Barnes & Noble at The Penn State University Bookstore

Impressive!!!

I never really purchased books at this store when I was in college, but it is one of the stores in State College that I tend to go to when I want to purchase Penn State apparel. It’s on the expensive side, but they have good quality items and a large selection. The store is well laid out and clean. They update their merchandise frequently and seem to have trendy as well as traditional items for sale. They are also a good place to stop on campus if you are a student and need quick access to art supplies, school supplies, or some reference books. The service in this bookstore is very good — they tend to have an adequate number of staff members working and they’re easy to find around the store if you need assistance. If you’re an alumni association member, I believe this is the only apparel store in the area where you can use the card for a 10 percent discount.
This bookstore is easily accessed on foot, but it’s right next to the HUB parking garage if you need somewhere to put your car. When we were there parking was one dollar per hour (or part of an hour). It’s very convenient.
