I am really considering getting this rolling tote in black. It's really cute for nursing school, but I'm wondering if it will last the whole 2 years with our many books we will need. What backpacks or totes are you considering?
P.S. Do you notice the little nursing symbols on the bag?:)

That's soooo cute have you read any online reviews about it? Make sure you do that before getting it, because it may fall apart after a semester. I have a North Face backpack that I've had for about a year now. I LOVE it. I carry books and my laptop in there, and I'm surprised because the support is so good. The previous backpack I had hurt my back and shoulders, but I had just got it for looks.

I actually have this tote lol. I got it from my campus bookstore and I love it so far.
I'm glad you loved it. I just ordered it.

i got tired of carrying the heavy nursing books, so i saw a youtube vid where another student nurse broke the spine of the book and just took out the pages. I did that, it was kind of painful seeing the extensive book torn apart, but it saved me.

I had that tote for nursing school also. Now I use it like luggage for the lake or short trips. So yep it is durable considering I bought mine in 2007.

I had one like that. (I will preface the following by saying I am one of those people who lug everything to class) The weight of my books squashed the wheel...didn't break it, didn't bend it, I mean like "holy moly pull off in the berm, I have a flat on my school bag" squashed. The following semester I bought a JWorld rolling backpack. I ended up liking it better because it has lots of compartments, and I have used it the last two semesters with no problems.
