[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t most students nowadays use a combo of train and flights to get around Europe (vs it was all trains back in 1991 when I studied abroad). Assuming so, I can’t imagine why you’d want a metal framed backpack for this kind of trip nowadays. In fact, wouldn’t a lightweight roller suitcase be best, with a small daily backpack tucked inside for use for daily walkarounds. [/quote]

They are also using buses.  But, really it depends on what kind of traveling the person will be doing. If they are going to the far corners of Greece or even just staying in a lot of fourth floor walkups, I can see how a backpack might be better.  The budget is the big question.  If they will be walking from the bus station to the center of town or the train station to the hostel ten blocks away, a backpack may be easier.  But it's a personal question.  I can assure you that when I take my big trip across Europe in my 60s, I'll be using a rolling bag.  I will also be taking lots and lots of taxis.  But as a young person on a very tight budget, this would have made less sense.[/quote]
