I used to love this store as the easiest and cheapest way to get textbooks for class. The last two times I have been here they have charged far more than other options. I have visited this store for the past 2 years, but I would say the quality has greatly deteriorated in the past year. The employees are no longer as friendly as they have been before and come across as arrogant/rude.

Service was very friendly. I could’ve given 5 stars but the inside smelled like the pet store next door. Prices were reasonable. They also offer Military discount so if you serve show your ID.

First time shopper and it was nice! Cheaper books here than on campus or amazon!They find the books you need for you and you just pay at the counter. So simple! Fast and friendly service ❤

The folks working there are pretty nice. However, I recommend that you compare their prices to any online stores. Sometimes they do have the lowest prices and sometimes they don’t. It’s a hit or miss and we know us students need to save as much money as possible.

They have terrible return policies and are not understanding at all. I bought a book the Sunday before the return deadline and then when I got to class on Tuesday realized I didnt need it anymore. The return policy should be one week after the book WAS PURCHASED. Not one week after the start of school. This is an unfair policy DESIGNED to take money from students who are trying to save for their futures. I feel completely cheated and am now stuck with useless books. I have had them for only two days and they have caused me an undue amount of stress combined with the start of a new year. The books are not only in the exact same condition as I bought them (never even opened them) but are useless bricks on my desk.Staff was unfriendly and one even told us too basically look for the books ourselves.When we bought our books their receipts and flyers that come at check out have spelling mistakes.I will NEVER rely on this store again. Sure, they are cheaper than on campus but most days you can find books for a lot cheaper online with less worry about poor customer service.

Most class material can be found here at reasonable rates, and renting is a cost-effective alternative to buying!

Service is usually alright, but the prices are better than the UTD bookstore in 95% of cases. Sometimes significantly so. Ive had books that were 5 dollars cheaper all the way to 50 dollars cheaper. They do not carry supplemental reading material, only course required books.

Renters beware! This place has good prices on books. But if you make a rental within the first weekof class, return the book before the deadline. I rented the book that was on my syllabus but myprofessor said I did not need it. The book was still in shrink-wrap and not was not opened. I tried toreturn it but they told me I cant get a refund because the return deadline had passed 2 days before.They tell me I can either keep it till the end of the semester or return it now. Seriously?! I can returnthe book now or later, but either way, youre going to keep my money for a book that is worthless tome?! I only go to that class once a week and when the professor tells me I dont need the book inthe following week, this place wont accept the return when just I got out of my second day in class?!The whole point of renting a textbook is to receive value from it. When you have to return somethingthat you know you did not receive any value from and they keep your money anyway, how is thatfair?! How is that even a good business practice?! But whats more insulting is that they get to keepboth the book and your money in the end. Its like paying an entire years rent when you only juststayed for one month. Its like a robbery just happened. Honestly, it would be a lot more reasonable ifthis place extended the deadline to the Friday on the second week of the semester. Otherwise, abunch of people will not get their refunds after their professor tells them they dont need their book inthe first place. And because of the extremely early return deadline, it feels this business is purposelyhoping for that to happen. Dont ever believe this place is out to help students by offering a cheaperalternative than the UT Dallas bookstore. When it comes to rentals, the store return policy isdesigned to exploit students. If you dont return your books unreasonable soon, youre going to getripped off.

Coming from the mind of a non college student. Went into this store to browse the books, possibly pick one up to learn, gain knowledge. I knew text books where expensive, but didnt realize how expensive. Not the fault of the stores. They did have a wide selection, and even used books also. Also had a decent collection of UTD apparel since its just down the road. Staff was excellent, was asked several times if I needed anything. When listening to their conversations with others you could tell they where not only knowledgeable about the store, but also cared. Which I believe goes a long way.I highly recommend this store. Whether it be the need of a textbook for classes, or just to gain knowledge from books, like I wanted.

Super helpful staff. Got $20 for a couple of old books. Not bad

They usually have the books that I need and have helpful staff. However, be sure to thoroughly check your books BEFORE you purchase them; they do have books that are on the shelves where the binding is literally falling off the pages.If their books were in better condition, I would rate them more highly.

Not a very well organized store but good reliable selection of texts for UTD. Buybacks and other services are nice and returns are painless.

So polite on the phone! saved me over $60 in rented textbooks! fast service, knowledgeable associates, and all are very kind! dont know why i didnt get my books here my first semester...

OCB is great if you need your books now, because you can usually find most of the textbooks there. If you can wait a little while though you can find the books cheaper on amazon or at half price books. Ive never had a problem with OCB until this last semester. They simply didnt have books for four of my classes despite going a couple days before class, and on the first day of my class.

Excellent destination if you are student at UTD. The organization of the store provides a hastened, less stressful means of buying all your college textbooks.

Decent prices on most books for renting. They are often cheaper than the university bookstore. Place is no frills and got checked out in no time.

Beware of the online portal. My online order was so far delayed that I simply voided the charge on my card. Throughout this ordeal, every interaction had been nothing short frustrating. Off Campus Books lacked the decency to take responsibility for their fiasco, or better yet, inform me about the fact that they lost my order in the first place.That was the first and last time that I will buy from Off Campus, especially since Stanza opened down the street. They appear to have less space and inventory than Off Campus, but Stanza still stays stocked with all required course materials at a lower cost.Its not the higher prices that motivated this negative review, its the blatant lack of respect and customer service. At the of my ordeal with Off Campus, I still had not received my book. I didnt receive any kind of apology, just a constant stream of excuses. Afterwards, I had nothing to show for besides lots of wasted time, money, and effort. The only thing I took home from Off Campus was a a case of high blood pressure after every interaction.PS: Amazon Prime is free for students. You can find books for reasonable prices, and Prime gives you free 2 day delivery. Its another option for cash strapped college students like myself.

