The Barnes and Noble within the Oxford Road Building has three floors. The top floor is where you can purchase your Emory swag.

Right below that—on the second floor—is the textbook bookstore, where students can purchase textbooks for their courses. Emory offers price matching, which allows for students to get the best deal on their textbooks. On the bottom floor, there is a classic Barnes and Noble bookstore that sells novels, cookbooks, Lego sets, and more.

⭐ Emory University History

Emory College, founded in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, by the Methodist Episcopal Church, was named in honor of Bishop John Emory. In 1915, Emory College relocated to Druid Hills and was rechartered as Emory University after accepting a land grant from Asa Griggs Candler, founder of The Coca-Cola Company and brother of commissioned chair Warren Akin Candler. Today, Oxford College is still part of Emory University, where some students may choose to complete the first two years of their bachelor's degree before continuing their education on the Atlanta campus.
