Is this bag big enough for carrying really big text books? For example, say, 3'' x 13''

I would think that you could fit maybe two books that size into it. Even if you couldn't it is still a really nice bag.

Only if you are carrying a light load. It will fill up quickly with books/binders. You might get three fullsize textbooks in the main compartment. I carry my laptop, file folders, and a notepad in the main compartment and use the outer smaller compartments for smaller electronics pens etc. If you are not a "pack rat" than this bag could work nicely for school. I would also like to point out that from all the reviews I have read about Red Rock, if you don't like it you can return it. I know Amazon has a great return policy, even if the reason is you just don't like it.

Yes. My daughter carries a 5-inch binder, average of 3 text books and has plenty of room above books to put sweaters or jacket.

I have this bag and it fits my 13 inch MacBook Air just fine. On too of that, I have room for a notebook or two.

If the mac book is 13" long, it can totally take it on with no problem as long as it's not to tall when laid on it's face. It's pretty sizable and I personally love this bag, so many pockets and it's nice to look at too :)

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.

It's great for carrying a laptop, but it can fit maybe 2-3 large 1" thick textbooks as well. There's a lot of pockets in the second zipper compartment for pens and such. So yeah, not too bad for a school back pack. There is not much room at the top for anything else though if it is full of books.

Yes it would be. I use mine as a "school bag" carrying a 3" anatomy/physiology book, papers, handouts, etc.

I carry my laptop, ipad, charger, pens, office supplies, etc. In addition I carry two binders about 1" thick and everything fits fine. I have an old Dell laptop that is pretty thick and heavy so if you have a MBP you should be fine with that and a couple of books plus school supplies. It's a very nice comfortable bag.

Yes, I purchased this bag for my nephew for school this year because he is in high school and has to carry a lot of books. It is much sturdier than his previous backpacks. It is a little larger bag but still manageable.

Probably not. May fit a MacBook 13 and one textbook. Won't fit 3 ring binder. So unless you only carry a small laptop and occasional book you should opt for something else

the bag is about 12" by 10" so it will only hold a couple of books. we were hoping to use it for a school bag but it was way too small. however, the bag is really nice and for the price is worth it to muse as a purse or bag for other items. hope this helps.

Yes it is great , I personally carry my MacBook air 13 inch and there is plenty of space for a couple of books.

I bought this bag for my 15in macbook pro. So your 13 will fit well. The bag has plenty of space for book and notebooks. I believe there may be a 13in version of this back somewhere but you will not have the same amount of storage space. So i recommend this one. It is built very well and while having plenty of space isn't a huge bag. I would say its the perfect size.

Depending on the size I'd say easily 3 large textbooks or 5 mid sized. I am not a student, but the bag can easily handle my large 17" laptop (but not in the laptop sleeve), my lunch bag, and at least 2-3 books.
