Binghamton University Bookstore — Local services in Town of Vestal

This is a nice facility, and it looks quite modern and fresh on the inside. However, in terms of school supplies, this place is a complete rip off. Often times, you can buy a new book online for the price of a used book here. Pencils and Pens are also sometimes double the cost of where they would be found elsewhere.

BU bookstore has been renovated and the top floor has been re opened for good! All the BU merchandises and apparel are now on the top floor for visitors and incoming students and families.
