The University Bookstore can be forgiven for its sometimes high prices (especially in the gift shop) because of its excellent selection of books. I'd take U-Bookstore over some other corporate chain…

The saving grace is the 10% rebate you get at the end of the year. If you're a student, you get a great Apple/computer discount but no rebates back on Apple products. I got a fully loaded MacBook for…

Textbooks are expensive and UW Bookstore makes extraordinary efforts to reduce costs to students. Save your receipts on all transactions- you get percent of that amount refunded at the end of the year.
