The Notre Dame Bag Policy 2017 says that you can only bring in certain types of bags - think clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags that are a certain size (12" x 6" x 12" to be exact). It's kind of like when you're trying to squeeze into those tiny seats on a plane and you realize you should've left that extra-large purse at home. But don't worry, it's not all bad news - you can still bring in small clutch bags, like the kind you'd take to a night out with friends, as long as they're about the size of a fist.
Now, you might be thinking, "What about my favorite backpack or lunch cooler?" Sorry, folks, those are a no-go. But think of it like when you're going to a music festival - you don't want to be lugging around a big bag of stuff when you're trying to dance the day away. It's all about finding that perfect balance between being prepared and being free to roam. And, hey, if you're really attached to your bag, you can always check it at the gate - it's like checking a coat at a fancy restaurant, but for your bag.
