I got these a few weeks ago http://www.amazon.com/Avenir-Metro-Panniers-Cubic-Inch-Capacity/dp/B00165Q90I/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1413001286&sr=1-1&keywords=panniers. No latches to deal with; they have nylon straps you can tighten on the rear rack.
Just be careful and dont get a beach cruiser!!!!! id recommend a hybrid bike like a trek 7.1 and put a rack on it for panniers so you can carry your stuff. Also if you are over weight i highly recommend a brooks saddle i have a b17 and its wonderful on my ass. Also bike shorts 4.3 miles aint long, but it will make your life much easier. A cheap walmart bike will break often and be expensive to repair. Refer over to r/bicycling to learn more if you are strapped for cash id go with this bike its a good all rounder and bikesdirect is a good company, or a trek and the seat brooks b17 bike rack panniers shorts
Once again do not buy a bike from walmart it will make you hate bicycling. Oh also rules and sheldon brown a repository of all things cycling
Best of luck to you, safe riding and Dont buy this!!
These are the ones I got. I had two pairs because I lost one for a while and they were cheap. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00165Q90I/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1371790175&sr=8-2&pi=SL75
They aren't that bad but the elastic straps they use are pretty short and the clips are under a lot of stress. It was really just a matter of time before they broke and it unfortunately took my iPad with them. I got a bike trunk yesterday that should prevent anything like this from happening again.
If you need a rack:

And some pannier that fit that rack:

All that for less than $50, so it should fit a college kid's budget.
You can always sew your own bags or fasten litter boxes to your rack.
Or you can just buy these for 30 bucks
