Reviews of Howard University Barnes & Noble Bookstore

Karen Rogers

The Howard bookstore had everything I was looking for. Plus some items that I wasn't; but when I saw them, I just had to have them. It didn't dawn on me that I planned my visit during "move-in" time. It mattered nonetheless though, as supply was more than sufficient. The bookstore staff were very helpful and exhibited great customer service. Overall a great shopping experience!

I really enjoy the Barnes and Nobles Howard University Bookstore. It had such a diverse selection of books to choose from you could get lost there forever. It's a very chilled and laid-back environment they have a Starbucks adjacent to the bookstore but I didn't patronize that job I really was more observant of all of these beautiful books while I was visiting in town for work. The only downside is that the store closes at 5 and if you're an avid book lover you may need to find another Library or get there earlier

Pricey...but you can find sales and mark downs in the back and on the second floor. I like that they carry Howard authors. I visited during homecoming. For all the chaos, they kept the store fairly clean and the lines moved. I cannot speak to the a academic book offerings.

Brittany Bell

I was in a bind and needed my online order immediately. The HU Bookstore staff - Kirk, Armani and Alex went above and beyond to make sure I had my items. It was a special occasion and celebration for a friend so their thoughtfulness and patience while going the extra mile meant a lot. I appreciate their consistency in customer service, especially the manager Kirk. True Bison excellence. Many many many thanks!

My wife is an alumnus so this is the best place so get paraphernalia. Friendly staff. Security watched me a little too much but she was doing her job.

Bob Nunes

Very cool place I did not realize that there was so much Howard University merchandise in the store I did purchase one T-shirt that I wear at homecoming in 2022

Tanisha Felder

So many choices. HU, you know!

Theo Ogendi

It's a Howard University theme Barnes and Noble, had great appearl to show that Howard spirit, well organized, you can tell that the staff takes pride in how they operate. Great selection of books including an African-American section with interesting knowledge on the culture and history. OUTSTANDING!

MEEK MILLI

Great Merch , need more inventory on certain things.

M H

Good apparel and cashiers we're quick at check out.

My cousins from out of state wanted to purchase some Howard gear as a souvenirs; but we had to use the restroom first. We asked the staff but they told us we would have to leave to do so. So, I planned to shop fast. I guess the staff assumed we would leave and not shop, so one of the male staff member (young man with a short cut) followed us around the store. I guess he assumed we were going to steal. We went upstairs to look at the books, and discovered that the restroom was open and available. So, we ended up staying a little longer. However, the male staff member continued to pop up and stand around where ever we were. There was one staff member (a young woman with crimson hair) who was nice to us, and didn't treat us like street rats who had wandered in off the street for the restroom. She was very helpful, and I truly appreciated her assistance.

Mia A. Rapier

Great selection of clothing and a accessories at all price points. There is a Starbucks in the bookstore too 👍🏽 …

William A L Clay III

Great and they have all which is Howard University !!!

Carille

Wide selection of Howard apparel and paraphernalia. Clothes and knick knacks are on the 1st floor. Books (fiction, non fiction and academic) and school/office supplies are on the second floor. They have intermittent sales but I think the prices are on the high side for college kids to afford. (I say that having never been to another schools bookstore to compare prices.) T-shirts start at $15. Most hackers start at $35. All clothes are quality name brand, mostly Champion.

Strangely merged with Starbucks. Coffee shop is popular with students, seating is limited. Adjact book shop has lots of student texts, and non related books, general interest books etc. There is a second floor access by stairs or if you ask there is an elevator. Often there are book sales, I've bought a lot of interesting books for good prices. More paperbacks are available near check outs. I go to meet a friend have a coffee and then move in B&N to browse. There are spaces if you look where you can have a makeshift seat and browse more deeply.

Anna Sumner

No returns or exchanges on graduation stoles. What an unfriendly policy.

Stacie

Location is good. Store is very large, lots of school apparel to choose from.

Jessie Davis

It’s a school bookstore connected to a Starbucks. They are loaded with Howard University Merchandise and Bison Pride! Bonus is they sell merchandise for the Black Greek Letter Fraternity and Sororities so it’s a great place to pick up gifts.

gena campbell

Great University Store; staff was very friendly and helpful.

Black Man

Great customer service. Need better shirts for the prices.

Anthony doc

Their Greek section was very small and not a lot of variety of clothing/items to purchase.

RaymondGW

I come in here whenever there is a wave of nostalgia that crashes into my brain and I need new HU gear. It's a cozy little bookstore, with the first floor being dedicated to school merchandise and the books on the second floor. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I hate the new Bison logo, but that's not the bookstore's fault.

Nikki G

I was shopping with my mother and son. We was in the store for a while. I couldn't find my size in Howard Mom t- shirt, so I purchased other items. The store clerk came up to me at last minute with a shirt she said was a medium. When I got back home to Texas and unpacked. It was a small. The hanger showed medium, but the shirt was a small. I tried calling the store for a week straight and all I got was the voicemail.

