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

That's what I use it for. I really like it. The only negative is the bag is a little narrow so some books are a little tight. I would carry my lunch, gym clothes, 2 notebooks, planner, scientific calculator, three medium textbooks, a water bottle, chrome book it's charger, and some other little things.

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 think so. It's got plenty of pockets for this and that. I carry as many as four books and my iPad in it.

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.

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.

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 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.

This bag will easily handle some textbooks.....this is my "airport" bag and I carry 2 days of clothing, scuba reg, dive computer,dive mask, snacks, books and personal items in it when I am traveling to dive sites.

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

Yes, I think you should be able to fit a standard size text book. The desk is great- it saves a lot of space.

Yes it would. There are 3 separate areas for each of those 3 things. It's a nice bag. But if you have lots of extra stuff besides that, then there's not enough room. But for what you're describing it's should be just fine.

I really don't think so; it's more of an either/or. Either you could put the laptop *or* the textbook in there.It's really not that big, but that keeps it light and balanced on your back. I don't see the books fitting in well at all, I'm sorry to say...

It can hold a computer and iPad better than any backpack. What it will not have are massive areas to hold large textbooks. There are two areas where books can be put but if you are planning to put 3 large textbooks I might go for a larger backpack.

My college daughter uses it as a book/laptop bag and she loves it. I fits everything she needs for a full day of classes.

The bag is certainly rugged enough to carry college books. The size of the bag is probably good for 2 books or 3 small books.
