is this backpack good for high school/college students?

Yes I am a college student attending Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida studying Computer Animation. This bag fits my 15 inch MacBook Pro, my Wacom Drawing Tablet, and that is just in the compartment on the back. Then under the flap there is another compartment that fits books and other things you may want to carry. Worth every penny I spent. The back is well protected and is comfortable to carry. You won't feel the computer bouncing when your waking. I definitely recommend this for college students.

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

It fits a 15.6 lap top just fine and has been very sturdy as well. It has also gotten a few compliments on its appearance.

only thing that fits in there is an apple 17"... anything else, you're going to have trouble closing it. It was a nice backpack, otherwise.

I gave this as a gift to my post graduate student/daughter. It had to serve multiple purposes as from work to school. It satisfied her needs. Spacious enough for books,paper and lunch!! there's cubbies for cell phone and those sorts of needs. I thought it was spendy for what it is. but, it's sturdy a laptop and that was most important.It's still in use!

Short answer yes. I too am a full time college student and use this as my primary bag. I also carry a 13 inch macbook pro where ever I go along with and iPad in this bag along with notebook or two and sometimes carry a graphing calculator. But it does get bulky when you start adding accessories and chargers etc. If the text books you use are large (e.g. my Accounting book), it will not fit. If you are planning to have ALL of your text books with you then go with a larger bag. overall the quality is great.

It's not very big so i would assume it will fit you better than most standard sized backpacks. Quality is excellent for the money, better than some of the other high end names out there. I did switch back to a messenger bag for preference, but i would recommend this backpack to anyone that is looking for great features and quality for the price.

It has a laptop pocket with padding that will accommodate a 15" laptop. And yea, you can totally use it for college. Best thing is it doesn't look like a military back pack.

I think it is better suited for work. I carry an iPad in the tablet slot and a MacBook Pro in the laptop slot. I have headphones in the front pocket and the middle pocket usually holds work papers and any books I might be reading that I don't have on the iPad. I guess it would be OK for high school depending on how many books you try to fit 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.

It should be fine. It's adjustable, so you could use through high school. Very durable.

Judging from other backpacks I have seen, I think this one is definitely worth the $40. It is well padded, and I can fit a small laptop and an iPad in there, we'll protected, and still have room for all the peripherals needed, AND there is still manageable room for a few extras, such as a pad of paper, pens, and even my phone. I am very happy with it. I wish there were a choice of color, but the grey is "all purpose" so it's all good. When I started looking at various bags for my travel computers, I was astounded to find that a good number of them listed at over a hundred dollars, which made this one the bargain. Hope this helps.

I find it perfect for college students. However, I think it might be too big for high schoolers. Too big is better than too small though right? I must say though, most of my class-mates have smaller bags. It really just depends on you personal preference. If you have monster textbooks, a computer, and more, this bag has the space. It's really heavy as a result, but that's just going to happen. You can't really get around that.

Absolutely! This bag is very large. It doubles as my bag for school. 4 college level books with a two inch binder and I still have room for a snack, my wallet, and other incidentals.

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.

Yes, it would. I had originally purchased it for my son for school. His last Under Armour backpack lasted him 2 years and we had much success, which is why we purchased that one. This one was a bit smaller that his last one and it would not be good for a high school books, but would be great for travel with camera, etc. Just nothing too, too heavy.

As a college student, I use this backpack everyday, carrying my binder and my quite hefty think pad w series laptop and its large brick-like charger. I would say that Ive had no issues with it hurting my back the past year that I've been using it.

Yes, I got the bag last year for my senior year of high school and it worked amazing. It had more the enough space for a day of classes.
