The hill is great. You can find most of your school needs here. There is a price match on textbooks so make sure to use it. It is very clean and everything is very easy to find. Prices can be pretty high here so I would be aware of ehat is a fair price before coming in. Other than that, great experience and I am glad that this is my school's bookstore.
very very very bad service, I ordered books online for rental, my total was 90 dollars for everything. A few days later I found out that I got charged 152, thank you to my bank that they sent me a notification about this and reported this to UCI bookstore immediately. They said they don't have those rentals and are charging me for the new books that's why the I got charged 152. My question is!!!! if you don't have the book then don't charge people!!!!!!!!!!! Don't show them the options!!!! Some people get charged when their account balance goes below a certain figure and which is what happened to me. I have to pay a penalty to my bank fr something that I am not responsible for...... Disappointed!!!!
I love spending time in this leftist leaning store every time I'm in town. I am always glad that it continues to do well & thriving. I make it a point to spend $$ here because we must all do our part to support the stores we care about.
Was charged full price for a book I rented despite my online receipts showing I purchased it as rented and the price was that of the rented price in the total. When I got there to it pick up, the receipt said I was charged full new price and my bank account reflected this.
I asked to return the book and they said because the return window had closed the day before they couldn t do anything even though I had just received my item that day because it had been on back order for a week. That my only option was to drop the class which I can t do.
Very upset about this because textbooks are very expensive and this set me back a good hundred dollars whereas the rented item would have been twenty. Won t be coming back here to rent textbooks, rather go to amazon because at least I get notifications when they want to change my items beforehand.
This is a really great place to be and to find different things for your student. Not only they have books but they have a lot of sports wear lot of clothing, mascots , toys, all kinds of UCI supporting School supplies.
As an Anteater, I come here quiet frequently. Not only for school supplies but for electronics and gifts. I once forgot my C-port adapter and headphones, and luckily they carry all of that. I also did my 2019 Christmas shopping for my family there; they loved their UCI sweaters and shirts. Sometimes I buy myself some school spirit merch bc why not?
Good place and friendly employees!
The Hill is a great place to buy school essentials since it's so accessible to every student. However, you will pay a convenience premium on pretty much anything you buy. Overall, it's a nice, convenient place to buy your school supplies if you're out of time/options, or if you don't mind paying a slightly higher price. The staff is friendly and the selection is great.
One of the sweetest campus stores ever. The merchandise had the customary school apparel, however,they also carry a wide variety of unique and quaint gifts.
They're old! They're old books! It's an outdoor book market! I've found some terribly amusing and wondrous old books there. The prices are up and down, the experience is scintillating, and the location feel like heaven.
This place feels old worldly, and real worldly. I've never not seen a large crowd of people in the book-park yard. It's fabulous here.
