I have a bag from New Look and, because I'm doing a Photography course, I have a big Canon camera bag and getting a Billingham camera bag when the student loan arrives, expensive but more hard-wearing and stylish :smile:

haha

My friend has a River Island backpack, I have one too and you can fit everything in there, they're like Tardis'!! :P

Depends what you're going to be using it for.
If you're bringing your laptop, some folders and chunky text books, you'll probably want to be a big rucksack.
If you're packing a little less, you could go for a manbag/pouch.

Try TK Maxx - they have a whole range of stylish but simple ones that go with everything :smile:

I just got this one...

Which has worked well for me so far :smile:

I have an Eastpak chocolate canvas messenger bag which is large and hard-wearing. 30 year warranty, friends! It has a built in laptop section too. I got it on ASOS for £26 instead of RRP £90 because apparently it was ~~so last spring~~

definitely worth stalking ASOS now and again, they're forever clueless when it comes to gauging actual quality goods > :smile:

That's a great idea, that way if you know you've got an important lecture and you'll need your laptop and a few text books, you can use a backpack and vice versa. :smile:

I got a messenger bag off eBay because my current bag wasn't suitable for my laptop. Then I remembered that I wouldn't need a laptop for my Maths degree.

Pick any bag you like, you could even use whatever you've been using for college if you don't want to buy a new one. You don't even need one bag specifically for uni as long as you have at least one big enough for your folders etc - if you already have oversized handbags or big canvas bags then consider just choosing one of them each day.

A satchel. Like Indiana Jones.

I've got a superdry satchel but its too stiff, heavy and the rubber has rubbed and it just doesnt look that great after not using it for that long :/.

The bags I want at the moment are jansport, eastpack, those vintage rucksack style ones ( http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/bo/boden-canvas-rucksack-mb055.jpg ), or those duffle bags ( http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/content/ebiz/urbanoutfitters/invt/5850440330023/5850440330023_Navy_l1.jpg )

Just get one that you like the look of but is practical, i mean if you have a laptop and will take it out make sure it has room/ a pouch and as well make sure if youre carrying papers that they'll stay straight.

I used to have that camera, epic! I got my Canon bag off Argos for £50 and currently just use it for storage, the Billingham is from Wex Phptographic, cheaper than the original brand website at £159 :smile:

I recommend Lowepro as well, they do some awesome side bags and rucksacks for photography equipment and last a lifetime if you're going for comfort rather than style! Try Amazon as they do them cheaper!

Anything else? :smile:
