New rider Which bike to get?>

I am a freshmen in college and recentyl got my license taking the MSS course. I have never owned a bike but love to ride. I am thinking between a Katana 600 or Volusia. I know they are different but I have never really ridden and like both of the style and feel of both. I am just looking to get a bike which I can use anywhere and will last me. If there are any other bikes anyone can recommend then feel free.

Thanks
