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.

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

Besides the laptop, you will have room for a book or two. This bag is pretty roomy.

This bag will hold several smaller books, writing utensils, cell phone, tablet, etc. but not a binder or a textbook. I can put in several file folders with my Chromebook. It's just not really large enough to replace a full-fledged book bag.

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

I'm and IT guy, not a student but I think it would be great for books as long as you don't carry too many. I routinely carry my MB Air, notebook and a few files back and forth to the office, and business trips. I often have a book or tablet too. Perfect for that. If you carry 3-5 large textbooks all the time, you may be happier with a backpack. I have a Swiss backpack that I take on longer trips when I have to carry more gear.I love this bag for day to day use. It's fantastic.

It's a great bag!! I'm a College student, lots of heavy books, holds a laptop (section just for it), a mouse. It has many compartments! Only thing, not waterproof :)

It is a great bag for college. It is one if the only 5.11 backpacks that had a dedicated laptop pouch and still has plenty of room for books and folders.

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.

It would - but depends on book thickness. This bag doesn't have any 'give' to it .. It's fairly rigid and does not expand.

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.

My son has a 17 inch laptop and he does not put textbooks in the bag because that would be heavy for him, but he says that you can fit one medium size and maybe a few smaller textbooks in the bag. There is not enough room for one large textbook. The bag is wonderful. He loves it. And he tends to charge his electronics at school and his friends' electronics, too. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.
