Reviews of Penn Bookstore

Jenny Jia

By far the best college bookstore. Incredible range of crewnecks, hoodies, women’s styles, Wharton merch, and collectibles, even during move-in week! Penn also has a renown faculty—Angela Duckworth, Adam Grant, to name a few—making the faculty-written section of books to be one of the most extensive I’ve seen

Terrell Cobb

A really great bookstore that is in the University of Pennsylvania they have everything that you are looking for and things that you were not looking for that will pique your interest

Robin Ashley Lawrence

Penn Faculty & Scholars publish fascinating works/books regularly. Great place for local Philly students & professionals to get lost in for a day. As a Non-Fiction Book 📚 enthusiast, lots of pages to turn here, on two levels. …

Dawn

I love this book store because they have just a fantastic selection as well as magazines that are sometimes difficult to find and there's a store sort of within the bookstore that has really cool household items and even some furniture. All the products and there are really unique and many are very very fun

Y. Jesse Zlatsin

Love this place—from the books, magazines, Penn computer store, and so much Penn apparel, it’s hard not to buy something. There’s also just something inviting about the well-positioned tables, so studying, working, and sipping on a warm drink from Horizon by Blue (close by).

Erine Taguchi

You can buy various stuffs from books and texts to souvenirs. There are many kinds of U Penn stuffs. So it is good for souvenirs. Sometimes discouraged books are available. Not only books for adults but books for children are available here! It is good place to visit not only U Penn related people but tourists.

Jackie S Yoon

There are all kinds of UPENN souvenirs and stationary including its logo hood and shirts in addition to books. There is Starbucks on the second floor. Moreover I finally got a SEPTA Key Card cor bus and metro at the bookstore helped by it's very kind security guard lady. I enjoyed being there.

Charles King

Although the PENN BOOKSTORE has a impressive line of merchandise, it's to expensive for the average person, not only your buying a hooded champion sweat shirt or sweat pants, due to the price, your paying for the university of Pennsylvania logo on it. It's abit rich for my taste. Go off campus, the same sweat shirt and pants will be half the price.

Maria Barrios

Nice environment, a place to enjoy, not so much to shop (pricey)

Jonathan Kine, MBA, PMP

Large bookstore, friendly staff, Starbucks Coffee served upstairs. Plug in your devices and recharge while using fast, free Internet.

Patricia Mack

I really like this book store and the African American Woman guard at the door is the nicest lady to everyone.

Joyce James

Not only the book, there are a lot of souvenir including clothes for PENN.

Alan Boka

They have a nice selection of books, plus a Starbucks to relax at.

Barry F

Well stocked, great selection of books and gifts, organized, helpful staff.

Elena Mariscal

A wide variety of books , nice swag with Penn's colors. If you're looking for Wharton only stuff they are not as many things as many Wharton alumni would wish. However there is everything you can possibly imagine from Penn from shirts to magnets, mugs and even car plates.

Mary Williams

Expensive!!! Nothing in here for any student to be able to afford. Clean and tidy. But very pricey!

Ricardo Fernandez

Young Hispanic bearded man was a great help. He guided us right to what we were looking for. Kudos...sorry I didn't get your name. Great selection of outerwear.

Mags

I have been here many times over the four years my son attended Penn. Gorgeous space and always perfectly organized with a huge variety of items both affordable and for more expensive tastes. All if the clothing and last minute dorm items lasted beautifully. The diploma frames are gorge.

Samuel Park

This place has a wide selection of books and merchandises for U. Penn gears. Prices are a bit on the expensive side but what can you expect from a merch store near campus? Overall a great place to shop.

Delivery guy

Upenn's library, a pennID is required to enter. Beautiful decoration inside with historical paintings, there are study rooms on every floor mostly underground which can be reserved online.

Jim Kolea

This is a great store if you would like to find some apparel for the University of Pennsylvania. The bookstore has a large selection. The prices are fairly expensive but I'm sure that's commensurate with the university that it's associated with. The staff was helpful and the store was clean.

eschool librarian

I uses to live near here. My sister worked here till she graduated Penn. Very nice university bookstore. They also have a wonderful Children's section.

Peter

You can find pretty much everything you need before starting your life at UPenn. You could also buy some UPenn goods as souvenirs.

