They have everything you could ever want...from clothing to textbooks to gift items. And the prices are very affordable, too!! Stop by & check it out!
They are literally out here robbing students and other patrons. They don’t even price match and have the audacity to mark up some items over 50% knowing that some on campus students (or even students that drive 30+ min to get to school like myself) have no other convenient locations to get a school item when they’re in a pinch. Honestly, its the most disgusting example of price gouging I’ve seen on a college campus.
3 Stars is generous. Its a normal University Bookstore. Nothing great, but horrible prices.However, the worst thing is they dont seem to communicate with the University to ensure the appropriate color shirts are available for athletic events. Saturday was a White Out and there were limited number of white shirts available. Next Weekend is a Hudson Blue and same thing, limited number of shirts available.Finally, they use a limited number of designs for University logos, thus reducing their available inventory and making it difficult to find good merchandise to purchase.
Tons of stuff to choose! I would suggest expanding styles for women that are more flattering. Otherwise, fun place to shop.
Very good bookstore. Its got merch aplenty and is good for any student of parent who needs things.
It could definitely be better laid out, but I have good experiences
Early morning cashier notvery personal with an alumna when asking questions before making a purchase .😖🥺😫
Very nice selection of stuff...A bit pricey..
Im a little bias. ODU alumni. Go Monarchs!
Extremely rude staff when I called about the order status of my books (ordered online). I had not heard back from them, so I called to see where my book was since I was told it *might* be ordered. Not sure if its college students picking up the phone, but very short with me when I called...and also called me hon condescendingly on the phone. Yikes.
The bookstore is great. The staff are friendly and helpful and it has stuff for both students and parents. Plus, it supports ODU.
Super exploitive pricing
Some usual school supplies are absent in this store. Prices are higher than in other shops. But the personnel is friendly, the place is cozy
Very nice bookstore and very clean. Personnel was very polite and helpful.
Great selection of clothing, stickers, hats, backpacks and souvenirs.
Well organized over priced and crowded supply... Friendly staff. Well placed books very uplifting
Very helpful people. Well organized and safe!
Never had a bad experience here and pretty much go here once a semester for their cheap spiral notebooks. Make sure you need the textbook before buying because they can be very expensive.
Great stuff there.
Nice selection of books but the prices on the clothing is ridiculous did find a nice rain jacket however
Lots to choose from. Friendly staff! 🤩 Fun to shop in.
Nice workers, got everything done fast
Amazing service!! thank you Efraim for your generous help with my laptop! :) you’re a lifesaver!
Go anywhere else but here. This store is useful maybe if you need to buy a hoodie or pencil, but then again you will pay the highest price. I ordered a used textbook for pick-up in store so that I would be able to pick it up right away. Well, they didnt even check to see if they had the used textbook in stock, instead they ordered it from a different facility and told me it would be there in 5 days. If I wanted to wait 5 days I would have ordered it from a cheaper website and had it shipped to my house. Upon informing me of this when I was ready to pick up my textbook, they told me that I could not cancel the order. On top of all this, I went to the second floor and low-and-behold I found the used textbook just sitting there on a shelf ready to be taken. However, their only solution was to buy the textbook again (for another $200 which I didnt have) and then to get a refund on the other one when it arrived. Additionally, all of the staff seemed to be frustrated with me for bringing up this problem. Maybe if they were actually organized things could run a little smoother.
Very helpful and nice people.
Wonderful selection of merchandise and customer service. Great Management as well.
This book store is less about books and more about stationary, gadgets, sundries and school spirit. There is also a computer store and textbook center on the second floor. Lots of great goodies in here but be prepared to pay premium prices.
Sweet kind loving people I know theyre busy schedule to help me search for my keys thanks to them I was able to recover them and my day is doing so much better not to mention they have that bookstore and so do you paraphernalia store looking great
The stuff and new manager over there dosent trained well to help custumers. I would not recommend to buy books from this store.
The store was nice and clean. Most the staff where nice and friendly minus an overly frustrated woman who when I asked a question got really frustrated with me and became rude (she obviously had no costumer service skills). But other then her, the store was a very nice store but she ruined my experience.
I went to a book signing here. It was very nice. The store stayed open late for the event and was very welcoming
The books are overpriced, take my advice and go to texbook brokers. It is around the corner from the village bookstore. My experience at the Odu village bookstore was terrible. The employee was nice but I was returning my books at the checkout counter and the supervisor said give him half his money back because he didn’t use the return and exchange line he said it not jokingly and he’s luck I didn’t cause a scene.
The bookstore is pretty large and has a wide selection of other books that are not related to college textbooks. We all know that for a non-ODU specific book to look elsewhere because the prices are high for new textbooks, but the service is great and the store definitely has a lot to offer.
This bookstore has incompetent, rude employees and does not have any communication with its customers. Not only have I had issues recently with an employee not being able to find my online order, but I have also had a textbook on backorder for 2 months. There was no communication about my order or anything. I guess they hoped Id forget? I will not be purchasing from here anymore. Buyer beware.
Marc Katz who runs the store keeps it in perfect order and without any trouble.
Very nice inside, but the prices are full blown retail.
A good selection of books with an accompanying coffee shop inside.
Great service from Darryl Atkinson, selection and pleased with order
Its as expected
Staff is atrocious. Rude and nasty. Terrible experience. One member, Dana treated us as human. Really sad.
Totally rips students off. Prices are so messed up. Will never shop here again!
Roar
Do not go here. They are always out of the book you need and will blame the professor. Ive never been able to get all my items in a single trip. Save your time and money, buy on Amazon
Theyre okay but make it difficult to rent books so you have to spend close to $1000 instead of $200-$300. It sucks.
Id give this place more stars if I could actually these books much more expensive than Amazon even though the rent ones!!
Overpriced but generally pretty good
Nice staff.
Overpriced
Usually busy, but never to hard to find help.
Cool place
Bunches of items to look at!
Very rude staff
Nice
Use Amazon.
Seems expensive
Good selection, things are a little pricey.
