do you use backpacks/messenger bags for school?

[Samus Aran]

i pretty much stopped using any sort of bag for school after my first semester of my freshman year at college. it's usually just pointless when i only have like one textbook and a notebook to carry to one class anyway.

I use my messenger bag so my laptop can travel safely along with anything else I carry along that day. Mostly random books and papers

IT'S PRETTY

I use some laptop bag to carry my laptop and charger, one or two books that I'll need for the day.
I usually just carry my moleskine notebook and a legal pad out of the bag



Legal Pads are the best way to take notes in lecture classes

I use a backpack and I have one composition book in it and one notebook and sometimes a book and some pens and a few pencils and one highliter and that's what's u.p

Backpack. I have 3-4 classes a day within a small time frame and my campus is rather large.

I use a laptop case/messenger bag since I can bring laptop around and also writing things

I usually use a backpack
Even if I only am going to one class, I tend to stop for either breakfast or lunch on the way there and it's nice to have free hands for a plate and cup. Even when I don't use more than a single folder in most of my classes.
In the rare case that I have something to use a laptop for, I can shove it in my backpack too. None of my current classes are remotely note-heavy; the most note-taking I've done in one class period so far was less than half a page with generous spacing in Discrete Mathematics, so it's not worth the trouble to bring a laptop to type

When I lived off campus, I hardly used one.  You don't really need one if you're not traveling far.

When I moved off, my roommates bought me a backpack and I've never looked back.

I use this cool red corduroy backpack for literally everything and I bring it everywhere. it is like my purse. I traded a burnt disc of wu tang songs for it.

I use a really cool 1980's boyscout backpack I got out of my uncles attic that I've hand sewn patches of places I've been to on. I use it for school and any other time I need a backpack, not to small, not to big.

I didn't use one at all last year, but I use a backpack now that I live off campus.

It has a permanent collection of items, consisting  two books, an iclicker, a phone charger, two notebooks, a flashlight, headlamp, two pairs of gloves, a small saw, a knife, some wood glue, a scale, a tape measure, some pencils, some rubber cement, and an adjustable triangle. Oftentimes I keep a light hoodie in there too.
