Great service, but university bookstore prices are university bookstore prices.

Amazing staff.. although some items are cheaper elsewhere you just want to buy something from here!!!

Nice store but not many options for UMKC shirts.

Great place for Umkc Roo wear

Reasonably priced and friendly service.

Love this place! Very attentive staff-- I was helped right as I walked in to the store.Lots of cool items in store.

The people working at the bookstore were very helpful when trying to find books for particular graduate classes, and were equally helpful in helping me find a backpack that would fit my 17 laptop, which is fully returnable and comes with a 3 year manufacturers warranty. Not too shabby.

Helpful staff and it seems like they try pretty hard to keep book prices competitive.

The service was impeccable. A young lady found, what I could not find, by looking harder than I did.More inventory items would be great, but selections were still pretty good. Personally, I wish there were more alumni items.My wife matriculated at the Katz School of Pharmacy. I earned my MBA from the Bloch School of Business. We are eternally grateful for this fine college. We liked it so much that we still live within a mile from UMKC, in Brookside.I really wish I could remember the name of the young lady that assisted me, because she was outstanding! I was there about 11am today, 9.25.18.

Its easy to get to for needed materials or just to look around.

Books are very competitively priced! No I dont work for the bookstore either. The prices for all the books I have researched are very competitive. I cant speak to the price of other things. in general, many of the professors are conscious of the cost of the textbooks they select, which I appreciate.

When I first toured UMKC, they boasted a bookstore with the “cheapest prices available.” As a current student, I can assure you to not drink the Kool-Aid. They have an online tool that you can use to compare prices, but they leave out so many websites and even many listings on Amazon. I expected what they told me to be the truth, so I ended up spending over $500 for my first semester books. Luckily now I have learned my lesson and was able to buy my books online for second semester. For example, my Spanish 315 textbook was $135 used here, but I was able to purchase it for only $39 online. Only buy your books here unless you absolutely have to.The bookstore itself is clean and fully stocked. T-shirt’s are reasonably priced, but do not expect to buy a pack of pencils for typical retail price. They sell fashionable clothing on a random rack on the store. If you don’t have a car and desperately need a cute outfit, I guess this could be helpful. Students work at the store, so they are understanding and informative. If you are looking at buying a new MacBook, the Bookstore has them in store at education pricing. Be sure to take advantage of tax-free weekend in August!

They really want to see you succeed. Love those guys

Staff is always nice and relaxed, yet prices, as could be expected, are heavily inflated. Never buy any textbook here if you can help it. Clothing options are decent, but nothing entirely special.

Very overpriced. They gave me a quote estimate of $1200 to rent all 7 of my books. And I ended up renting 5 books and even buying 2 of them off Amazon for $193 total. Avoid This bookstore at all costs. Only use it when absolutely necessary due to time constraints. But If you ever do use it, It has pretty much everything you need.

Has everything a student might need. From ramen to phone chargers. Staff is always friendly. Prices are definitely hiked up though which sucks as a broke college student.

The guy who has run the store for years is cool, but the store is overpriced. Book buybacks were a rip off.

Clean store, well organized. Mark ups are sadly the same as large, national for profit bookstores like Follet, and they claim the missouri system created them to get us stuff at fair prices.

This place has everything you need to be an awesome person!!

It is 4 days before Christmas and the employees were friendly, helpful, and professional!

Proud to be UMKC Roo... Have Roos merchandise at affordable prices.. great discounts on textbooks and apple products..

Nice selection of spirit wear.

Books are insanely overpriced. I only use the bookstore if I absolutely cannot find the books anywhere else.

Thanks for the helpful staff and quick lines at the busy start of the semester.

Always great to see what new school spirit fashions are available

Everything in the bookstore is highly overpriced. Considering the target population is students I think they should try to provide more reasonable prices.

The staff is really nice and helpful but many of the stuff they sell is way overpriced

I love getting the UMKC business acessories. The staff is always cool!

They are friendly and helpful.

Nice selection of college gear.

Great place to study, quiet and clean.

Good one ! Prompt service

Fast and free.As a student, get books from everywhere.

Long lines. Terribly overpriced. Pencil that costs 50 cents at Walmart costs 3$

Awesome place to buy school supplies and memorabilia! Staff is very friendly but could use more backup on registers when the midday rush of students come in.

Very helpful associates, prices on books and supplies are comparable to market prices.

Highly over priced with very strict return rules. If your family comes in from out of country and gets you the wrong gift expect that you need to find something else to use that money - even if you dont need anything. Staff is friendly enough for a university store lol. Dont expect amazing at all, mediocre at best.

Um buy anywhere else its cheaper

The most friendly staff and management

Pricy, but they always have what I need..

Far too expensive and theres no good reason for them to price gouge. Dont buy your books here, they will dick you on the buyback!

I enjoy this place

Nice people, University prices