Pyrus Torrel

11/2/2021 -- It's been awhile since I've been in any bookstore, so I had to resist the temptation to look at everything (but I still looked at the games & math books). The store was spacious, bright, & uncluttered with the books neatly placed on display tables or shelves. The selection isn't the largest, but if you take the time to carefully look through the books they have on the topic you're looking for, you'll find something close to what you want.

Felipe M

The one source for All UPENN! Store sometimes will offer sales online for same in-store items.

Harper Leary

Nice atmosphere and selection of books. Not nearly as many books as other Barnes and Nobles. Tons of Penn gear and books picked out from staff. Wouldn’t go here to study or read; they have music playing.

Ashwini Salve

You can buy all the different type of merchandise of UPenn here. Good concept...

Jennifer Terry

I thought some of the school logo merchandise was a bit more pricey than necessary. It felt like they were taking advantage of eager freshmen and their anxious parents who were so sad to see them leave home. There was a HUGE selection of school logo apparel, and, of course, LOTS of books. The store was huge clean and well- organized.

Anna Regina Sárközy

First of all, it is overpriced but it has so many good stuff: clothes and accessories, and a lot of books upstairs. The books are surprisingly cheap (I'm from Europe if that means anything). It has a dining area.

Jennifer Mad

Beautiful book store. Love the security that is located at the front door. Items are over price of course but if you are stuck in a bind this has the basics for school supplies and gifts for a student to take home to the family. Convenient location.

Cordy D

It was a wonderful experience. My daughter so excite to attend. What a beautiful university and the ground were well kept.

William Edwards

My first impression was "where are the books?" Most of the main floor was Penn swag. A center aisle provided a good selection of popular and awarded books. Much larger selection in the rear and upstairs. Staff friendly and helpful.we left with 8 books on a variety of topics

JAMES DELORN HOWLAND JR.

Good Service, larger building with much more seats than Barnes & Noble. I can bring my laptop computer, my books from home, my snacks and listen to music especially Smooth Jazz music it helps me to relax. I glad you are opened up again.

Z

Great selection of items, and good deals on sale items in the back. A very beautiful bookstore architecturally. Books on 2nd floor serve multiple disciplines. Various study areas dispersed throughout location. In addition, coffee and snacks available. Purchased a hat for my dad, and a t shirt for myself as a souvenir.

Jason Hightower

Although I'm not a student, it's still a great place to be. I go quite often to this bookstore. Whether you want books or a quiet place for coffee or some other beverage or food in a nice setting among books. This is the place to be in the University City area. Even the kids section has a nice charming setting as well. I also purchased alot of supplies for my studying needs. The selection is great and quite vast. Go see for yourself. You won't be let down.

Doug

All the penn gear and books u could want

Brook W4BDP

I purchased a Penn Under armour outerwear garment. I get comments on it all of the time. People love the way it looks. My Dr. even asked me about it. She likes their medical school as well. Anyway, it's a Barnes and Noble store, with all of the college stuff. I liked the clothing, a bit pricey, but it is Penn.

Eduardo Mendieta

Great bookstore with coffee shop and lots of places to seat and read.

Walter Taggart

The store is a icon on the Penn campus and I have many great memories of the time spent at Barnes and noble. I would recommend that you shop for your books in the store

Robert Rudick

The best store to purchase any of University of Penna college gear. Awesome Hats, Shirts. Sweat pants. All items reasonable price right. Their warm and friendly staff are there to assist you. Just a pleasant place to shop. Thank you for being an asset to the University of Penna environment. We love you@

Amber Watts

This is my Alma Mater bookstore and it always feels nostalgic going back in. Some things are the same and some are different. They consistently offer new and staple items at a variety of prices. I'm obsessed with bookstores but since this is a campus store it really feels like it's for the University and not the neighborhood. Last week I got a $20 sun visor with a buckle instead of the Velcro that sticks to my afro.

Kim Murray

Large store with a wide variety of books, clothing and other accessories. I especially love the top floor replete with a section of school based computers and dozens of books on learning various computer languages as well as other subjects. Also loved the fact that you do not need to be a student with a student ID to receive admittance. JKM.

Ari Colaprete

Another Barnes and Nobles masquerading as a college bookstore.

Pzev

Large store, they've got any Penn merch you can think of. The Starbucks upstairs is a nice touch too

Meiran Liu

Things are unnecessarily overpriced, as a penn student I'm not super impressed. It has a Starbuck on he second floor.

