Any other Ecampus students living in Corvallis who stick to online classes? I feel like in-person classes cost too much, but I really miss the social aspect. Since I live alone and do temp work, it gets pretty lonely and I've been wanting to go back to a physical classroom. Do you guys think the in-person experience is worth the extra money? Any advice is appreciated!

Hello! I currently have a fjallraven kanken backpack for everyday use. I love it, and I have waxed the outside to make it a bit more water resistant, but it’s only practical in the summer. During any heavy rainfall it gets soaked after a few minutes. It also is a bit too small to comfortably fit my laptop which I’ll want to bring for classes. I’m curious to hear what backpacks other students have been successfully using.

Ideally it would be completely waterproof, have a 16 inch laptop compartment, and is comfortable and light enough to easily commute with via bike. I’ve read a lot of reviews for bags that fit this criteria but I’m more interested in the what other OSU students actually use when walking around campus.
