Fair selection of books, and good for Georgia Tech apparel. Seeing as it's also the Georgia tech bookstore, I expected a greater selection in the engineering and science sections. $14 for a pair of Georgia Tech socks might be a bit greedy!

Excellent place to study in and will always be filled with Georgia Tech students. Remember this is Barnes and Noble at Georgia Tech and not an actual Barnes and Nobles, there is a difference with sales.

Scammers out here on campus!

Scammers out here on campus!

They have an absurd return policy on textbooks- 1 week from start of classes. Does not matter if you don't need the textbook, does not matter if you found the SAME textbook on Amazon for about half the price, does not matter if you went in 1 day after their said policy return window. $85 down the drain.

This is their business model - scamming students.

This barns and noble is pretty small, and doesn t have a good selection of books compared to other barns and noble. However, if you are looking for college books or school supplies, they have a large selection of those!

The best place anywhere to get anything Geory Tech related. You want Georgia Tech salt and pepper shakers, chocolate or sunscreen? This is your place.They also have a huge selection of clothing. Upstairs this location also has dorm basics like coat hangers and laundry baskets. Their book selection is lacking compared to a regular Barnes and Noble though.

1 week and 2 days ago I ordered a book. Took 4 phone calls, 1 in person visit, and then a follow up phone call after I did not receive a promised call to find out that the publisher stopped printing the book.

Just got back from Barnes & Nobles to buy a cookbook. I looked online and it said it was $17.85, but once I go to checkout I pay $30 for the book. I go back and show that it is only $17.85 online and I am told that they do not price match with Barnes & Nobles online... I was then told I am "paying for the comfy chairs". How do you not price match with your online price? Will not be back to any Barnes & Nobles in the future and will continue to stick with Amazon here on out.

There's nothing wrong with the upkeep of this B&N. Everything is clean and the workers are nice. My main issue is with what they sell and what prices they sell at. This Barnes and Noble is more an overpriced apparel store than bookstore. They also sell school supplies at 3 to 5 times the normal retail price. The actual book portion of the store is tiny. I would have loved a bookstore near campus but this ain't it.

It's a lovely place for people who like a peaceful place to sit down and have some quality coffee in starbucks attached to barnes and noble . The collection of books are awesome in barnes and noble. You can sit down comfortably and do your work in the first floor. I came to Gatech for just 2 months and i loved this place a lot.

The programming selection is better than most other Barnes and Nobles I've been to, but for the amount of space used, I would have expected a greater amount of engineering and programming options. Most of the area is filled with clothing and novelty merchandise. Customer service appears to represent the student population. The 2nd floor incorporates a high ceiling near its center from the 1st floor but honestly appears to be more of a waste of space compared to other bookstore companies, meaning not very utilized. The plethora of book subjects are limited compared to other Barnes and Nobles and since they are affiliated with Georgia Tech, they don't provide membership discounts.

I'm going to have to take a star off bc......I don't like how you have to walk ALL the way from the back end of the second floor to the front end of the second floor just to go back to the first floor....The "up" escalator takes you from the middle of the building to the back of the building, but the "down" escalator takes you from the front to the middle??? Why would you design a building like that? The only other way down inside the store is an elevator, and it's ALSO on the front end of the store in a back-hallway. If you want to stay in the store and go back down, you have to walk ALL the way to the front of the store to catch the escalator or the elevator. I can't BELIEVE they would treat students like this. The fact that I have to walk all the way from the back of the store to the front of the store JUST to go back to the first floor is unbelievable! I can only imagine how horrible it must be to work in that building and have to make that UNBELIEVABLY LONG walk several times a day. I would surely faint.

and the textbooks and merchandise are overpriced.