Emily Brandenberger

Brought my student from FL there. She was AMAZED at it being so Barnes and Noble and so 'gift shop'... And that's the best way to describe it. Barnes and Noble meets college gift shop. And OMG! Overpriced merchandise. Even on sale. But it's Penn. It's safe. It's clean. And it's a great place to bring a 16 yr old from FL to see a city college

Abdul As Salafi Musa Moses

That starbucks was inside a bookstore that I never knew but the miss Lady in there that works for star bucks was so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ I was intrigued to know who she was but money comes first hope to see her again I would love to take her to lunch or dinner,😉 …

K Culbertson

Very modern, airy, clean and choc full of books (as well as all of the UPenn stuff you could ever want). There is a Starbucks upstairs and plenty of seating/study space to make this both a good visitor stop and a place where students can work and meet.

Zenovia Battle

Wonderful selection of books, clothing & other gift items. Sales associates are knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. Merchandise displays are visually attractive. Great atmosphere to shop.

Rafi Hasib

It's your typical Barnes and Noble branded college bookstore, though it's laid out pretty well with ample space for studying and reading. Helpful, knowledgeable staff and sufficient registers so your don't have to take long on line. Upstairs has a Computer Connection store which used to be downstairs, so there are sufficient supplies in stock for computing. It's well situated on the campus between the dorms and academic buildings, as well as the library, making it a good place for stopping by.

Vladimir Lestat De St. Augustin

I love shopping at Penn BOOKSTORE. I SPECIALLY was blessed when I found a very profound text on MORTALITY PARADOX, and my whole world became enlightened, to have evolve as a Writer, and Formulated unpublished Litterary material on "TIME MORTALITY PARADOX THEORY". COME visit us at Penn BOOKSTORE Bookstore and invest in your Future.

W. White

Very good store. Clean and very well organized. The staff were nice and helpful. We got a few items for our son's graduation.

Elif Hatun Onal Kilicbeyli

Very expensive UPenn’s textiles, souveniours. Books are varieties from different publishing houses. Books are satisfied.

Autumn Coffey

Huge store, with a great selection of books, games, and magazines. They also sell a lot of uPenn merch and school supplies. For me, this is a great place to just hang out and browse. It's never been crowded when I've gone, but that might change during the school year.

Ramakrishna Padmanabhan

This is a large, cheerful book-store which sells a ton of UPenn-related merchandise in addition, plus has a very nice coffee-shop upstairs. Its book collection is huge, and their layout is neat and organized, as is typical in book-stores like these. In keeping with its fellow university book-stores, its prices are also pretty steep, so be prepared.

Absinthe Head

This store is conveniently located, if you work or study at UPenn. But you can buy books cheaper online. The customer service is lovely, the store itself is clean and has a lot of variety, including items for Penn pride. The cafe upstairs is nice, too, and has decent amount of seats.

James G

Nice, modern campus with kind students! Campus police is well staffed and arrives quickly. The campus is large but everything is in walking distance. The buildings have bathrooms and water fountains, and students are always able to help with giving directions.

Stevon Barnett

There is nothing like the smell of books and if you are a book lover you know what I mean. I visited here with my girlfriend and was really impressed by the selection available and at the prices offered. If you are around this area I highly recommend stopping by and checking the place out.

Andre williams

It's called Penn Bookstore, but be prepared to use your Barnes & Noble account, as most college bookstores are actually Barnes and Noble. They carry nice Penn apparel and collectables. They also have nice gifts for your family.

LuzSelenia Loeb

Nice merchandise but way too expensive

Sam Poat

I like this big University book store. A two story smorgasbord of books and University of Penn swag. There is a Barnes and Nobles Cafe upstairs with plenty of seating and even a quiet room that seats about 20 people. If you need to charge an electronic device they have a section for that by the Cafe. They conviently have escalators as well as an elevator for going between floors. Parking is a hassle but that's to be expected in University City.

Arnav Bhattacharya

It is a convenient place to shop for school books and supplies if you are at Penn. But the other stuff-clothes, mugs, etc. But it is perhaps the only place where you get Penn related memorabilia. The text book center is on the top floor as are the dorm supplies and the Penn computer shop. There is also a SEPTA customer care center in the Bookshop.

