HFCC alums or current students

So, do I really need a rolling backpack for class? I have looked at a few threads, and asked one girl, who said she always took a bunch of books to class, and definitely needed the rolling pack.

But for those of you who have actually attended nursing classes at HFCC, is this really required, or do you mainly leave your books at home and just bring a binder or whatever to class?

Very excited to be buying supplies, but don't want to spend the cash if not necessary, ya know?

Thanks!

I bring my rolling pack, but I'm kind of a nerd that way.

I bought one and I used it first semester but it became cumbersome dragging it up to the second floor so now I use it as luggage! Plus you never need that much space for class stuff either. But you will need a heavy duty backpack or shoulder bag cuz the Med/Surg book is heavy!

I forgot to add, too- that depending on the time of your class (say, after 9 AM) - you may have to park in Minnesota, and it is really nice to have a roller bag.

I just graduated from HFCC and never used a rolling bag. The first semester is when you will really be carrying a lot of books. And yes, parking totally sucks.

Thanks! I think that I will just get a heavy duty shoulder bag and deal with the weight. At least I will be able to use it longer, even after school is done.
