Bags at Vandy

Hey everyone, I’m starting at Vanderbilt in the fall and I could not be more excited!!! I’m just wondering what people there generally find is best to use to carry all of their school supplies. I’ve used a North Face backpack all throughout high school and it’s served me well, so should I buy a new one for next year or would I be better off buying something cuter and more fashionable? What do people find is the best balance between practicality and fashion?

Just bring what you already have. Once on campus, you can determine what you need and get a new one that you desire.

Plenty of northface and patagonia around. For more dressed-up ones, a ton of people seem to have those Herschel backpacks. And then of course srat totes for the upperclassmen girls.

Honestly you don’t need much beyond a laptop, a notebook, and a couple pens and pencils. I was fine with a smaller north face.