Benjamin Hoshaw

A nice big book store along with anything you need that's UPENN related. They also have a little desk with someone that can help you find anything touristy in the city, and HOW to get there. It can get a bit crowded at the beginning or end of semesters due to textbooks, but that should be expected.

Happy Smiles

I'd never say this was my favorite B&N, and many times, I don't appreciate that it is advertised as UPenn's bookstore but is slightly unfriendly toward students. The prices are rather steep for both books and Penn apparel, and efforts can be made to make it more appealing to people, especially students and Penn faculty.

Joel Yarbrough

Having just toured 10 college bookstores in the winter, Penn's definitely has the most wow

shanna bronson

Good selection of books. They have a manga section, but the choices are meh. There is a restroom, a place to fill up bottles with water and a licensed Starbucks. They have a market place where they offer convenience items and meal options. The market place has two fully functional microwaves and a check out area. There is also a computer and technology store inside the bookstore. They sell everything from clothes to books, niknaks and umbrellas. They even sell Lego's and board games. There is also an elevator.

George Thompson

So much bigger and better than it was when I attended. One small negative: way too much Wharton stuff and not enough of anything else. There ARE other programs at Penn besides the B-school, right??

M Stevens

It was nice but didn't have the clothing options I expected. Very little Wharton. Hard to tell womens or men's dept. But very helpful staff accommodating my present wrapping needs.

Howard Neil

One of my favorite hangouts.

Eugene GEINZER

FABulous book store. Expansive! A deep collection of books on heavy duty topics. Almost feels like a good library. Wonderful atmosphere. Very pleasant staff.

Duy Lam

Your everyday overpriced college bookstore. It can do better with pricing for alumni trying to buy a shirt.

Ann A

GREAT location in the city mixed with retail apparel,t-shirts, hats,etc. There's also a huge upstairs area along with a Starbucks and bank attached. Love this Barnes&Noble store.

István Szűcs

I miss the old selection of quality sweatshirts, polo shirts and children's apparel, back from the time that the Bookstore had competition.

Greg McFarland

The University if Pennsylvania's, main, bookstore is one of several on the UPENN campus. The others are nestled about cacbou--pleasant surprises for book-lovers-- and I rarely visit those, but I'll write a review once I do. The only reason I mention the other stores is because they might have a broader religious section, for those eyeing that category of book, than the main store, primarily Evangelical Christian books. However, this location bursts with historical, business, and educational materials, figuratively, spilling over. For example, if you enjoy/love history you will enjoy the selections at the main PENN bookstore. Additionally, if you are a primary educator, you will discover a wellspring of adorable, yet useful, hardbacks and paperbacks for your classroom. Lastly, for those of us, like myself, who just enjoy information, you will lose yourself in here. Hours will pass and you won't realize it, you will be immersed in a whirlwind of possibilities. This type of experience is one we all should have when it comes to books, and the University of Pennsylvania's, main, bookstore provides that. As an aside: The bookstore is currently in the midst of opening a "Starbucks" on the upper level--sorry, I forgot to mention there are two levels, an elevator, escalators, and newly installed, stairs-- replacing their Starbucks-esque former coffee shop. There was a variety of healthy snack options in their last shop, and that could carry over.

G Aquino

One of the bigger university stores around, especially among the Ivies. Merch and swag are pretty typical. Bargain books section was nice and had some interesting titles. The place is bright and tidy. They have a SEPTA ticket vending machine and the nearest SEPTA trolley station, just meters away on Sansom/36th, provides a convenient connection to downtown Philly.

Paul F

We come here at least once a year after graduating. Nice book selection, gifts and of course, Penn clothing and school items. They have a lot of school books in stock.

Stephen Eyerly

If you want Penn gear this is the place to be. Also pro tip always search Amazon for your textbooks and come here for the price match. You get the convenience of the Bookstore with the low prices of online shopping.

John Brooks

Very nice and well lit. Tons of UPENN branded merchandise. Good selection of books.

Aidan Toole

I consider it the Costco of bookstores, because it's huge. They sell way more than books. It's a good place to kill some time, grab some coffee, and browse the large amount of content they offer. This place puts Drexel's bookstore to shame.

Drew Cameron

Typical college bookstore which is basically a Barnes and Noble with Penn branding overlaid. There is a heavy emphasis on overpriced Penn merch which occupies much of the first floor. The book selection isn't as or varied and deep as you'd expect from a university bookstore, but it's ok. There's a full-fledged Starbucks on the second floor.

