WHMDBuy one at your college's bookstore. I think most colleges have one with the school seal on it or something related.

They'll definitely be at your bookstore and will range from 20-40 for a good one.

 

DO NOT GET ONE with a college seal...you know how many people have those? Everyone during my on-campus recruiting/information sessions had one. Get a quality one without the seal--it looks really tacky.

 

Don't listen to that fashionista MadCatz... absolutely nothing wrong with a college-sealed portfolio. If "everyone during your on-campus recruiting" had one, why do you feel the need to 1-up everyone else...? Firms aren't going to judge you based on your portfolio and so many people have the college ones that they won't think a thing of it if you also show up with one.
