Reviews of UNM Bookstores

Jake Rose

Love coming here, a bit pricey for clothes, but the sales are good and they always have neat and interesting displays.

TJ Denton

Merchandise can be badly overpriced at times, but it is a nice building with a good shopping experience with friendly staff. If you're a student it's beneficial to get your books here as you can use your school account to pay off with any means later on.

Eddie_Spaghetti

Buying textbooks here is fairly easy and can be a quick process. They have a variety of options and they have used and rental options as well. Their return policy is pretty awful since any full refund has to be returned within the first 4 days of the semester which is extreme considering it may take you longer to drop a class. The rentals aren't that steep but it depends on what you need. The rest of the supplies are kind of expensive because they are all UNM name brand items. An example is a notebook running 3 dollars higher than one you get a Walmart. It's not a bad store if you need UNM clothing though, they have some great sweatpants.

Mateo Solano

Awesome place with cool stuff to buy, juet a bit pricey. Great service, tho

Brian Fennema

It was nice heading back to the bookstore for the first time since graduation. They have the absolute best selection of Lobos gear, especially Nike gear. Pulled a great haul for a decent price.

Jill Schmitz

Was bummed- hardly any men's options, mostly women with some unisex. Not the best quality shirts or decals.

shannan rael

They were great! I had a book order that wasn't correct and they fixed it without any issues or making me feel like I was a bother. Great customer service! Esther is amazing!

Tiffany White

Recently returned as an Alumni, and it's so nice to see the bookstore being kept up so well!

Cory Hicks

Nice staff, fair to good cleaning. Usually pretty quick.

kitty killencakes

Very nice place, nice but overly cautious people, has a lady at the desk follow me around from a distance, then went back to the desk after I left the area. Can't blame her, I looked sketchy. Everyone was nice 👍 …

Lorann Dennison

Nice clean, has variety of w UnM wear for all ages. Definitely a place to stop at for Lobos fans, gifts galore...

Krystle Archibeque

Was getting a passport with unm bookstore, it was efficient and fast.. everything I needed was at the facility! The applications, photo for the passport, everything! Really great experience!

Ron Apee

Lots of gear to buy. Prices are really high tho

Jacqueline Mead

Friendly, professional staff...great selection of books and tee shirts...check them out soon!

Oliver Riggle Pérez

The UNM bookstore is truly awesome. Beyond the fact that it's vast, the staff are friendly and they carry the finest Lobo merch available. True, the bookstore sells books, but if you need ANYTHING UNM, the bookstore should be your only stop.

Christopher Dixon

The attendants r hospitable and kind including a smile to brighten ur day.

Satyan Patel

The staff is friendly, so if you need guidance they are willing to help. Never had an issue shopping here for the past 25 years on and off, and will miss them.

Vanessa Harris

I love the store just inside the first front door. There are excellent snack options and reasonable prices. It is an expensive bookstore though. I saw some of the shoe prices and some of the school gear prices and quickly concluded that I would not be shopping much here.

Megan ABQCC

Great customer service! I ordered some mugs online and when they arrived, they had broken in shipping. The bookstore took full responsibility and were very quick to send me replacement mugs. Thanks for the great service!

C Yaz

Went here after many years...wanted a couple of books for personal reference -they didnt have, they didnt know what i was talkg about. Forgot about their medical bookstore. 🤔Various items to choose from for the Lobo fan. Used Parkmobile for the first time. Visitor parkg is a short distance from the bookstore... a plus! 😊 …

Bill Evans

Passports Saturdays, 10a - 2p Check or money order Bring Birth Certificate and Dr. License or Both Parents

Ihunanya Okechukwu

It's got the stuff you'd need. Just personally compare your prices elsewhere first as with any business

Teil Plont

Good atmosphere. Good customer service, professionals to handle questions are on site and ready to help. Busy times, book purchases at beginning of semester, and book returns after semester, they are well prepared to handle the influx of traffic. Textbook are obviously available, purchase new, used and rentals. Leisure books also available. Apparel from hoodies to frisbees also available. Bathroom upfront and clean. All office supply available, including printer cartridges, staplers and pens.

Shelton Bruce

The bookstore is generally well stocked with clothes and books. A lot of people who work there really do try to help if something is on backorder or you have an issue. A few things are expensive but that's the nature of books and certain clothes brands.

Deborah Sequoia

Great facility. Small bookstore, but good selection of books. About 1/2 the store devoted to promotional items, shirts, hats, sweats, license plates, stickers, mugs, etc....staff friendly. School supply section in back. Along with computer and electronic section.

Andrew Hahn

I always advocate finding pdfs when you can or getting books second hand or at least direct from the publisher. But if you have to get obscure or special prints, they're okay. Also they have quality writing supplies and good engineering paper. +1 star for starting to stock my favorite fountain pen safe notebooks.

Jordan O. James

The UNM book store has been the old standbye for any UNM student to get their course books. Over the years they have done a decent job of trying to stay competitive considering all the book resellers who have moved into the surrounding area. Most everyone is friendly and actually knows what they are talking about when you have a Q.

Kyle Sprosty

Nice campus bookstore with tons of UNM related clothing, memorabilia, and of course...books! I came here to visit the US Passport Center, which takes walk-in applications for passports. Slightly busy, we were there for 30 minutes total.

Joe Page

Large bookstore will a good selection of Lobo Gear. Inclusion of a Satellite Coffee bar inside the store was a nice touch. Had a good children's section, but its under repair/renovation right now... i hope it stays around.

