If you are first year, you are probably still living on campus, in which case they are of no use.
If you are living off campus i find them to be very convenient. - NOTE: for labs they do allow you to bring jackets and bags into the lab, they usually have a special drawer near your lab bench for those things - that said i find that keeping my lab coat and goggles is really convenient cus they you never forget them at home. I also like to split up what i study at home and at school so I usually keep half my textbooks and binders at school in the locker and the other half at home. (sometimes a change of atmosphere is good for when you are trying to study - or rather not being in the same stagnant room all day). depending on the classes you sometimes need to bring extra clothes like a suit or just props and things for presentations and you dont want to be carrying them around form class to class which makes a locker pretty useful. since you are in health sci id imagine that you would encounter this quite a lot through all the PBL projects you will get.
