Starting my 2nd year of college in the fall. Need a new backpack. My only requirements are that it is somewhat comfortable and it can fit at least 1 case of beer (24 cans).

Any recommendations?

Best Buy has some sweet Targus ones with a nice padded area for your laptop. They are $50 though...

If you have a Marshalls or TJ MAXX around you, go check those stores out. They have some Jansports bags for like 15 bucks! The good ones too.

get an eagle creek. i have had mine for 6 years without a single broken zipper or torn seem and that backpack has been used 6 days out of every week. it might cost you a little more up front, but it is worth it. i have friends that have gone through 3 jansports in the same time period. eagle creek simply uses better materials and higher quality workmanship. i now own a suit bag and a rolling duffle of theirs too--all first rate.

I had one of those Samsonite Satchel type bags. Didn't like it too much. Very stiff and small. The zipper broke withing 6 months.
