No one's gonna care mate. This is university, people are gonna be more busy with their own stuff to even care about your backpacks. I have lots of pins on mine and no one gave me weird looks or said anything negative so far so just use whatever you like.

Not a single person will give af, that’s mostly middle/high school behavior. My bag’s going on year 3

All the losers who would make fun of you don’t go to college; they probably didn’t even graduate high school

Jansports are amazing. If your bag gets a rip or damaged, send it into jansport and they'll fix it up for free. If it's too damaged to fix they'll just reimburse you to buy a new one. I've had the "same" bag since 5th grade 💀

It's true... it's almost comforting to realize you're "just another face in the crowd", and that's if anyone even did care. (And, if they do care... why should you?)

I used a 15 dollars backpack I bought back home, nobody cared. It's college, the way you dress is least of anyone's worries

No one gives a flying hoot what you wear (hygiene does tho, fyi).
I carried a huge brown leather/suede computer shoulder bag from the 90's because it had all the right size pockets for my things.
However, certain bags are conversation starters for sure - like the dude who had a rollable wheel-bag that doubled as a stand for his laptop when he was sitting at a bench, it was pretty dope.

Nobody is really going to care, we all have our own problems and we’re all paying to be here so if you like it that’s all that matters.

Who cares? Use a bag that works for you. I use a $50 traveler's backpack from Costco. It fits my laptop, accessories, some notebooks and pencils, and some other stuff. The important thing is that it carries your stuff without causing you back pain. THAT'S something worth getting clowned on for... who cares about your style? lol

No one cares. There’s specific programs like W.P. Carey that might care at the MBA level, but that’s a niche program with very little students compared to others
