    This has to be one of the nicer colleges in Florida. The staff is amazing. We hope that our son picks this college.

    The staff was very friendly and you cannot be the $5 t-shirt rack! The cause for those shirts makes purchasing them even better!

    Impossible to get in contact with the bookstore over the phone. Infinite loop of transfers and holds from out-of-country call reps asking for phone numbers and emails. I’m just trying to call the store to ask about merch’s availability and inquire about return policies. Ridiculous system and not a good look.

    I don’t know who is in charge of handling USF Bookstore phone calls, but the service provided by whoever is unacceptable. Was told by Sayan B that my order was cancelled however when I logged into my portal I see that my order is still being processed for delivery I am a online student and live a hour plus away however if I have to drive up to campus to speak to someone then that’s what I’m going to do. Wish USF employees that work inside bookstore handled phone calls to eliminating out the middle man. Highly disappointed!

    USF merchandise has been horrendous since the switch for Under Armour (just like the sports programs). I ordered a hat and a couple of t-shirts recently and it’s bad. Very poor quality materials and workmanship. They charge for shipping to you and then shipping again to return, so it’s not even worth sending them back. Don’t bother ordering any merchandise from here.

    Amazing University! Clean, spacious, safe and in one of the most beautiful cities in the country.

    The store is really nice but the items are way too expensive. I'm a student on a tight budget. Cheapest sweater I saw was $70. I wanted to rep a USF shirt or shorts for the gym. Prices aren't much different.

    If a plethora of USF branded merchandise is what your looking for, then the USF Bookstore and Cafe is your go to place. It is centrally located on campus with convenient credit card metered parking.

    Great bookstore. Lots of USF gear to choose from! Go Bulls!

    Though it is the place for all university merch and other study related stuffs only, it is a nice one. It has Cafeteria, suitable place to sit and relax. Also the place is clean.

    Fun place to visit featuring a large selection of USF logo items, besides textbooks, and student supplies. Also features a cafe offering Starbucks beverages and products. But beware, this is not a regular Starbucks...you can't use your Starbucks app to pay or earn points.

    If you order online you may end up having most of your order cancelled and still having to pay $8 in shipping for $10 of merchandise, without so much as a courtesy notification asking if you'd like to proceed or cancel your order. Maybe in person it's OK but wouldn't recommend ordering online.

    I cannot wait to see what my son does at this amazing institution!! Great campus. Helpful staff. The bookstore has pretty much everything you need. Great selection of clothing and gift items too

    I had excellent service from the entire team but specifically an employee named Meet. He worked efficiently and got me exactly what I wanted and was very polite.

    Only buy your books at the USF bookstore as a last resort. And never...absolutely never get involved with Follett Services. Please understand the bookstore has no relationship with the school, the bookstore and Follett are private companies. There one goal is to charge the student as much as they possibly can for books and other school needs. Also never use the Oasis book buy link to the bookstore, they will sell you books you don't need and they make it almost impossible to return them. The best strategy is to wait until the professor releases the syllabus, read the materials and books required for the course and buy them on line from Amazon or other source. If you have to get a book from the bookstore, buy the hard copy book and buy nothing through Follett.

    I visited the school store to buy items for my daughter's graduation on saturday. They were very low on alumni items considering it's graduation season and the prices you would think would be a bit discounted considering graduation is such an expensive time for everyone but otherwise in that the stock was good store as well kept and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. So proud my student is graduating from USF!

    Above and beyond the college book and apparel store I had back in my day! More than 4 times the size and selection, but just as friendly and courteous employees.

  • 4/5 Hillary I. 8 months ago on Google
    It’s a nice store. It sucks that they do not offer any items with the USF Morsani logo on them, though. Like - not even a water bottle or a sticker.

  • 5/5 Ruslana S. 8 months ago on Google
    Beautiful campus. This is my second time on the campus and I didn’t realize how big it is. Perfect book store with huge selection to choose from. Everything you need. I spent $300 there 😜 on different merch. Go Bulls! If you need any merch for USF this is the place to go!!! Little pricey but well worth it

    Great place and lots of USF gear! Recommend it to anyone who is looking for a specific gear from USF there’s also three floors and the first floor has books the second floor a lot of USF gear and the last floor has a couple of school supplies. The staff was really nice and helpful but the prices are a little bit too high. You could probably find cheaper stuff online but it is still a nice experience to visit the Store as it does have a couple of special USF gear. But honestly everything was really expensive and I don’t usually purchase anything there I only went there when my mother was here to visit the school.
