So students use backpacks at all in college?

<p>I was just wondering for next year, any opinions?</p>

<p>i carry all my books by balancing them on my head.</p>

<p>When I walk from class to class, I hold all of my books in one hand, my notebooks and pens in my other, I slip my water bottle into my bra and all of my pants pockets are stuffed with my wallet, my cellphone, and certain other things a woman might want to carry around.</p>

<p>Some students have tote bags, others have shoulder bags and many have backpacks. You can use whatever you are comfortable with.</p>

<p>Bike messenger style bags are much cooler.</p>

<p>I use a backpack....and can't imagine making it through college without some sort of bag (backpack, messenger bag, giant purse that some girls use). It's not like high school where you can run to your locker between every class. Most classes won't require you to bring your textbook (especially in big lectures), but having a bag makes carrying notebooks or binders and your wallet and pens and pencils much easier.</p>

<p>yeah most people use a backpack or at least a messenger bag or really big purse..</p>

<p>Is everybody else seeing a Macy's backback/messenger bag adverstisement to the left of this thread? Big Brother?</p>

<p>yes haha i was just thinking how creepy the accuracy of these ads are -- but yes, everyone uses a backpack or bag of some sort in college, just go on any campus visit and you'll see that</p>

<p>The site is probably set up so ads are relevant to the topic of discussion. A sports board I frequent gets some weird ads on the "off-topic" board. If people are talking about sports uniforms, ads for Eastbay or similar appear. If we have a discussion about boxers/briefs/sports bras/whatever, we'll get ads for anything from Nike bras to Victoria's Secret to AE Boxers. Smart advertising IMO.</p>

<p>Wait, that means you guys see advertisement other than the Google loans section? I have refreshed this page at least 10 times and all I get to see is loans... And I am not even interested in a loan. Never was and I won't be in the near future.</p>

<p>You guys gotta get Adblock Plus.</p>

<p>Of course, why wouldn't they?</p>

<p>Some of the questions people ask...</p>

<p>I would say less than half wear backpacks...</p>

<p>I used one on Mondays last semester because I had 4 classes in a row.</p>

<p>I'm seeing a "Test Masters SAT Courses" ad.</p>

<p>I have a Macy's ad for backpacks.</p>

<p>That Fossil messenger they're advertising looks pretty nice.</p>

<p>I have a wendy's Ad...I guess its because we don't have Macy's in Canada.</p>

<p>The Fossil bag does look nice... except it costs nearly ninety dollars. >.<</p>

<p>"I slip my water bottle into my bra"</p>

<p>lolwut?</p>

<p>thanks for all of the serious responses!</p>
