<p>like a carryon roller suitcase for airplanes? although i think it would count as a larger size carry on. Usually i bring it for 3+ day stays but would it be appropriate for calso? do most people just bring backpacks?</p>
<p>I brought a small suitcase and I was fine. People brought lots of different things. Some went with the suitcase, others brought duffel bags, some with backpacks, but it really didn't make any difference. You can just drop off whatever you bring in the dorm room and they have luggage checking for the second day.</p>
<p>if you dont have to travel from the airport to cal & back.... a duffel is fine. i had to travel so i brought a rolling suit case, then carried a back pack during the actual calso cuz they give you a lotta stuff.</p>
<p>A backpack would be the best way to go.</p>
<p>^
pretty much just clothes is enough and a small backpack + pen/paper + money</p>
