Would anybody recommend this for carrying college books?

This bag is not made to carry more than two textbooks at once. I wouldn't even it use it for that because the bag material is so soft there is zero structure to the fabric at all. All that being said, I get comments on the bag wherever I go. It looks great! The leather straps are functional and combined along with the width of the straps give it that old European look.

The bag is certainly rugged enough to carry college books. The size of the bag is probably good for 2 books or 3 small books.

My highschooler says that although it can carry a lot of weight it doesn't have much space, but it could carry a laptop

I use it for work...I carry my iPad, folders, papers, etc. It will hold at least 3 books without any problem. I like it because I can "hook" it around my neck and it is comfortable enough for heavy loads. The plus...it has a zipper to keep everything inside in case you have an "accident" and drop it..nothing spills out...I love it!

I would say be careful to review and understand the capacity of this bag,I would say small thin books,not large biology type books...

I use it to hold my wife's laundry detergents an such. I think a reasonable amount of of books would not be an issue

It seems pretty sturdy. It has a metal frame on the bottom, not just the plastic wicker. My daughter uses it at college and puts books inside. It can hold a few books, a gallon of milk or a small dog. I can't think of anything that would be small enough to fit inside that it could not hold.

I find it perfect for college students. However, I think it might be too big for high schoolers. Too big is better than too small though right? I must say though, most of my class-mates have smaller bags. It really just depends on you personal preference. If you have monster textbooks, a computer, and more, this bag has the space. It's really heavy as a result, but that's just going to happen. You can't really get around that.

It probably will hold them, but then nothing else will fit. In my experience it has good capacity for student life and city conditions and its with out a doubt the best laptop carrier I ever owned, good padding to protect your computer and good space for books and other random stuff.

That's what I use it for. I really like it. The only negative is the bag is a little narrow so some books are a little tight. I would carry my lunch, gym clothes, 2 notebooks, planner, scientific calculator, three medium textbooks, a water bottle, chrome book it's charger, and some other little things.

Yes, it would probably be fine. I have some books and things, but not too heavy. My biggest problem with the unit is that it kind of sways from side to side. The doors didn't fit well, so I have some shims underneath one side to stablize. They are hidden, but without them, the doors are not aligned. Hope this helps!

Yes, this will be big enough for college books and your Macbook. I actually had to return it because it was too big for me.

Yes it will hold it... But you wont be able to used one at a time when you have it open with College book will take all the space. But it can hold a 5 inch thick book... I used large books too..

Not really. Without the bladder you get an extra pocket, but you won't be able to carry any traditional size textbooks.My wife used it for notebooks and smaller books. She says the only thing that doesn't fit are binders.

It's designed to hold DVD's/Blue rays. So as long as your books are about that size that would work.

I don't think it would hold enough books. They are too thick. I went to law school as well and most of us used rolling carry on bags for our books and laptops. Eventually I wound up getting a locker, which I highly recommend if they are available at your school. If you were only carrying one or two books at a time this bag would be ok. Good luck with classes.

Absolutely! This bag is very large. It doubles as my bag for school. 4 college level books with a two inch binder and I still have room for a snack, my wallet, and other incidentals.

I think it could handle the iPad Air, MacBook Pro 13, and a couple of notebooks. The addition of the books may be a little tight.

As a college student, I use this backpack everyday, carrying my binder and my quite hefty think pad w series laptop and its large brick-like charger. I would say that Ive had no issues with it hurting my back the past year that I've been using it.

To be honest I would have to say no if your text books are the same size as mine. I can however fit one and a keyboard with it being a snug fit. The backpack is very padded and I don't believe was intended to haul books when the bag is full. Works great for everything it says though.

Yes. I've carried it with me in my backpack a lot on campus. I've never worried about it. It seems to be sturdy in most respects.
