I use one of those Swiss Gear laptop backpacks. It's been nearly 6 years since my parents bought it for me and the only physical deformity is that the hard rubber(?) piece on the top handle is partly torn. Only downside is that it is a bit pricey; mine was around $120 but it was worth every penny IMO.
I got a north face one, had lots of pockets and a rape whistle.

North Face - Slingshot. It lasted all four years and had plenty of space for all my crap, plus it didn't weigh a ton when I filled. It also comes with one of those hip belts or whatever that's called so that all the weight doesn't get put on your shoulders
I did the same thing all the way through p3 year. I remember the zipper pull tab broke, so I had to ghetto rig it with a paper clip and key ring so I had something to grasp and move the zipper. Was too late in my academic career to invest in another backpack, wasn't going to get much use.
On rotations, since I no longer needed to carry books or multiple different notebooks, folders, and binders, I went with a laptop bag.
I like the High Sierra Tank - can double as a briefcase/overnight bag after you graduate.
Don't forget the matching lunchbox.
Of course! The one that comes inside the backpack when you buy it. If it didn't come with the pack it's not legit.

I think I've settled on the North Face Surge II; it seems pretty solid. Any North Face horror stories or has everyone had a pretty good experience with them?
The guys and girls at my school are all about messenger bags - some of the girls just get over-sized fashion bags too. Looks professional
LL Bean worked great for me. Got the basic black.
I also had a tactical bag from the local army navy store.

horror stories? we're talking about backpacks here, right?
the one with pikachu on. it is so adorable.
After your bag rips open while you're running and spills the contents onto the subway tracks, you'll wish you bought something that wasn't cheap.
I did, too. I mean...it's a backpack.
