The Best Backpacks for College and High School Students

 

A backpack is a staple of your school wardrobe—it will accompany you to class, the gym, late-night library marathons, and early morning coffee runs.

If you’re a high school or college student, you need a bag to carry your day-to-day school supplies, as well as whatever you might need for the gym, rehearsal, or a late-night library session. A good “school” backpack should survive the wear and tear of at least four years of education, as well as weekend getaways and trips back home.

The backpack you choose also needs to be appropriate for what your schoolwork requires. Some high schools still want students to lug six giant textbooks and their lunch from room to room all day.
