The Georgia Tech B&N is a hybrid between public bookstore and college bookstore. As a result, it has benefits but suffers from the worst of both too.

The professional staff, the real book people, are great. The students often care less and know less about what they're doing.

There is a much smaller periodicals section than one would like and a ton of non media merchandise. It may help subsidize the books.

Parking is scarce, so transit is the way to go here.

Though wheelchair accessible, some things will not be easy to reach, nor do they keep isles with a three foot clearance.
