Are they always the same design? I remember them being quite big/bulky.

I actually really like orange...it's a very common colour in my wardrobe. Though for bags I usually prefer classy black/brown leather messenger bags.

The colour seems to bounce between bright and conservative colours. My classes extremely red bags caused a backlash the following year so they ended up with grey ones

I think the one's for the 2016s are my favourite so far. Love the burgundy!

I absolutely hate orange but I'll be willing to take any damn color, including a pattern like this:

Hopefully, it's a nice shade of orange if it's orange. As long as it's not an "I pissed in my pants" or an "I puked all over myself" shade of yellow-orange, I don't mind.

+1

 

Also I wouldn't mind a nice shade of green, blue, or even purple!

some kind of styling burnt orange perhaps?

 

Ha - how are we so sure it is going to be orange anyway?

2004 was bright blue. However, it was a different style (taller bag), and there were many defective bags in which the shoulder strap ripped after a few months - therefore it's uncommon to see these around still.

for the year when i get accepted to schulich (uwo) i hope the colour is bright purple :D

[Big Bird]

Apparently micro-floral print is in this summer

When do we receive our backpacks? As early as O week or later on? Also, a side story:

 

I was in Hamilton for a weekend a few weeks ago unrelated to med stuff and I ended up having to take someone to MUMC. I was sitting in the emerg waiting room and a youngish man walked in. I thought to myself "I wonder if he's a med student?" Then he turned around to leave and I saw it. The backpack! I grabbed my husband's hand and gasped "Look!" Of course he had no idea what I was on about and when I explained it he said, "wow, you're an even bigger nerd than I thought."

 

Well now this nerd will have her own backpack!