Ben

The text books are more expensive than if you were to buy them on Amazon however the money your spend here goes back into the community 2 fold. First by way of fair taxes and second because the profits serve the University of New Mexico mission and it's student employees. Further, they offer a huge selection of office/school supplies, non-academic books, clothing, as well as computer and technology products. I recently used the Passport service and I would recommend it if you don't want to drive somewhere else to get your photos done.

Rosalind Benoit

This spot is pricey, as University bookstores generally are, but they have a great selection of books apart from textbooks. I've found some good cookbooks here. Also nice selection of "Lobo gear" of course, which is not cheap but high quality. UNM students and staff get a discount. Very friendly staff.

Richard Rockett

Conveniently located at Central and Cornell NE, the University of New Mexico bookstore has virtually everything a student needs to succeed academically, from the expected class texts and supplies to computers and peripherals. As an authorized Apple retailer, the offer a nearly full line of Apple products at student pricing. Additionally, the bookstore carries an extensive collection of UNM logo mechandise, a small but respectable recreational book selection, and a small coffee bar. The staff, predominantly students, are friendly, knowledgeable, and talented. Everyone here lives customer service.

Joseph T. Page II

Been using UNM bookstore for the past few years. Decent service for textbooks (not rating price, since I didn't price compare); they've got a tech corner for computers and digital gadgets. There's a section for print photography, presumably for the Art Studio students. One Major Beef: This main campus book store is virtually useless when trying to get online materials for classes at *other* UNM campuses. Let me say that more clearly: if a shared History or Math class is using the same damn digital book... you CANNOT purchase it at Main Campus if the class is at another campus. Same text, same price... cannot buy. Stupid, stupid rule. Whatever happened to "Buyer Beware"?

Alex Hill

They price the casio 300ES calculator for $60 when it is $13 on amazon, definitely an overpriced store. Especially at the techden area. Amazon usually has better deals Edit: Looks like they fixed the price. Humanity has been restored

Samantha Forbis (S.F.)

Can put stuff on bursary account bill and got an awesome manga calendar. The operations management book was the cheapest at this bookstore compared to every where else (including online). Love the clearance section.

Natacia Murray

I love the atmosphere here. The customer service is excellent. And there is a good selection of supplies. The clothes and bags are always super trendy.

Noman Tully

It's all good people are nice thanks to all that works in the book store

Thomas Franich

It's your typical college bookstore. Outrageous prices for textbooks is standard faire. There's plenty of UNM merch and a few necessities. Staff is usually friendly and helpful but expect to wait for service.

Leslie Trotter

Excellent choices, but the sizes of the clothing run a size larger than normal.

A. B. Custom Solutions

Pretty helpful folks...high prices but that is to be expected at a university bookstore.

Debbie Mendoza

Friendly, helpful staff. Large selection of products. The prices are a bit higher but I like to be able to support my local university.

DeMia Harlow

I always seem to get the nicest employees at the bookstore. Love the apparel.

Cobrasnake 159

A lot of the supplies there can be found at lower and fair prices. The clothing is unique. The books are over priced and only and few are needed because of the access code.

Brian Eagan

Friendly attentive staff, wide selection of items. No line to check out at cashier. Large selection of items for sale online as well.

Robert D. Romero

I went to get my Passport renewed and it went really quick and smooth.Great place to get it done.Everything in on place.

Jim F

You can buy a UNM alumni shirt and folks will think you got book learning. $20.

Andre Brown

Quite possibly the friendliest bookstore I've ever been to! Store was closing soon but they accommodated me and gave me time to look. Very cool experience. Thanks!

JL

I like shopping for lobo wear, and picking up supplies.

Kay Rice

Great store! Really nice person helped me with a textbook question. Great UNM apparel. Nicely displayed. Got a good parking place even!

William Buss

I visited the UNM bookstore many years ago (70s/80s). It now has an atmosphere that is very commercial and seems designed to appeal to the stereotypical undergraduate who attends football and basketball games.

Kobina Kyeremateng (Kobby)

Great shop with lovely staff

Rick Isaacs

Pretty decent selection of books, generalized art supplies, bags, and tech. Is it pricey...yup. but it offers supplies here in town now.

md bellah

Great customer service

'Bishal Raj Khanal

It is good to get books and materials conveniently at the bookstore and, there is definitely a price you have to pay for this convenience. I find stationary a little expensive here, compared to other nearby stores.

Marty Martinez

just stopped in to get directions around campos .but the outline of the interior was well set up.

Debbie Jo Almager

Great customer service helped me find textbooks I needed through a search done for my classes since I didn't take list in.

Gardner Elsik

Book prices are good...tech store had what I needed. They are doing a great job at social distancing.

Eric Mazzie

Everything is mad in China. Go figure. But nonetheless, if it fits its meant to be.

J M

Went to the passport service. Super nice and helpful the girl that attended me in there.

Christina Alarid

Cool lobo gear, costs an arm and a leg and maybe a finger or two... But the bookstore part has been more competative in pricing as of late...

Judith Jermark

As a UNM student, I find all books needed for my classes here, as well as books that cannot be found in other book stores. Great staff and service.

Miguel Ramirez

Good place to study, friendly staff, and very busy so be prepared to wait in line.

Chris Colaf

Okay prices, super convenient for a student. Good if you need something in a pinch.

Francesca Tobias

There was no wait and the employee was very helpful and kind. Great experience!

Maya J

Great prices for student. Way too big of a section for school spirit clothes in comparison to books.

Andrea Calderon

Pricey but nicely organized. Have felt a hawkish presence from the staff a few times I've been there which I would prefer less of.

It's overpriced. You're better off shopping at any of the many local stores in a block radius for all non book items
