. Thank you .
Great selection of Wisconsin University merchandise if thats what youre looking for this is the place
I wanted a note book. They had plenty of notebooks. I was in and out in a few minutes.
We usually go in for the convenience of dropping off prepaid UPS packages. Although they arent making a sale from it everyone is so cheerful and willing to help!
Classic Bookstore, great resource for UW students and members of the community alike
Helpful customer service - had an issue that was dealt with- thank you!
They are extremely amazing their staff is helpful polite and just all around good ppl
The university book store is more than just a book store! They have everything from apparel to water bottles to posters and more. Of course, if you need a textbook for a course, this is the place to go!
I was touring the university in Madison, and I recieved a coupon for participating in the tour. Anyway, this store is awesome! The staff are very helpful, and they have a great selection of merchandise.
It has been half a century since I first started shopping here. I still come here for the best selection of Badger clothing and other assorted items identity with the university.
The Onalaska Culvers its amazing. The manager is fun and runs a delicious Culvers with extraordinary service. Every employee goes above and beyond.
Awesome collection of badgerwear. Go to shop for anything UW related.
A great place for Badgers gear for students, alumni and fans.
The staff are quite helpful and even if youre not there for the books, there is a nice variety of badger and non-badger things. Nice place for some art supplies too.
Nice staff, good products but a bit expensive.
I would say its a very typical bookstore but the place could use some more organization. It felt very confusing walking around the aisles, not entirely because everything was RED! lol but because, the place was structured weird and clothing were organized in a confusing manner, at least to me. Prices are obviously high, its a university bookstore! But good selection of stuff.
Keys or exceeds all expectations for a University book store. Books, clothing, coffee shop. Not much else to say.
Good gear selection, comparatively reasonable prices.
Its designed for students so itll have everything you need, it will cost a bit more than average but it is convenient.
Great selection of u of wisconsin clothes and collectibles.
If you are a fan of UW or are looking for a keepsake from your visit to Madison, this is the place to stop. They sell branded clothes, stickers, magnets, folders, notebooks, and much more. They also have textbooks, art supplies, and regular back to school supplies. Prices arent out of control either.
As a Badger alumni, a great place to browse and buy
Always great to be back in Madison and visit the UBS. Always great items to purchase and get to mix with the students.
A lot of great badger gear to choose from. Some of it is definitely overpriced *cough* Under Armour *cough*... But that is kind of to be expected.
I brought a whole bunch of key chains and t-shirts for my friends back in Vegas. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Good selection....retail prices.
Best place to pick up your latest Badger gear!
