Backpack or Rollerbag?


I need to buy a book bag and was wondering, do you guys carry a lot of books and binders at one time?? Should I buy a back pack or a roller bag? What do you guys carry in your bags?

I am very small and cannot handle carrying 5-6 books plus workbooks plus my notebooks on my back so I bought a rolling backpack from Wal-mart. Stylish, no. Absolutely the best option when having to carry a million things to class everyday, yes! I bought mine for ten dollars, such a simple solution.

Definetly A Roller bookbag..more than likely you'll have modules, textbooks, (I have like 4 big binders). So to be on the safe side stick to the rollerbag. Towards the end of the year you can use a backpack. Good Luck

Any material we are going over that day I bring my book for that material. Anything we are going over for the next day I bring my book because we get break periods where I can study. I'd rather be over prepared than not have a clue as to what is going on. Almost every book we had to purchase came with a workbook, super helpful.

Love Re: Backpack or Rollerbag?
I have a rolling bookbag because I'm trying to be as organized as possible. I want to keep all of my books and binders together because we can always go over something that I wasn't expecting and don't want to be surprised so I just keep everything with me.

My campus has too many steps and too much traffic for a rolling pack to be feasible. I've seen far too many people struggling with them, and the elevators take forever! I bought a Swiss Army pack with plenty of room for my books, binders, and laptop. The design keeps my back happy too.

It really sounds like I have to buckle down and get a roller bag. I guess I'll try a back pack for now and see just how necessary it is, thx.

Rollerbag...doesn't look cool, but then again, your back will thank you.

This is the best purchase that I ever made...I never worried about what I could or could not load in my rollerbag...because when you don't have to carry it, you are not concerned about the weight.
