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

As long as the laptop is not over 15" and the binder is not over 2-3" you should be fine, however this is a gym bag more then a school bag! However it is very roomy and sturdy multiple compartments you should be fine!

It can hold most textbooks and binders that I've used it with. In terms of how much, I never put too much but it can fit about 4 inches thick worth of books/binders/notepads. I don't advise doing so but that seems to be the spacial capacity.So while technically yes, very little. I advise using this bag for light loads, such as reading books + notebooks while avoiding binders and textbooks that are naturally just large/heavy.

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

I think it would be a good bag because of the several different pockets. However, if you will be carrying a lot of books back and forth, it may be not be the backbag for you. I remember my kids in high school having a lot of heavy books and this is not quite large or sturdy enough for that much weight. You would be better off with a bag from LLBean or Lands' End.

Yes. I use it as a school bag and it comfortably fits my MacBook & 5 binders.

Probably not. It has one pretty large compartment (padded, for the laptop), a smaller one and a tiny one. For school, you'd probably want more. Plus I really don't like the thing in general. The straps are too long and get caught on stuff all the time.

Yes. Depending on the size of the textbooks, you should be able to fit a couple of books in there, too. I have the aqua blue bag, and I love it. I cannot use it without people stopping to admire it and asking where they can get one.

sure. you can also bring some books. I take it to my classroom, and it just look like a handbag.

Definitely. It fits my calc book study guide and solution manual with room for a chemistry book(~5lbs) notebooks and laptop. There isn't a securing strap for the laptop sleeve though, so you may want to use a sleeve for your laptop.

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.

I would say yes, I wouldn't put a ton of books inside. Find out the amount of books and folders that you're comfortable with. Then go from there. It can fit normal size binders the ones with the medium sized rings.Pens, pencils, markers, tablet all can comfortable fit inside. You can also add molle pouches to the bag. Modify it to your liking, even if you don't use it for day to day business. You will definitely find it useful for other things. But if you want larger get the Redrock Avenger.

I thought the compartment for everything-that-is-not-your-computer was tiny, but then I discovered that if you unbuckle the two straps on the sides of the backpack, then the the aforementioned compartment can easily fit three large textbooks, my binder, my gym shoes, my laptop chord, a change of clothes, and my water bottle/thermos. In conclusion, anything compressible, like clothes, will easily fit in this bag; even three days worth of clothes will be fine (unless it's an overstuffed downy winter coat-then it would just be the coat).

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.

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.

Certainly, used it through college. Enough room for my laptop and books if needed.

it's a pretty big purse. fits my digital camera and accessories. I don't know how many school books it would fit, but it'll fit a few reading books
