The Ohio State University Bookstore is a large and well-stocked store that offers a wide range of products, including campus course materials, Ohio State-branded items, clothing, gifts, and LEGO sets. Visitors often find everything they need, supported by friendly staff who are helpful with books and recommendations. The store features collaborations with brands like Lululemon and Nike, reflecting the university’s sports culture. While the bookstore provides a nice shopping experience with many choices, some areas, like the Barnes and Noble section, are more focused on retail and branded merchandise than books, and the selection of academic titles can be limited. The store also has a coffee bar, though it is sometimes closed early during busy times. Prices vary, and some items are expensive, but there are options for different budgets. Overall, it is a popular place for students and visitors alike, offering a mix of practical items, university spirit gear, and a welcoming environment, making it a good place to stop by during visits or on campus.
This was a really cool bookstore. I explored it as a new student and really enjoyed the variety they offered as well as the price. For a college bookstore, it offered everything a student could need and want.

If you wanted anything Ohio State, they had it. Typically over priced buying from a campus store...but they had it all.
