Would this be a suitable bag to take for college? Would it fit books?

My daughter uses this bag. She does not put a laptop in it but has some books. I don't think it is as big a bag as a back pack would be, but if a lot of books aren't needed then it could work. Don't expect a lot of heavy texts to carry.

Yes, I used it for school; you can fit a couple text books and notebooks. Its a super cute bag...lots of compliments

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.

It would definitely be big enough, perfect if you need to carry some books also. The pack is a great value with lots space. I carry only a 10" tablet so I now mostly use a smaller pack for EDC but keep this one in reserve for when I need more space. The hydration pocket is where I would put the laptop since it would be protected.

Quick answer...yes. This bag is super cool...but is rather heavy. Backpack ability should aid in the weight distribution. For college book use, however, keep in mind that it does not zip close, but rather, you'd have to buckle the straps at each opening and closing. That said, it is cool, beautifully made, and very "Ralph Laurenish" and also very large in capacity.

I bought this for my fiancée who primarily keeps his iPad in it. I put my 15.4" Hp laptop in to get an idea to answer your question. It fit snugly in the bag with a couple folders also in it. If you plan to only carry your laptop, I think you're fine. But if you planned to carry books and/or a large amount of paperwork in addition to the MacBook, I wouldn't recommend it for that use.

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

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.

It is a multipurpose bag. I use it even when we go for small trips. But it is primarily a laptop & tablet bag. There is a slot for tablet as well. I am not sure how many books you would need to carry. I feel it may be slightly big for school. That's just my perspective. Its a great bag though.

You could fit text books but it's a little smaller than standert school back pack size

Text books would not fit. This bag is small and could be used for a camelback for water. It's a lot smaller than it looks.

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

Yes, I think it would hold a few large text books or several smaller ones. It is a large bag with a good amount of space inside.

I don't know the size of a college book but i'm carrying a macbook pro retina 15", a medium sized wacom tablet, an apple bluetooth keyboard, a 120 page notepad, an ipad, a 3,5" exthdd, all the cables and adaptors for the electronics everyday. There is still room for 3-4 magazines and a bestseller with soft cover. I hope this helps. I'm very happy with the bag by the way, it's good looking and feels longlife. Been using it for 4 months now.

Yes. I use this thing for school sometimes and I can get my 17" laptop in it and two textbooks and a couple notebooks.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

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.

depends on how thick the books are. I put my macbook pro 17" in here. it is very snug. I am not sure with a 17.3" it may not fit. The cooler will fit. The lap top compartment is only for the laptop;the cooler and laptop won't fit together in that compartment. I travel lightly with this bag. I carry my macbook, my small wacom tablet with pen, a 1.5" 14x9'' folder, pencil baggy(not plastic box), and sometimes a water bottle, small chapter book. You can look this bag up in detail on youtube. I watched one on there a long time ago. http://youtu.be/mrmfS2oSHIQ
