We were very happy that it was open to the public and that it had a very large, well-stocked offer, a very well-stocked shop and very friendly staff, we were in very good hands there.

When I went to the bookstore, the people at the front desk did not let me use my 30% coupon for a hat I wanted to buy. Since my girlfriend was there, I didn’t want to make too much of a fuss, so I bought the hat despite it being much more expensive. Later, I double checked online to verify their promotional accuracy, and I learnt that I could have saved 8$ on a hat. Of course, I bought a new one online and will return the hat I got scammed on later today.

Overall a decent college store. Apparel options and varieties could be better. Like most college stores, prices are high for the quality of the apparel. My sons shirt had a big hole in the belly button area after the first wash.

Great job in putting a university store downtown to help boost the economy busy there. The store has great items and the staff is always nice.

Review β„–17

They do a good job of sourcing high quality products that represent the school. Try cal poly jam or chocolate which is made on campus. You will pay more because you are shopping here but for visitors and tourists, this store is fine. If you go to school here, shop the nearby Marshalls or ross for the same styles at lower prices.

I have mixed feelings about the Cal Poly University Store. Most items are overpriced but they also have almost everything you could need as a student. Whenever I need something either for my classes or for just for myself, I can come here to buy it.

What a beautiful place. Me and my family went there to take my granpda to visit because he graduated in 64, and while walking around we went inside the administration building looking for a restroom and my granpa mentioned to the lady in the front desk that he graduated there and after that they treated my granpa so nicely, the president came down and received my grandpa and gave him a cal poly hat and 2 bottle of wine then ask the animal animal science staff to give us a tour around their area since thats where my granpa studied at. It was awesome, and unforgettable, my granpa really felt special and very pleased.

Cal Poly University store never has everything I want. The prices for Cal Poly gear are always pretty high. This store is a great alternative if the store on campus is out of what you want.

What an awsome school.this is one.of the nicest schools in thae state. The architecture is butiful and the location is great. The store has everthing you might need to represent slo, and the prices are fair. What a great institution..

Review β„–43

A good place to find any merchandize related to Cal poly. Its pricy though, its meant to be a store for soivineirs for visitors. Also, if you ever visit the campus, make sure to get some Cal Poly jam from the University store.

This old lady that looks like she rode a T-Rex to school kept following me and my friends around the whole time we were there. Kept repeatedly asking if we were ok rudely. And kicked us out of the store because my friend charged her phone. I was planning on buying something but made me feel uncomfortable.

Besides apparel being ridiculous (naturally all college stores are) the merchandise for Cal Poly is excellent and can find a lot of things you wouldnt expect that are Cal Poly branded.

Only rent/buy books here if you can’t find them online. The late fee charges are astronomical and many of their rentals are far more expensive than what you could find on Amazon or Chegg.