Chels Owens

Nice selection of general Howard stuff, unfortunately nothing really for the professional schools, like decals and clothes. Staff is a hit or miss, half the time they are friendly, the other half they are rude and mean.

Dr Mike

I'm a Howard grad so going back to the bookstore, though it's new, is great. Lots of great merchandise. Grabbed a cap and a sweatshirt. Go Bison!

J.A. Rollins

I graduated from Howard in the 1970's, then went on to graduate school some place else. Since graduation I've self-published a number of books. It would be nice to have a special section in Howard University's book store where its graduates could have their books posted. Every quarter Howard proudly shows published books by its alumni in the Howard magazine. Even at Harvard, Yale, and other Ivy league schools, they have a section reserved for its alumni that have published. It would be nice if Howard did also. J. A. Rollins

Elton Levingston

They have a half off snack rack by the refrigerators! Prices are a bit to the high side but the selection of Howard apparel is good. Not much Greek apparel.

Dwayne Barnes

My daughter loved the University. Great tour guide and information session. Answered a lot of questions and concerns about going to a school in the heart of DC.

JT Surgeon

This is your average college bookstore, but that being said the people that work there are always happy to help you and they are always friendly. The fact that the bookstore is connected to a starbucks is also a plus, giving students a study space with WiFi in addition to the space on the second floor.

Bhagyashree Panda

Great place for quick shopping of gifts, momento and essentials near to Howard University.

Alexis Hill

Even though I'm not a Howard students they have a good selection of books and I love how you can go in the study as well and the young lady that helped me was very friendly!

Mel A. P.

While they don't have a large selection of books, the books they do have are interesting and great ones that may get over looked at large stores. Also, they cater to the students. You can often find autograph copies of books as well.

Chelsea Andrews

Not bad. Sometimes the sale section pops. Can be kinda costly but its a school bookstore...Parking can add up. Overall, you have a variety of priceable items!

Lisa Ogburn

The students at Howard were so kind and helpful to us "old people"! So good to know that manners and respect still exist in our youth. #faithrestored

Erika Barger

Awesome place to be. The author and main character of, Hair Like Mine was there. It was crowed but not uncomfortable. It was Homecoming weekend. #FORWARD

Edward Parsons

HU is the birthplace of a preponderance of black greek letter organizations...specifically, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Waking through the campus take you back to a time in which academic excellence was paramount. Additionally, the young men and women that attended Howard, then and now, represent everything good about academia. A must visit.

Wanda Seay

I love the bookstore. The staff is professional and helpful. I bought a diploma frame and other Alumni items.

T Hare

Good service. Needed more counter service. Line to long for one cashier and one making coffee. I am speaking about Starbucks. I did not solicited to book store.

Jacqueline Farmer

Friendly staff and large selection

P

This is my alma mater!! I love the bookstore evolution since I graduated!

Regina Davis Hollis

I love the gear& murch I find here. My HU

Greg Brightwell

The best selection of book titles I have seen in a book store. Frederick Douglas, Ida B. Wells, WEB Dubois. Not the stuff you are going to find at your local Barnes and Noble

Khalia Hill

Probably normal price for paraphernalia but I think that's expensive. Very little size options in the clearance section.

gaye huff

Wide variety of items to purchase. Prices were not nearly as high as I had assumed they would be. We found some very good deals!

Lats Me!

Oh, how I love collecting items of my alma mater! And the book collection is superb! Yet, discounts/bargains are far and none.

Angi

Welp, it's a college bookstore. Everything is overpriced. But generally, nice place to get Howard gear.

Smart Kitty

Very nice place to get coffee at the starbucks inside plenty of comfortable chairs all over to relax and unwind and read a book,buy school supplies very clean excellent customer service

MsTiffany

Loved the Bookstore. Very well organized. Staff wasn't too helpful but it just allowed me to search more and see more. Loved it!

Annette Brewster

A place where you can find anything Howard and more. Friendly and helpful staff! Attached Starbucks so you can replenish before and after you shop. #howardmom

M Daniel

The cashiers move long lines with ease, nice selection of HU gear, and if they dont have your size available, they will hunt for it.

Bequia Crews

Great staff!! Great merchandise options. Bring your shopping money...because it can be expensive.

Real Lyfe with Modica

Loved this campus, Students seemed motivated to be there, I was surprised that so much negativity goes on right down the street from it.

Otheo Muse

Nice little shop. Of course the prices are Astronomical but all schools are like that. Slightly small but it works.

Dylan Marshall

Books? No. Apparel? YES. There is more clothing than anything at this location. If you need that Architecture book that's not on Amazon, this isn't your place, but If you need to show that HBCU/Howard pride, this is the place for you!

Thomas E. Stringer, Jr.

Great campus store with lots of items. Well stocked and friendly staff.
