caribee backpacks are pretty good.

carhartt, burton and north face bags are always good and stylish

tho id say if you really got money to burn buy a headporter...the very best bags going around imo

lol.

not even i'm this worried about the start of uni.

That said though, my ol' trusty Eastpak will serve me well I suspect

i'm a big fan of gravis bags. eastpaks are great too, but might be a bit small for some.

This is exactly what I do. There isn't really any need for a bag.

What happens when you need to bring a 600 page text book for a tute

I personally thought the idea of a messenger/laptop bag nice. Be sure to check that theres enough room for laptop + folder/textbooks.

I bought a nice brown leather one from David Jones the other day. Some are on sale for $130

i'm just gonna use my old school bag.

In the end it all really comes down to comfort/practicality/personal style.

Messenger bags hurt the shoulder, so don't stuff them too much.

Last year alot of people at usyd (guys and gals) were carrying those country road duffel style bags.

The girls all like oversized handbags. I suggest Sportsgirl, Equip, Glassons etc for some student budget friendly finds. Some of them go simple with a "supre" type bag.

The guys either have a backpack/messenger bag... or nothing at all.

Hope that helps...

In the end try not to stress so much about the bag... everything falls into place eventually ... trust me.

Hardly ever needed to bring a textbook. On the odd occasion i've carried my 2,500 page book around in my hand. Didn't see the point of using a bag just to carry that.