Prices are always reasonable, and they make sure to keep inventory/course info correct and updated at all times. The store manager is very nice and accommodating!!

Apparel selection was good and prices were reasonable.

Very affordable prices on rents and buys. Great for JSOM students

I was always disappointed with the lack of selection within the greek supplies. Every time I went, there was nothing new, and often times the products were broken. They often times had over flowing boxes of shirts and products for a certain organization but never any of the others. They had so many that these boxes were often left on the floor in front of the section. When I brought up the lack of products to the cashier, they simply stated there was never anything because no one buys it so why order more? But tell me this. How am I supposed to buy something if the stock never changes, its not cute, and its often broken or merely nearly empty. Then I find out they are completely getting rid of everything. I am very disappointed. On the rare occasion they did have items, I always bought as many as I could as to stock up. But that was maybe once or twice. Over all very disappointed, where am I to go now? After online research, other places are actually cheaper than renting from here, I am seriously considering other options. Also during christmas they ran a deal that was 30% off sweat shirts, but the day I went they ran a bogo for the sweater I wanted. Instead of giving me the 30% I wanted I was forced to either use the bogo or not. I came specifically for the 30% as I did not want 2 of the same sweater or a mug I already had. I still bought the sweater despite the fact, but I am still bothered by this interaction.

They have most of the textbooks you need at reasonable prices to buy and rent used textbooks

Review update : Management contacted us and they worked with us to achieve an amicable result and we are happy for their understanding, support and care they showed to said problem and our concerns as they waved our fees. Through this experience I have learned that We all should be better at being well educated renters and inspect condition of items to be rented and make sure is stipulated in contract to make the whole process transparent.Wouldnt mind renting there as they do hear your concern and put time and effort to keep your bussiness and a good customer - bussiness relationship.

Always a pleasure to be there. Kind workers, incredibly low prices, and free scantrons with every purchase!

Prices are less expensive then the on-campus UT Dallas bookstore. Renting books here has been a breeze.

Easy process and efficient and great customer service.

They have everything a college student needs, even better hear than the campus bookstore.

Very friendly staff, great prices comparative to their competitors.

Great prices and selection on books and gear of all kinds​.

Very reasonably priced everything you need

They have the biggest selection around (besides online) but they will take you for all youre worth. I tried to return some books barely late (they were due friday, I had a friday night exam and tried to turn them in saturday evening but they close early saturdays and sunday they are not open) so monday morning I had them all back in perfect condition and they tried to charge me late/restocking fees amounting to about $230. Im sure Im not the only one who would think thats ridiculous. After much arguing they reduced my fees to about $30 and blacklisted me from ever renting from them again. Meanwhile stanza textbooks next door didnt blink an eye when I turned them in (they were also due friday and I turned them in monday morning as well) No late fees at all and much more pleasant attitudes. Support the little guys next door or shop online.

Ive been going here for quite a while now, and its always been cool, but this semester, the employees seem...idk...less knowledgeable. some are just plain rude. But it was all okay until the other day. I was sold the wrong access code. I was already expressing doubt about whether it was the right one, bc it was supposed to be $20, not $60. But I figured I could return it after class. Of course it was the wrong one. After class I went back and talked to the same girl that sold it to me 2hrs earlier. Long story short, she couldnt find the right access code. So I said, ok, well I guess I just need to return this one then. You cant return it. I said, really?...I really wish you would have told me that before I bought it...So now Im stuck with a $60 piece of cardboard I dont need? And I still dont have the access code for my class...I think the worst part of it was her attitude. She didnt even pretend to feel bad about forgetting to tell me about the return policy, despite the fact that I was obviously unsure about it bc of the price, or selling me a useless $60 piece of cardboard...If she had simply apologized and said something like, oh gosh Im so sorry! If I could, I would return it for you right now, I just dont have the authority. But the owner will be in tomorrow, if you come back up here Im sure hell help you out. But she didnt say anything like that. Not a single, sorry or my bad. Nothing. She did suggest selling it, but that just made me madder.Im going to try to go talk to the owner today. Hopefully hell make it right. If he does, Ill change this review to a positive one. Bc I dont want to punish an entire business for one rude employee...So well see what happens.

Had most of the books I needed at better prices than on campus

Just nice friendly environment . SGreat barista. Would go there to seat and study as well would bring friend to chat there

Gives out a free bluebook per visit. Also has apparel.

Excellent prices compared to the on campus bookstore, though a small loss of quality.

Wouldnt buy any books I sent them need to change there advertising about buying used books back

Great service and very friendly helpful phone service.

You can get 2 free scantrons each visit!

This is a good place to save money on books

This place is an energy vampire on the UTD environment and feeds on the money made off overpriced books and shisting extra fees from poor college students. Please support poor college students everywhere dont go here

Fair prices and nice college t-shirts

I love this store, but that website is the biggest headache to navigate.

Low prices compared to the on campus bookstore by far. One book i rented here was $11 when it was over $100 at the other to also rent it.

Very nice young ladies ☺

Good place

Free Scantron!

Free scantrons and pencils!

Served its purpose well

Excellent
