Backpacks?

by STA29

Ok so I have a lot of big heavy books I need to carry this semester. My question is what kind of backpack do you all use/recommend. I don't like the ones with wheels so any other suggestions besides those ones would be great!

Thanks

Just dont buy Backpacks on wheel from Wall Mart.I spend 30 dollars and the zipper broke not even half way through the semester.Invest in a good quality rolling bag,and if you dont have the money just figure it out which books you need to carry and leave some of the heaviest one at home for studing.That is what I did.There was no way I would carry 1000 something pages pediatrics book,instead I took notes and it worked just fine

Spend the money on a rented locker instead. You are going to be a nurse, its time to start taking care of your back. There is no need to be lugging around 30lbs of books everywhere you go. Get a smaller backpack and make trips to your locker. Your back will thank you later.
(While I'm still on my soapbox, don't make your kids carry heavy back packs to school either...young backs need flexibility not compression)
