Can this bag be used as a backpack?

no,it's a duffle. you can carry by double handles, or handle at each end, or shoulder strap( as long as a baggage handler doesn't break yours)

Possibly, but there is no padding on the straps, so it would be very uncomfortable for any period of time.

No, it's very big, almost as tall as an average person, and it has no plastic base slider.

This bag is so big, its seriously more like luggage. Maybe the same bag in a smaller size maybe but this one specifically is really big.

I use it as a handbag. Its just big enough for my laptop and one book. If you were to use the strap it would be just like a laptop bag. I love mine!

This could function as a school backpack, but that depends on how much you intend to carry. A laptop will take up some space and the rest can be notebooks; that would work. But the books you intend to carry are pretty big, then this probably won't work. I carry my laptop, a binder, and two notepads and it's pretty full.

Yes it can. I use it as an overnight bag. Fitting shoes, makeup bag and clothing. It's expandable too! Love this bag. You can also get the matching side bags :)

I have used it before as a carry-on. Both domestic and international flights. You can unzip the daypack and have that as your "personal" bag.

Could be, but much better as a backpack. Straps are sewn to the bag and not removable. In backpack mode it works great when exercising, or when you need both hands like grocery shopping.

This bag is not intended for using as a backpack. It is more for carrying your pet on your shoulder

My daughter never wore it as a backpack ... it was too large for that for her. (She's in 6th grade.) At her school they only have half-size lockers and she doesn't even use it there anymore, it just doesn't fit in the locker.

you can but the bag does not have a cover or much padding. I don't think I would carry my laptop in there all the time. In a pinch it would fit but not a bag that I would carry it all the time. There are no slots or compartments on the inside so other stuff would have to be on top or underneath.

No - as mentioned the build quality is really poor. If you try and stuff this backpack, it will tear.

Easily ... My girlfriend uses it as a weekend travel bag. Has also doubled as a picnic bag. Nice size and zipper top

Yes, dont think you'd have a problem. The bag is expandable, so there is a lot of room.

Possibly. But it is a very small bag. I had to send mine back. Couldn't fit my miniature dachshund in it

No, not as your only travel bag. I use mine for hiking, 1-2 days of supplies. But your trip will be much longer so so I think this backpack would be too small for your needs.

No ,even though it is big enough to hold books it would not be feasible because of the large size of the bag. This would make it very difficult and uncomfortable to carry around.

Yes it can, at the bottom it has two additional velcro dividers that can be removed to make the area much larger. Great bag!!

Not unless you can fold it in half ;-)The inside demensions are more like a moderate sized lunch box and good for carying lots of little thing but poor for caring anything bigish. Even something like a hard back library book is beyond its capacity w/o really bulging the sides and risking the zippers. There are other bags better for a laptop.
