I don't imagine myself carrying a lot of things, just my backpack with no more than 2 textbooks?
For a short commute, any bike will do. Just get something that fits and you enjoy riding. I like the late 80's to mid 90's rigid MTB's because they were so versatile. However, just get something that you want to ride. The most important thing is to lock it up properly.
