<p>sooo when i visited ucla i noticed alot of guys here use backpacks to carry their stuff around.</p>
<p>but i didnt really pay attention to what the girls were using to carry their stuff...</p>
<p>would a big purse be good to carry my stuff around or should i get a backpack?</p>
<p>Do as you please. Why is this important to you?</p>
<p>Are you going to have a lot of stuff to carry ie textbooks? if not, then sure why not just use a purse or tote bag</p>
<p>i dont know thats kinda my question sorry i forgot to add that. am i going to be needing to carry alot of books around?</p>
<p>Dump your stuff off in your dorm room between classes.</p>
<p>Pretty much nobody brings books to class, it’s pointless unless you’re going to read them during your break or work on homework during a break.</p>
<p>All you need is a spiral notebook per class pretty much.</p>
<p>I am a parent but I feel I can help with an answer. My daughter is a freshman this year. In the first couple of years of high school she used a backpack as did everyone else. Then she transitioned to a large tote/book bag since she still carried around a lot of books. When she started UCLA she had a couple small totes for her books. She says she really doesn’t carry around a lot of books but often takes her lap top and a notebook or two. After having visited her a few times this year I would say that many girls carry some kind of tote big enough for a couple of notebooks/books. Or a backpack if that is more comfortable for you. It seems a tote bag is the more “fashionable” choice these days.</p>
<p>Yea, there is no need to carry textbooks around. If you want to study on campus, just check out the textbooks at Powell.</p>
<p>language classes use textbooks… lol</p>
<p>yeah… ppl dont usually bring textbooks. maybe one or two at most</p>
<p>Thanks for asking this question, lalala91! I’ve used a purse for like half of high school and the idea of backpacks is so foreign to me now…</p>
