i have several needs for this bag but would this bag be good for school text books? if so would it be too big or your average size backpack?

I think it would work well for a school bag. It's a little larger than the typical school bags, but not much. It has two large compartments that would be good for dividing different subjects. More heavy duty than a standard pack.

The nice part about it is that you can cinch the 4 straps on the side and keep this bag compact for school, or you can loosen them and stuff it like a cabbage roll. I've had this bag for a year and I've been very satisfied!

Its is a little bigger than the usual student backpack. If you will it with books it will weigh a lot. But it is a sturdy pack.

I would say yes it is too big for your average size backpack. ..if you are going to use it for school text books you will have plenty of room that is for sure.

It's a little bigger than your average size school backpack. I actually thought it would be bigger, but when I received it, it is a good size. If I had ordered the small one, it would have been too small. For school, it would fit large textbooks plus whatever else you would need

Yes, I purchased this bag for my nephew for school this year because he is in high school and has to carry a lot of books. It is much sturdier than his previous backpacks. It is a little larger bag but still manageable.

Yes it will. But after a while it becomes uncomfortable, I like the bag overall, but I am currently looking for a new one. Just because I have to carry sooo much to school.

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.

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.

My son uses this for his school backpack. It holds 2 full size text books plus his 1 1/2 binder and has room for more. He also used this for his one week hunting trip. It held all of his clothes for a week.

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.

I don't think you'd have a problem with the bag holding up. My only complaint was that it was too small to carry text books.

It's a great back pack for school, with quite a few assorted pockets. The only thing I wish had was a collapsing strap with buckles. It's got a laptop sleeve that's good for a 17 inch 2010 laptop and a great little compartment for something small, like a portable hard drive. The second biggest zipper pocket is good in theory, but I always get stuff lost in that pocket, since ours so big. Not my favorite back pack, but I'm just set in my ways.

My daughter carries about 3 large textbooks along with notebooks, folders and her iPad in this bag. It however does not hold her 15 inch laptop. Hope this helps.

maybe fit well. but meanwhile you might put into 5 normal books or 2 thick books at most. i dont think its big enough. pretty casual style. if you are not to put a lot of stuff including your laptop, just go for it.

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!

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

I did not use it for that but my son used it for school books for the past year so I imagine it would hold up. Near the end of the year the telescoping handle became a bit temperamental but still worked. Large back pocket will certainly hold quite a bit.

I just put a 15" macbook pro and a couple of medium sized books in mine and it all fit pretty easily. If you're putting text books in, they really should be medium size - large, thick ones will give you trouble.

I bought it for my son who is in 5th grade for school. None of his books, binder, folders fit through the zipper opening. He uses it as an overnight bag or for his tablet and handheld devices. Needless to say I had to buy another backpack for him. I would not suggest this bag for school for any grade. Check measurements and get something much larger than this instead. Good luck

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.