Garvit Gupta

Penn Bookstore is the one and only place to buy high quality Penn branded merchandise. They have Nike, Peter Miller, Champion etc. Keep in mind that products are significantly marked up though.

George Marrero

A great bookstore here on Walnut Street a lot of title books Text novelties romance science whatever you're looking for you'll find it here and if not here they let you know where

Henry Weber

Beautiful outpost of Penn University store lots of great ideas inside this place

Terrance Butler

Always neat and clean. The cashier (Jennifer, is her name) was friendly and efficient. I'm definitely going back when I get the time.

Jay Hernandez

I'm so glad to have this place in my neighborhood! Great selection, and wonderful curation of more obscure books. When I come here I want to buy everything. Great stationery too.

Yun-Mo Sung

Huge store. Many good stuffs are there.

Eric San José

Easy to see right off of Walnut Street servicing Philadelphia and the adjoining areas of Pennsylvania. Parking on the Street is available. Clean facilities. Public Restrooms. Credit cards accepted. We will most likely be going back.

C. F.

Ok I love you guys. It's a great place. But there should be some sort of other discount for students!!! A reward point cards, or anything that can help out a student. That's the only reason it is 4 and not 5.

Marian Mckelvey

I love hanging out at the book store and reading a great mystery book and drinking a nice hot cup of coffee.

Frances

Great selection of everything! Even plastic hangers!

Harriet Blanton

I like that they have a variety of book titles, the only thing I didn't like was they cut some of the magazines I was interested! I know everything is going online but when it comes to magazines I like physical copies better!

Emma Daniels

What I was looking for wasn't available in the store, but the clerk was very nice and she stated that she would place order for it and have it shipped to me! Loved the environment and vibe of staff very warm and welcoming

Michelle Lofton

Although this is part of a chain, Penn bookstore is one of my favorites in the city. It's large and spacious with plenty of seating and free Wi-Fi.

Will mason

My go-to bookstore for years. Usually stop in on my lunch break. Can find my choice of books, and new books easily. Friendly, helpful and very courteous staff!!!

C Katz

Lots of swag to show (or pretend) you went to Penn. But the place is so big that there are still some books in there. Even some academic titles. I wish they had more stuff on clearance.

Rasheed Golphin

The everything you need book store. Excellent selection. Well organized catalog. If you love books Penn is a place you would enjoy.

Charles Coulbourn

The only place to get the best UOFP Paraphernalia. Lots of good CDs. The atmosphere is relaxing. Oh! Did I mention a nice hot bowl of delicious soup? Yea Man!

JJ Chen

many options but overpriced though that is expected

Jared Rice

Staff was very friendly, and it was spacious & easy to walk around. It's basically a typical Barnes & Noble with an extra section for textbooks and Penn gear.

Jeremy Agyemang

Beautiful store. Really reminds of a Barnes and Noble. They have books for school and regular books as well. Lots of UPenn apparel if you're looking.

Alan Nathanson

The place to go for UPenn stuff. Also there's a Starbucks on the 2nd floor.

Yoon Soo Park

Large bookstore with the variety of items you would expect including items with the Penn logo. There is a Starbucks on the second floor which was spacious and convenient.

Brett Bell

The bookstore is huge, has a Starbucks and a lot of penn apparrel. They have a great program for ordering material online and coming to pick it up, which is particularly useful early in the semester when it is crowded.

Sue Schuster

This store is massive...two floors of merchandise. They have a very large clothing section in all sizes, lots of branded gift items, and books of course!

Jeannine Martine

Has A Lot Of Varietes Of Books. It Was My First Time Going. And I Liked It. Friendly Environment. Thats How I Like It. Just Wondering If They Have Book Signings There. I Would Love To Have My Book Signing Event There.

Tony Boyle

It has everything but was unheated when I was there in late December. Perhaps an environment saving gesture? Uncomfortable

Spırıt

Friendly staff & faculty members. Clean safe environment also. It has lots of options and diverse departments to choose/shop from.

Brady Santoro

Good book selection of all sorts, however, prices are incredibly ridiculous. If you want to feel good about buying books, shop at your local store, but if you want to get the best selection, shop here.

John Ogden

I love university bookstores and this is a great one. Good variety. Excellent book collection. Soon to have a new coffee shop!

