what type of backpack is good of a college student?

mypbandj

I'm going back to school and will commute to the campus two days a week. I will spend the entire day at the campus once I get there and will not have easy access to my car. I need to carry everything (including Mac Laptop) in my backpack or bag. Any suggestions?

Answer
Don't bring your books to class unless the professor actually requires you to do so. This is pretty unlikely though. I think out of my 4 years of college, only 1 or 2 professors made us bring in the books.

You might also want to see how it goes with bringing your laptop. Many students get sick of bringing them to class. Plus, some professors even have rules against using them during class time. I never had a strong need to use one during class. Printed notes and pens worked fine for me. Plus, without a laptop, you won't have to worry about it getting stolen, running out of batteries, finding a plug, etc.

But, if you are set on bringing your laptop, look for a padded bag that you can carry on your back. I also like bags with several inside pockets to carry things like pens, makeup, keys, cell phones, wallets, etc. That way you don't have to carry an additional purse.

Backpack for college student?

S

I am looking for a backpack with side holders for water bottles. It would ideal have two or three pockets. One main one for books and a laptop, a smaller one for other essentials, and a smaller one for smaller things. I'm looking for something stylish and not too expensive, under $100. The most important part though is that it's not huge. I have a swiss army backpack and it has everything I need but it's bigger than I am. I'm looking for a backpack that has the ability to hold a lot of stuff, but when it's empty, to be able to collapse into itself I guess. Not like fold up and go into a purse but fold up and be a smaller backpack. I guess I don't know how to explain it. Any suggestions?

Answer
Have you tried eBags? They have a huge selection on, well, bags and while they do have some pricey items, they also have a huge selection of backpacks and messenger bags at reasonable prices. Plus, they also have seasonal sales that offer discounts along with free shipping, etc.

What do you do to prevent bed bugs from following you into new home?

noodles

I'm a college student and I brought all my stuff home for the summer, unknowingly into a bed bug infestation! In a few weeks I'm getting my own apartment, the only things I'm bringing are books jewelry boxes random stuff but no furniture, clothes laptop backpack and some glass dishes. I'm so scared to bring the bugs to my new place hire contagious are they? I haven't been living there but my stuff is there ave there's five people living there. Every time I come over I get bit just sitting on the couch. Any advice? Can they get into electronics? Well they really be in my books and paper things? I'm terrified and a poor college student my family is to proud to admit the problem

Answer
It is very common for people to be "to proud" to admit that there is a problem. Bed Bugs have nothing to do with how nice of a house you have or how clean you keep it. Most people we deal with have very nice houses and travel a lot.

I would wash and dry everything possible at the highest temperature for at least 25 minutes. This will kill all eggs and bed bugs. In electronics I would use Diatomaceous Earth in a duster you could buy from a pest or professional landscaping supplier. Very lightly shoot dust in and this will kill any bed bugs that come in contact with it by drying out the waxy layer. Never use the "over-the-counter" sprays. This normally makes the problem worse because it drives them back into the walls. Usually it takes a professional with the expertise to combat a bed bug problem.

What is this pocket on my backpack for?

best backpacks for college students with laptops image

I don't know what this type of backpack is called, but you sling it over your shoulder, you know, the types you associate with holding laptops, quite popular with college students.

When I'm wearing it, on the side that faces by body, there's a large pocket, it has zippers on the top of the pocket and on the bottom, so if both are open there's basically like a tunnel thing.

What use is it for? I've seen it on others as well.

Answer
I've see a few that are like this that I believe is used for flying purposes. You should be able to slid this backpack onto the handle of any of the many rolling luggage bags you've seen at airports. This is so that you don't have to carry it on your shoulder but instead slip it over the handle so it sits neatly on top of your rolling luggage.

Thanks.

I heard the Heckler from Northface is a good option or some from Jansport?

I want a lightweight and durable backpack. Since I'm a girl, I have a small frame & back so I'm looking for one that can fit my back & still feel light if I put notebooks/laptop in.

Specific brands would help!

Answer
When I was in undergraduate school my parents bought me an LL Bean backpack and it was very durable. I had the deluxe book pack I believe. However, I think the original size would have worked just fine. The deluxe does have two compartments so if you have a laptop you can put it in it's own compartment so that it does not get scratched by your pens and notebooks. This backpack is extremely comfortable and it has a lifetime warranty so if something goes wrong they will replace it for free. You also have the option of getting it monogrammed with your initials if want. I hope this helps. Good luck with college this fall!

PS: My brother and several of my cousins used the same backpack during college.
