Great place if your looking for all things Texas gear. I was looking for an athletic hoodie with a big longhorn but they only had cotton. No big deal but this store has practically everything else Texas.

We popped in slightly before they were closing to grab some Longhorn apparel as we were traveling from out of state. The staff is absolutely great in many ways - were able to help us find different shirts we saw on mannequins, suggested some local eateries as well. What a wonderful and welcoming feel especially from Kellie the manager and cashier Ben!

THE most expensive place to shop for school supplies and UT apparel. MASSIVELY INFLATED prices, like were talking $60 for a simple burnt orange HOODIE with the long horns logo on it. Plus if your professor ever assigns a project that needs a specific thing from the co-op, chances are its sold out because they dont keep a storage with extra supplies. Find better prices and textbook pdfs online. If horrible deals and being in debt appeals to you, welcome to the University Co-op. ☠Also, after looking through the reviews, its SO FUNNY that they have a copy paste for anytime someone says something about the store being too expensive 😂

My friend and I were looking for tape and marker and didn’t want to spend money on that; however, Ivan, who was at the cashier, kindly helped us with it. Thanks a lot for your warm hospitality!

Huge store carrying tons of University of Texas merchandise and fan gear. Great place to shop for these items whether man, women, or child. Kids fear is on third floor if having trouble finding it.

Great selection of clothing, personal and home UT products. Some selection of Texas (state) related products. Great selection of university school related supplies and books. Over the years, management and staff has been friendly, courteous, and helpful with answering questions and checking on products. Garage parking available with 1 hour free with validation.

Crazy place, they have everything UT. If you want your burnt orange gear, this is the place to go. They also have some cool Austin stuff if u are visiting and want to bring home a cup or mug that has some Texas on it. The pricing was depending on what you are looking for, it is a campus bookstore..

Review №38

I had a recent customer service experience with UT Co-op that was outstanding. I ordered a hat that was sized in only two size options. Ordered what I thought would be my size, and when it arrived and I tried it on I discovered it wasnt. Turns out I shouldve ordered the other. I reached out to them, they sent me a shipping label, and said once they receive my return hat, theyd mail me the proper size. Dani was the customer service rep, and she was courteous and professional. She even looked up the specific hat to ensure that they had my proper size so that I wouldnt experience any delays. She promptly emailed me the shipping label, and all told, I had my new hat within one week. A classy, friendly company representative got it done, true to her word. Thanks to Danis demeanor, Ill definitely order again from UT Co-op.

The store has a great selection of UT and Texas related gear including a wide variety of tee shirts, mugs, and stickers. They also have an art section on the third floor which is one of the few stores near the university that sells embroidery floss. The staff are friendly and the building clean.

Review №51

Sadly, I feel my love of UT Co-op has come to an end. For decades, I have relied on the Co-op for common UT swag and apparel; however, a recent visit was met with the loss of the vast sale/clearance racks upstairs and severely OVER-INFLATED pricing on apparel. All I wanted was a dark-colored UT polo, but I wasn’t expecting to pay $70 to $120! I could have spent more time combing the cramped floor space, but I didn’t want to donate even more money for parking.Asking store personnel how to validate the 1-hour parking option was met with confusion and direction to “go ask a cashier.” After a long wait and being ignored by several cashiers, we were told “validation is ONLY an option if you buy something—it’s on the receipt.”Seems like the ‘ole bait and switch is alive and well at UT Co-op. Caveat emptor!

The primary place to go for UT Austin clothing and souvenirs. Conveniently located across the street from campus on The Drag, a historic area to visit, with interesting shops, coffee, and restaurants. Easily accessible by Austin B-cycle, with a nearby station adjacent to the separated bike lane. Keep Austin weird!

Review №53

Surprisingly fast service for textbooks and checkout during the beginning of school. I also have never seen the location dirty whatsoever. Would take away a star for textbook price but the new online tool helps find fantastic deals for books.

Review №54

A place where you can find anything with a UT Longhorn on it? The University Co-op has it. It is a fantastic place to get your gear or gift for any occasion. The employees were very friendly and helpful. It is the place to go to after a tour of the University of Texas or before a football game. If you are starving after shopping, the Co-op Food Court is located behind the Co-Op with several food trailers--highly recommend to check it out.

