    A large tote bag from dkny. I find it stylish and sturdy. It isn't the most practical of course because really heavy things will hurt my shoulder but it does the job for me and I don't need to carry too much to uni tbh.

    Depends what you consider to be "stylish". I just use an eastpak backpack, but I guess that's not really what you're looking for. It's lasted me five years already and isn't showing any signs of breakage, so you can't get much more practical than that

    i either use a big flowery tote bag, or a dunlop satchel thing.

    depends what im doing at uni, might even use just a handbag if im not taking in any folders or my laptop.

    people use different styles though, ranging from big rucksacks to no bag at all, it depends what you prefer and what you want to carry round...

    I used to use a kind of satchel bag but when you ahve loads in there it really hurts your shoulder, I've got a hollister backpack at the moment but it doesn't go with everything

    you do realise noone will care about your bag. as i said before people at uni use a variety of different sized and shaped bags. its not like school where you have to have the latest fashion bag.

    you will probably even find yourself chilling in lecture atleast once in hoodie and joggers... what type of bag you have will be the least of your issues...

    I use a Mulberry Baywaster if I'm carrying folders or a Anya Hindmarch Trifold when no folders are needed.

    I use a Scaramanga satchel. It's quite pricey and sometimes feels a bit heavy, however it's real leather and looks quite stylish. I've had a few people compliment it before. They are also useful for carrying laptops etc.
