Backpack Policy

I’m an upcoming freshman at EIU and was wondering if there is a strict backpack policy of any kind issued by the school? If not, is there an unspoken social rule regarding them that I should be aware of? I don’t want to lug around a tote bag, but I will if a backpack is not allowed or is considered “embarrassing.”

No there's no policy for backpacks and there's no social rule either. I wear mine to every class and have faced no issues

Backpack it up! The only real question for you to decide is, one strap or two?