G Danda

Costly but everything is costly with Penn's logo. Has a cafe on the 2nd floor with Starbucks. Good place to read books, study or hang out for students.

JD J

Quiet, lots of UPenn-themed merchandise.

Tamara Bordley

I had a wonderful time in this place and enjoyed perusing the books. I was craving it and hadn't did a book run in awhile.

Steve Wang

Good study space, has a small cafe on the second floor next to the quiet study area. Typical college bookstore otherwise, with overpriced books and school merchandise.

Salina Chowdhury

All in one for buy books and gift

C. Anthony Anderson Anderson

Great open campus founded by Benjamin Franklin. Exceptional architecture, friendly landscape that is well lit and very save at all times.

Charles Ramirez

$30 for a knot hat?!

Mrinalini

Everything is overpriced but love the varsity stuff regardless.

Bill Towey

Loads of books on all subjects neatly and logically arranged. Not a great magazine selection. Tons of UPENN merchandise and of course textbooks.

Mita M

Beautiful bookstore just like Barnes and Nobles

Quizir Black

Love it here. I'm always here. Should order more Boruto manga books

Deep Jariwala

More like a shopping mall with an slight academic and big Penn twist to it. Fun place to spend half an afternoon looking at the Penn merchandise and books from around the world.

Ji_Hea Kim

Nice cafe space upstairs. Good range of books and stationary. Diverse Penn gear, if you're interested.

Lowell Nickey

Pretty standard. Unfortunately a lot of books have to be purchased down at the penn book center. Not B&Ns fault per say but it woul be nice if they could find a way to get those books.

Carlos Arribas

Great bookstore with a wide assortment of goods.

Piers Platt

There used to be a ton of t-shirt shops selling Penn swag around campus. These days, the bookstore is one of the few spots left...and their prices are jacked up.

Jesse Cantrill

Not bad for Penn clothing, but rather weak for academic books. Needs Blackwell's to replace Barnes & Noble.

K. S.

Great Book Store. As a Penn Alumni it's always good to visit and browse through the books and have a cup of coffee.

Tomas

Large, nice and quite bookstore. They also sell all kind of things from PeeState: mugs, t-shirts, sweaters, etc. But everything is quite expensive

Therese Mathew

Good vibes! Lots of content, not just a book store. Built in starbucks.

T Ba

Two storeys of books and U Penn memorabilia. While bookstores in many universities, including Ivy League, struggle or even have to close down, Penn bookstore seems still busy

James DiMartino

A wonderful place to wander through the stacks. There is always something you need to read!

Gary Fisher

College bookstore has plenty of Penn clothing and other swag. Much nicer than most bookstores of its kind.

Ryo Lindsey

Basically everything is overpriced. However, quality of the merch is really good. Also,the bookstore has basically everything affiliated with penn.

Ant

The staff is very helpful, and the store is laid out well. Not a giant selection of books but is a college book store.

Elaine Weaver

I was staying with a family member at HUP over the holidays and the bookstore became a place to shop and get away while being convenient to shop and get Christmas gifts.

Puneet Gargya

Nice place with good memorabilia of Penn University though expensive...

Todd Felder

It's a beautiful store on a even more beautiful campus.

Xinwei Kang

I can spend whole day in there. It's a really great book store. Combine food area and book together. It's a good combination

Alok Kumar

Expensive but very spacious and organized with all variety of stuff and centrally located.

Bhairevi Aiyer

Great place to buy bargain books, and sit and chill. But pretty expensive (Penn branded items are overpriced).

Ju Xue

Nice place to study. Starbucks could use a more friendly and efficient crew though.

Jaye McNeil

This is a nice bookstore. They have a lot of events. I met the author of Never Caught there

Dana

It's a university book store in the city, so it's going to be a bit on the pricier side. It's neat and well-kept, and things are generally pretty easy to find.

Carla Castillo

Except for the sticker shock of textbooks. Even rented used are far from affordable. What a shame.

Bob Minakuchi

my favorite book store. Sales book and UPenn goods are available. there is space to have drinks and snacks in second floor.

Ka Jit The

Great place to buy Penn university souvenirs. They have nice coffee shop on second floor too

Great selection of books, office supplies, and UPenn paraphernalia for students and visitors alike.

Other than the elevator usually being out when i have loads to carry, its a good place to visit
