When selecting student luggage, versatility is a key feature

Student luggage usually has to perform many functions, from a trip to the gym to a trip to Europe. That tired old suitcase in the back of the closet isn’t really appropriate for the student on the go. Modern life demands that luggage is sturdy and multi-functional. Here’s some key info on choosing student luggage.

First, should you buy a set or individual pieces? Although a set may be cheaper, it may contain pieces that will rarely be used. Select individual pieces that can do double duty, if possible: good choices are an upright rolling suitcase, medium duffel and a midsize backpack. The upright rolling case may or may not be carry on size, as per the user’s preference. While the rolling suitcase is a special-purpose piece of student luggage, the duffel and backpack can be used for sports and outdoor activities like hiking.

Second, what features should you look for? The rolling case should have a locking extendable handle and inline skate wheels for easy movement. An “add-a-bag” strap is highly desirable, so you can attach the duffel and/or backpack to consolidate the load. Look for tie-downs inside and versatile outside pockets. The duffel you choose for student luggage should have a large zippered opening and adjustable, padded shoulder strap. Double carrying handles and outside pockets are also essential. The backpack should sport padded shoulder straps, large zippered opening and multi-use external pockets. A waist strap for the backpack is a nice feature to have.

Choosing student luggage shouldn’t be a chore if you take a minute to expand your idea of what luggage should do. Pieces that can be used every day as well as on trips will make the luggage highly functional and versatile.
