Campus Corner Store — Local services in Norman

What can I say about OU’s bookstore? Overpriced , RUDE staff, and just another way for OU to siphon money from me. I waited for almost 45 minutes to do a return, because apparently athletes (full ride scholarships, mind you) are more important than me so I got ushered to the back of the line while they had their materials paid for. I went to return a rental book, the lady looked through it, past all the writing and highlighter that almost rendered the book useless to me, found some water mark that I doubt was from me (and by water mark, I mean a drop of water in the middle of one page) and said “wow, I better call the manager about this”, like I had returned a horribly abused, useless book. Made me feel horrible. When I went downstairs to return a book (separate occasion) the male manager was causing a scene and acting like I was a disgruntled customer who had been complaining, which I hadn’t, made me feel really awkward so I finished the return and left, for the last time. I don’t write bad reviews, but this seemed important. DO NOT BUY MATERIALS HERE. Try the bookstore off campus, Amazon, of half...

Just have to brag on a few employees!I purchased some items on a game day, right before closing time and the store was busy. Well somehow an item didn’t make it into my bag and I didn’t realize it until I had gotten home.

Well I just have to give a huge thanks to the ppl workin that night and realizing the mistake and setting it back to be claimed and then today Patrick was so nice and helpful!! My item that I didn’t name it home with is in the mail and Patrick provided me with a tracking number as well! The store itself is great, lots of differ things to chose from and service is great, friendly staff, and very helpful!!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Above and beyond and it’s very...

Only buy from OU's bookstore if you absolutely have to, it's just another higher education racket. If you need a (somehow not illegal) custom edition textbook, try bumming a Ratcliffe's coupon off a freshman and go there instead.

For regular textbooks you'll find much better prices online from Chegg, Amazon, et al. Use Slugbooks to search multiple rental sites at one.

Don't count on getting much money from selling textbooks back to the bookstore; a mint copy of a textbook gets 50% back max. Other places online buy back for more money (again I recommend Slugbooks for searching multiple sites at once).

For those unfortunate times where I've had no choice but to deal with the bookstore, I've found their selection somewhat organized and the staff friendly, although you'll spend a lot of time waiting most days and especially on game days or the first...
