Speaking of lockers,

We can check out half-lockers in the men's locker room at the gym on campus to store our athletic gear for the semester. There are so many half lockers that I could probably check out two of them and store books and stuff in one as well as stinky running clothes/towels in another above it and effectively have a full size locker. You might check to see if something like that is available where you go to school. I use a normal backpack carried in my Xtracycle for carrying stuff (books, laptop, etcetera) back and forth from home to school.

Backpacks get far more daily mileage in college than in gradeschool/highschool. They usually lasted about a year before wearing out until I bought a heavy-duty one that has survived for several years so far.
