Of all of the three places on campus where you can find textbooks, stationary and electronics, Curtin’s Bookstore is the better choice. They stock a basic range of folders, pens, art supplies, fiction books, text books, Apple computers, software, photographic paper, and you can also apply for a student Smartrider if you’re a pleb like me. It’s entirely adequate, but lord help you if they don’t have enough people manning the register. You’ll often find a line snaking right around the shop full of impatient student just wanting to purchase a darn manila folder. They don’t seem to be too rushed about stocking up on things in a hurry either, but they suffice as a student retail outlet.
