I know you will do what you want to do anyway, but never let it be said that no-one ever sang the praises of a bag with wheels.
Much depends on what your study habits are. If you are going to stay on campus/in a building most of the time, then likely a locker and strong arms are sufficient.
In my case, I bring all my books for the day to school in the morning and return at night. This is because my primary study/work area is in my house. If I have three classes, that means anywhere from 3-5 books plus a notebook plus a laptop plus a laptop plug plus a lunch and a bottle of water. You know what? That's wicked heavy, and I am very, very happy to just zip the bag up and roll it from car to class and class to library, etc.
Stairs are not really that big a deal...just use the handle, lift, and carry. Healthy backs are a big deal, especially when you spend a lot of time hunched over law books anyway.
I could not possible care less what others thought of my use of a wheeled bag, but I can tell you that after about two weeks of watching me and another guy use ours at school every day, another half dozen students started using them.
If you are concerned that somehow a wheeled bag will cramp or otherwise impact your social life, there is nothing I can offer....
