UC Davis Stores

It’s definitely not convenient that the store split in half. I really liked the size of the store before but what can you do? There are a few good things about this store, but I wouldn’t say they’re any real game changers.
Pros: there’s a lot of parking nearby at the MU Parking Structure, but you have to pay for it. The bookstore itself is in a convenient location so you can walk there anytime you are on campus. Luckily it’s right next to the bus stop so you can visit the store really quick before you go home. The prices aren’t always the best, but they’re usually better than what you can get in other local stores (for example, art supplies for design or art classes). You can find cheaper prices on Amazon, but if you need something immediately and is still affordable then the Bookstore is where you want to go.
Cons: As mentioned before, not the cheapest, but not expensive either. There are definitely better places to buy notebooks and other office supplies for cheaper. 9 out of 10 times you will have to wait in line, too. The liveliness can be close to dead since the workers there are always busy and they basically just go by script when they check you out. Almost none of them actually bother to talk to you, they’re just there to do their job and that’s it. The bookstore also doesn’t have the books you most need in stock, which sucks. Pretty sure every time I went there to buy a book that I needed, they didn’t have it… Not to mention, if you do need a book, the bookstore is not the place you want to go if you’re trying to save money. You go online for that. If you didn’t know that by 2015, you’re literally paying the price for it.
Tip: Get what you need before you actually need it. Then you can actually avoid forcing yourself to fork up more money at the bookstore, aka everyone’s last-​minute resort.

I would give zero stars if I could. These incompetent imbeciles were unable to order books for 180 law students with the exact amounts known for each and every class. It’s taken them 3 weeks to get the correct books for the first year class and in the mean time slowed down nearly every class due to their inability to order the correct books on time. If the employees of the bookstore were an animal they would be jellyfish since they have the same amount of brain matter. I would rather shave my face with a stingray with aids then deal with these people again. 0 out of 100.

The UC Davis Bookstore has everything you need: Aggie clothing, books (both for classes and for leisure reading), cards, notebooks, pens, and even CDs, and Clinique products. Really awesome location for all your Aggie needs.

What I like about the UCD store is their local products: olive oil, dried tomatoes, and honey. A little pricey, but people always tell me they’re really good quality, not like store bought. During a tasting event, one woman said she’s made tomato cream cheese with store bought tomatoes but the flavor wasn’t as intense when she tried the one made with the Russell Ranch tomatoes (same recipe.) The UCD products are great as gifts!

Just a student store… UCD apparel, textbooks, sweaters. Can order books here and pick them up! Ordered Hunger Games and kept it on hold for me. :)

This review is for the tech hub. I called a ton of stores in Yolo and Sacramento County and they all sold out of all the models of the new iPads. I was so happy to find out that the bookstore had the model and colour that I wanted! Plus they don’t charge city tax on campus so for large electronic purchases, you’ll save like… $ 5 or so: P
You have to have a student ID card to buy electronics from here though.

You typical student store. Sweaters and books, you can find all your UCD needs!
