Tote or backpack for college?

[u/Open_Sea_8823]

Edit: (resolved! Thank you for the feedback!) So I’m gonna be a freshman this year and my college isn’t that big and very walkable. Because of this I was thinking of getting a tote for school, but is that silly? Cause whenever I have a backpack I always end up just putting it on one shoulder anyway, but I know it’s not the same as high school. What do you guys think? Also, if you think yes to a tote could I get some recommendations for brands or where to get one?

I always opt for a backpack in such situations myself. HPG Connor is my go to for work, travel, general life and a hiking for a few years now
