Is it good for packing to come home from college?

I think so. I have moved internationally several times, and these have helped tremendously especially with bedding and winter clothes.

It is perfect for any storage, if you get bags that stay sealed. I purchased the original space bags decades ago. They have never lost air & I have reused them. Since then, I have purchased what was labeled as "original space bags." They lost air an hour after sealed. I thought I'd give these a try. I'm hoping they work. They are a wonderful space saver when they do work.

Kiera,I would not use space bags for anything anymore. I've had nothing but problems with these. I thought they had made improvements recently, but I still have a 99% failure rate. I've tried everything, but with no luck. I thought they might be good to pack for a recent move, but they re-inflated and pushed the box they were packed in wide open. I'm sure others have had good luck with these, but I would stay away from them.

Yep, you can fit more clothes & bedding in the car. (But it doesn't help with furniture. Lol!)

This is a backpack that can hold alot of stuff. It is one of the largest that I have seen. Yes, it would be very good for a college student.

Very good for it. Flew to NYC for college with it and it protected perfectly. Flying back with it for winter break.

I think it's a perfect size if they have a laptop to carry around with other stuff. However, it would be very easy to over stuff it with books and paper, which might make it too heavy. As long as they pack it wisely and don't over load it, it should work great for students!

I would say yes. I have only used it for backpacking and all of my stuff fits in there perfectly. I'm assuming you will only be taking clothes so you should be good with this backpack. I love this backpack!

It is great for travel but may be a bit bulky for school. I think you could find one better suited for that situation. That being said, I LOVE this backpack!

Yes, but it depends on how much other stuff you're planning on packing into the bag.If you like taking a lot, the Beacon or Titan may be better options.

Yes, you will even have some room left to wiggle. It's weightless, well cushioned and you can fit it in you back pack if you are going to school.

I didn't use them for packing to move, I am just using them for storage. If I remember correctly there is a thin piece of fabric to place in between the dishes, but I don't think that would be adequate cushion for moving, you might want to still use bubble wrap or some other type of protective wrap. I hope this helps.

Not at all. It is smaller than the packs my kids carried in high school, but still large enough to fit everything you need.

It would work for that. It has enough room but I would also consider other (possibly cheaper) options if you just need to pack clothes.

I bought this for my daughter at college and she stores stuff underneath her bed. If this help you.

They will fit with room for more items if you need. Kinda large though so it won't save any space if you decide to pack it.

Aimee,I think for boxed items, not appliances, this would be helpful for moving. It is also great for after the move in that it is easily stowed away until its next use.

No, not at all! U need to fold neatly and stack whatever items the way u would in a closet, 'Neatly'!!! and the bags have a 'below line' so not to 'over-pack'!! Enjoy! Have Fun!

Should work fine provided you have some place to air it out for three days. Can't do it in your dorm room. Check size too

It will work well for a college student once they figure out Windows 8...which is full of clutter. Everything auto saves to the cloud so they might want to change that setting if they prefer to keep their info private.
