<p>Does anyone recommend any backpack type for boarding school? Are any particular colors not allowed?</p>
<p>I saw every kind of possible existing backpack when I visited and revisited schools, Im going to NMH in the faill, I dont think they (or any other school) prohibit a particular color.</p>
<p>I’ve seen every possible brand and color of backpack at my school. I’ve never heard of any color being banned, but if your school has an arch-rival, and your pack is the color of the rival school, be prepared to hear about it from some kid who is overly invested in the idea of the rivalry.
I have a keychain fob that happens to be the animal that is mascot of our arch-rival’s school. One day at lunch a kid I didn’t know tried to give me trouble about it. I was new, so he figured I was fair game, and started sneering at me. I told him I was, in fact, a spy from the rival school sent on a mission to undermine our school through my keychain fob. He glared at me and rolled his eyes, and stopped talking. I still have the keychain fob. </p>
<p>Get the backpack that pleases you.</p>
<p>My biggest suggestion for this would be to either not get a black backpack or find someway to distinguish your black backpack from the rest. I don’t know about other schools, but at Deerfield there are so many people with black backpacks that it is not uncommon to grab the wrong one.
So get a red one!
A blue one!
Put your initials on it!
I don’t know, I’d just say to stay away from the black ones if you can.</p>
