Timbuk2 Messenger Bags

Timbuk2 Messenger Bags are great for college. They come in different sizes. The large one really holds a lot of stuff - to quote one review on Amazon "It is big enough to carry about 5 textbooks, or a computer with about 3 books.~". So if you've got a lot to carry to college - go for the large one. If not - go for the medium size. They come in different designs too.
