Re: Rolling Backpack vs. Duffle

I got a new one today at Staples for $29. I got the one that was the roomiest! I got my last rolling backpack 2 years ago and it finally busted out in the bottom. I think no matter what you get it may not stand the test of time - we've got some pretty hefty books!

Get a PDA and you won't need either. You can't get all your books on PDA, but you will have the ones you need all the time in your pocket.

Re: Rolling Backpack vs. Duffle

I used a rolling backpack for class days. I had so many books in it, it killed my back to wear it. I could not fit all of my books in a regular backpack. For clinical days, I used a Jansport backpack. It only had 1-2 books, a few notebooks, food, water, and clinical supplies in it. (about 15 lbs so it was not that difficult to wear)

I got a rolling duffel from Wal Mart. It is listed as a weekend bag for trips, but it works great

I really like the rolling luggage kind over the rolling backpacks. That is what I plan to use.

I love my rolling backpack. It's so roomy, and there is no stress on my back, arms, or shoulders.
