A question for students! :)

Indeed, I'd much rather have my backpack as well. And that bag you mentioned does look very durable and very functional. :) That way, I wouldn't have to buy several over the course of my college days. :D The only reason I mentioned the looks thing is (not for a fashion statement) but I don't get to treat myself to anything really nice. I just was hoping that maybe (although it doesn't have to be, it's not a requirement or anything) that I could get something with a nice little design or something. :D

In your case, I'd carry a backpack with part of the books and a shoulder type bag for the others. I'd hate to try and put that much in any single bag.

That seems like a good idea. :) Because I have four classes and they are all on the same days it would probably be wise to carry a backpack. (My camera and stuffs can be carried in their case. :D)

I still have two backpacks that I got at old navy when I was in high school. They got me through high school, college, sleepovers, hiking trips... they are so durable!

That's easy to solve - get a good rucksack, and a couple of fabric markers! Instant personalization! :)

I got my backpack three years ago at TJ Maxx for about $10, and I love the design on it. I still use it now for college.
Here's the only picture I have of it right now. (the last picture)
