They're around everywhere on my campus. It's usually the computer science majors at my school that carry them. They have the Java/CS hefty books and a laptop with them to lug all around campus and to the parking lots (and trust me, Lot K is a waaaaaalllk).
I also knew a girl who had back problems, so she couldnt to the tradional backpack route, there was less strain with it on the ground.
They do cause problems though, they take up valuable space in lecture halls, and they do bump into ppl, but they usually apologize for it around here.
