<p>What are you going to carry all your stuff around in?
I don't know if I should get a new back pack, or a messenger bag, or one of those one-shoulder bags.<br>
I should probably get something I can put alaptop in though, right?
What are you guys geting for college?</p>

2

<p>Easy to use, holds laptop, popular.......many different styles.</p>

3

<p>if you are used to carrying lots of books, perhaps a regular bookbag is most convenient as it distributes the weight better. I don't know. whatever fits your style best i guess.</p>

<p>Did you use a messenger bag in highschool? Well, if you need to carry big books, don't use a messenger bag. I tried it once and my back and neck and shoulders just ached and ached. Use a normal bag. If you aren't carrying much of anything, use the messenger bag. I don't know about the trapezoid bags, but then again, I don't really care.</p>

5

<p>I don't know where you will be going to school? Metro/Rural? Weather? I am at a metro campus and messenger bags are the most popular because they are the most useful. As for filled with books? I don't know too many students who don't return to their room during the day and as for classes back to back.....three maybe. You need to think a bit differently.....you are not away from home on campus and you are not doing 6 classes back to back.</p>

6

<p>i'm going to WUSTL, and it'll probably be a 10-15 minute walk from my dorm to my classes</p>

7

<p>The dorms at WUSTL are all very close to the classrooms. I cannot speak to that campus as for popularity but I can tell you that East Coast is messenger bags.</p>

8

<p>At my school, the boat bags that LL Bean sells are hugely popular.</p>

<p>Saw a really nice red Quiksilver laptop backpack today, and I'm tempted, or else get a messenger bag.</p>

11

<p>anyone know of a nice inconspicuous laptop backpack? manageably sized and hopefully able to hold a 17" laptop? I can't seem to find one that doesn't scream, "Come rob my expensive ware."</p>

12

<p>The American Eagle University Tote....</p>

13

<p>Um... i bought a longchamp tote. it was kinda expensive but hey.......</p>

14

<p>Tote bags? Since when were those popular with the youngins? I'm not talking about those tacky magazine/caprisun totes, either.</p>

<p>thats what it looks like. i think its cute......</p>

<p>I like what I ended up doing for a bag. My first year we had a week long orientation before classes started and I was so freaked out that I wouldn't know anyone or wouldn't be able to fill all my time up that I brought fabric with me to make my school bag. It was seriously a really good idea to have something definitive to do while I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing. Not the answer for someone who doesn't sew though.</p>

17

<p>I use a gym bag, but i really think i ought to move to a messenger bag.</p>

18

<p>for girls, i love caseclosedbags.com. they have some really cute stuff</p>

19

<p>I just bought a Champion normal backpack that has a kind of pouch I guess you could call it that holds my laptop in place. That way, it's not a conspicuous laptop backpack, but still keeps my laptop secure.</p>

<p>Ima use my black og jansport backpack that I've had all through high school.</p>
