What a STELLAR Bookstore. I was in here on New Years Eve and it was extra fun and bustling. Because…read moreof the holiday, I think it was extra-packed, so we couldn't sit anywhere; however I typically think it's a low-key, quiet spot in which you could sit, read, or meet-up with someone. This place has a little bit of everything: a magical children's book store and reading area, a card and stationary shop section, a traditional bookstore (mostly gift-type books in my opinion) like coffee table books or very boutique, aesthetically-pleasing books, and there's a coffee shop with pastries inside too. Obsessed! They HAVE IT ALL. I can't wait to go back when it's more chill and enjoy the beautiful ambiance, architectured building.

My daughter did two semesters at Coastal Carolina, and my son did three semesters at Western Carolina, before transferring. They are both very happy at AU and proud of the school they attend.

My kids like their classes, their professors, the food in the cafeteria, and their housing, and have made wonderful friends there. I couldn't ask for more. As a parent, not much is better than when your kids are happy.

They have cut waaay back on the new book area & it's no longer worthwhile imo with the very limited selection, mostly running to Gay & Black Literature . Sad they can't have more diversity.

I have also had bad experiences in person, where reps are having conversations with other co-workers and completely ignore me as the customer while I am standing in the front of the line.