Review №55

Love the Co-Op, this is the UT mecca for whatever you are looking for. There is always something to buy and there is always so much to choose from. Parking garage behind it is great to get in and out, if you purchase they will validate as well so bring your ticket with you. There is a great photo spot with Bevo in the back, during graduation hell get dressed up too. There is a new Welcome to Austin sign that is very well painted and the color is much better than the original sign. There are a few food trucks in the back that I have yet to get to try. The people at the Co-Op are helpful and friendly. There is a sale/outlet section on the 3rd floor. There are some things that you can find elsewhere for cheaper bur for the most part this is where you can get anything and everything UT.

Review №56

They carry anything and everything UT! Ive bought a few gifts for my parents here when I was short on time. The only issue I have is that they are way over priced for the quality of the product. I turn to amazon for UT gifts and books or a sporting good store for apparel if Im not short on time. They will validate your parking if you take them your parking ticket from the garage.

Review №62

I ordered two used textbooks online, waited over a week for my email that they are available for me to pick up in store. I never received this email and so I went to check myself to find out that there are no more of the books I ordered in store and they will not be ordering more. They never saved any of the ordered books for me (which is the point of ordering online in advance). I never got an email telling me about this problem, so I ended up having to pay full price for brand new textbooks in store. This was my first time ordering from the coop and needless to say I will not be ordering again. I am extremely unhappy with my experience.

Facilities and employees: nice and neat. helpfulPrice: depends on what you are buying but they are not so cheapI would go on amazon first for the textbook unless professor ask to get co-op edition or you dont have any options.For UT product, I think this is to go place for that.

I go to a UT game in Austin every year and the Coop is a tradition for the game day experience. You cant beat the atmosphere! Its like Longhorn heaven and I can spend hours looking through everything burnt orange. The staff is friendly and helpful as well. Ordering online is easy and shipping is fast. Ive even called in asking about a product I had seen in-store but couldnt find online and they searched the store for it and shipped it to me! The only downside to the Coop is that theyre pricey - Im not poor but I personally cant afford most of their products. Overall, its a great store!

If you need University of Texas Longhorn clothes, decorations or just about anything, this is the place to go. The store is massive and has everything from keychains to more formal clothing to baby and kids clothes. Their items can be a little more expensive than some of the more popular department stores, but youre not going to find a larger variety.

Anything you could possibly need that has a longhorn on it, you will find in this store! Their selection of apparel, home goods, and anything you can think of that can be branded with burnt orange is always fully stocked and ready for your visit.They also do a lot of really fun events where you can meet UT alumni or get special sales/discounts.

I ordered a diploma frame that got delivered to my house with the glass shattered. I called the number for web orders 7 times in the last week and left voice mails and sent 4 emails to the email address to initiate an exchange and I have still not heard back from anyone. They have a strict 30 day return policy. This is a $260 item. Why is the customer service so terrible and what do I have to do to speak to someone?

If you ever need to get something that is UT-branded, this is the place to come. The University Co-op has literally everything available in burnt orange and plastered with the Texas Longhorns logo. Luggage? Check. Bathroom decor? Check. Cowboy boots? You betcha. The Co-op allows for easy present shopping as a UT student since you can always get something different each year for your parents Christmas presents.

Its expensive. However, Im still a sucker for buying merchandise there just because its so convenient to campus. One thing I hate is how expensive textbooks are! I highly suggest ordering your books from Amazon or some other cheaper place. I will give them props for doing the 10% rebate program because it definitely adds up throughout the year. Plus, their social media team is great and they are always doing some type of contest online.

Review №98

Graduation is a stressful time for everyone. It happens every year, and yet the Co-op did not seem to know what was going on. I wanted to purchase robes, and was told that it was past the deadline to purchase robes. Their deadline said 4-6 weeks, and I was there at six and a half weeks. A fellow student went in the next week and purchased their robes. I was told at the time of rental I would have the chance to purchase the rental. When I returned the rental I was told that purchasing the rental was not an option. I have since tried contacting the Co-op to try and learn how I might purchase a robe (after having to rent it for graduation when I *could* have purchased it.) I have not had any response to my communication.As expected, the goods are overpriced. Some of the staff know what theyre doing, some are clueless.If you want to have any kind of response from the management. Go elsewhere.

Good place. Lots of UT stuff and sell books too. Everything is on the pricey side so I suggest checking if books are sold somewhere else. If not, the Co-op definitely sells it. At the beginning of the semester its pretty busy, and the checkout system is subpar. You can spend Bevo Bucks here which is cool if you need to buy Christmas gifts last minute.
