St. Cloud State University's Husky Bookstore — Local services in St. Cloud

It's the only bookstore on campus! Materials have always been available for me when I've gone looking, but I try decently hard not to buy materials from them anyway—they're expensive. As a service, they sometimes don't list the appropriate book for course materials online through their course materials finder tool.

I ordered my things weeks before the semester started and they still haven't been delivered to the bookstore. As a student that needs these for classes, not having them is not acceptable. Do better, and be more...

My daughter did pseo, and we returned all books and they charged us saying we didn't return. They don't answer when you call and you can't leave a voicemail. They don't respond to emails either. Very unprofessional. Finally got ahold of someone and they did the books the wrong way for pseo students, but I did get my refund. The girl at the bookstore was very helpful once they...
