Percentage of sales goes to support student scholarships! Best place to purchase official logo merchandise. Love the holiday t-shirts and gifts!

Typical college bookstore with more school-logoed items. No books. Pricey.

Love the UVA bookstore. Have to stop in any and every time we are in Charlottesville. Best assortment of fan gear and branded items around. The hat selection is extensive. I wish they carried more big and tall items.

Just went in to replace the stickers on my car. Amazingly well organized and quiet considering how early in the semester this visit falls; great Wahoo fan materials & clothing as well as books.

Nice bookstore with a good selection of faculty publications, local books, merch, and snackies. Pens galore and blank books for those of you old school writers. Deffo the stop before UVA adventure time, or chill in the library.

I visited after a tour of the grounds based from the Visitor Center. The layout seems refreshingly open and I crowded, so I could see how one could have a good shopping experience here. All the usual university branded products are here along with most anything I could imagine a student needing in a pinch. The textbook section being located above the main store makes sense with separate staff to help with questions. A few of the staff seemed friendly with others more concentrated on what task they were finishing. A great resource for students to be sure.

Staff were very helpful. Prices ranged from very affordable to expensive, which is great. I found a cool t shirt for thirteen dollars. Fitting room was open also. There is a lot to choose from here unlike some other campus bookstores. Highly recommend.

Visited recently to look at what might be on sale in the realm of astronomy. After looking for a bit and finding nothing, I asked for some help. A kind gentleman put me in contact with another kind gentleman who explained that astronomy books had been recently culled from shelves to offer more space (no pun intended) for other topics. It wasn't the answer I wanted, but it was the answer I needed. Kind service, accommodating nature, highly recommended. Unless you're looking for books about the cosmos. Maybe check Amazon?

I enjoy the bookstore! As a student, I come here regularly to look for textbooks, which are always well arranged and kept up nicely. The staff is always helpful and available to make sure you can find what you are looking for. Also, it's a great place to stop while on Grounds if you want to browse discount books, or my personal favorite, the sale racks of UVa gear. I've found many treasures in these places, as well as some good presents for family and friends. Again, the staff are very friendly and the experience here is fun. Yes, the prices can be high, but for convenience sake, it is definitely worth checking it out.

Even though it was incredibly busy with mew students and parents it was a great bookstore. It is at the top of a parking garage that you do have to pay to park but it is worth checking out. Has everything a student or UVA fan might need or want.

As a UVA alumni, I will continue shopping here. The store is clean, well organized, and reasonably priced. There is a wide selection from which to choose.

Visiting for a basketball game A few bargains in shirts but many varieties on fan shirts. Parking was supposed to have a discount for Game day. Nope. Not a major problem but they shouldn't put signs up saying $5 parking in game days.

Best pharmacy and pharmacist is town, easy access parking, and clean facilities. Maybe don't come here for general merch though: WAY more expensive than Mercers (I'm told) or the web (as far as I can tell). Special stuff, affiliation stuff, high dollar items? Sure. An orange UVA t-shirt? Never.

I'm absolutely shocked by how big this place is. I remember going there once before but clearly wasn't paying any attention. Not only was the bookstore well stocked, but this entire building has really anything you would need on a daily basis. Im sure it is quite the asset to students and employees alike.

Very helpful! THREE employees helped me with parking in the garage, going out of their way to see that that the parking app was working on the first home game of 2021, busy time! I was impressed by their calm, personal matter at such a hectic pre-game time. Thank you!

Truly an amazing store. There is nothing you can not get there including food. The prices for supplies needed are reasonable.clothing is a little high considering the students are paying a lot to go to UVA. The staff is very helpful.Even if you just want to visit and not buy Do it.

They have almost anything you can think of with UVA on it. The staff is amazing and the store always looks impeccable. The store is a nonprofit so all the money goes back to the school for scholarships. They also validate an hour of parking with purchase. I never go anywhere else to purchase my UVA gear.

A great campus bookstore with AMPLE selection of any type of virgina apparel you may want or need. Great parking since a deck is attached.

A wonderful selection of University novelties, gifts for the whole family, branded paraphernalia, and (oh yeah) books! The staff are all super-friendly, and great conversationalists.

If you want UVA swag they have everything you can possibly think of they could stick a logo on. However, be prepared to pay for it as there are scant deals to be had here except for some close out tables. Also, they really need to clean the bathrooms at the exit, stall walls have something growing on them!
