<p>just wondering...what do uf students use most to carrry books/computers etc. around...is it backpacks, messenger bags...</p>

2

<p>Backpacks, usually. Most girls just use those fashion bags (have no idea what they're called). :)</p>

3

<p>Those ugly bags with those designs? Lol. My friend makes fun of them cause they look like grandma bags. </p>

<p>But yeah, everyone usually uses their backpacks. I do and it's convenient.</p>

4

<p>Yea, they're popular though. And some of the smaller ones look good, I think. (can't believe I am engaged in this conversation now, haha)</p>

5

<p>Fashion bags?? What are those?</p>

6

<p>I found out the name. They're called Vera Bradley Bags. My friend joined an anti-group on Facebook for those who hate those bags. lol.</p>

<p>I call them the sorority bags, because it seems like everyone of them wears those bags/totes. No offense to anyone who intends on joining a sorority when they come to UF. </p>

<p>I personally wear a backpack.</p>

10

<p>My son (sophomore now) uses a backpack that has a special pocket for his laptop, in addition to a larger pocket for his books. It also has a pocket for an Ipod, with a little hole to thread the earpiece cord so you can listen while you walk to class. I think we got it at Staples, but you can probably get it anywhere. The label said it was a 'laptop backpack', but it's not too different from a regular two-pocket backpack.

<p>do people usually carry their laptops in a laptop case or just in a backpack.</p>

12

<p>Most people don't take their laptops to class. I usually just bring a notebook and a pen/pencil, no need for a backpack, and a lot of people do the same. When I go to the library or something I'll take this bag I have that's very similar to a laptop bag, I guess it's called a messenger bag, which I didn't know until now.</p>

13

<p>God I hate Vera Bradley bags with a passion and my mom keeps trying to peer pressure me into getting one. I dont understand it.</p>

14

<p>i like those little "fashion bags"...lol. I guess I will be joining the statistic cuz I definately have one..lol!</p>
