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!

I think so. It really depends on how many books a student would need to carry. If they carry a lot of books (for example if they carry all their books for a full day of classes) or if the books are really big and thick, then they might want something a bit bigger. It's definitely great for carrying a laptop plus iPad (or other tablet). However, the pockets can be used for folders/papers also. I normally carry only a laptop, so I often will put a folder or a papers into the pocket designed for the iPad. The front pockets are great for carrying all sorts of pens/pencils and markers and the side pockets are perfect for water bottles. I think so.

It is a bit heavy, however it does have a great deal of room for laptop, Ipad or tablet. Lot's of other room for notebooks etc. I carry mine all over the country. Ruggedly built and will stand up to abuse in my opinion.

Its great for travel and it protects your laptop very well. The main feature is how the backpack splits for the airport xray. There's a lot of compartments for headphones, ipad, and cables. At best, you'll be able to carry a laptop, ipad, one large textbook, and a few magazine.

This backpack is built for people who travel and specifically people who go through airport security a lot. I love the fact that I don't have to take my laptop out and love the versatility of the compartments. But if I were in college or high school I probably would find some of those features useless and in the way.

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 son, in High School, said no. Not enough room for textbooks unless you don't have to carry them back and forth.

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.

This backpack is good for any 17 inch laptops. Good for college, travelling even for work. It looks so bulky though and some people might not like that.

I would say yes. I have only used it for backpacking and all of my stuff fits in there perfectly. I'm assuming you will only be taking clothes so you should be good with this backpack. I love this backpack!

This would be a great backpack for school. I carry tools in mine to work every day and it holds up fine. Can't beat the Badlands warranty

Yes.. it's a very durable backpack. I used it to carry a large laptop back and forth to work 5 days a week along with my lunch and misc other items. Never had a problem. No holes. No rips. And it's fairly lightweight for what it can carry.

It's not the most stylish backpack, but it has plenty of space and pockets, of you get a good offer, it's a good choice. I love mine btw.

Yeah it isnt especially strong, and you have to be careful with it, but the backpack is extremely comfortable. All my friends at school love it. So if you can deal with a little bit weaker of a zipper, then its worth it.

Misty, In reference to sturdy; yes, this pack is very sturdy and put together very well. As for a backpack for school; it would indeed work, it has a lot of room and pockets for small items. I wear it all day while out bow hunting without any discomfort or fatigue.Hopefully this will help.Have a fantastic day!

I would be okay doing it once in a while but it is not something that I would try to push in the backpack every day to go to class. The metal is strong but there is an angle in the back so it is not completely flat. I think it would take up more room in your backpack than you would expect.

I would love this as a high school backpack. Plenty of expandability if you need more room with the molle system

Not at all. It is smaller than the packs my kids carried in high school, but still large enough to fit everything you need.

Yes, it could definitely fit. You may be able to find the exact dimensions online somewhere. The backpack is honestly pretty huge compared to a normal school-type pack (the north face etc.)

My elementary schooler uses it for 3 Ring binder and lunchbag folded on top. I don't think you can get a High school textbook AND 'several' notebooks in it.

My son, a freshman in high school, stuffed a 15 in laptop, a 2.5 in. thick notebook, a 1 in. notebook, his PE clothes, a lunch box, and sometimes a tennis racket in his and the zippers held up all year. I would say that the zippers are above average. He liked this backpack so much that I have ordered a new one to have on hand when the one he used last year wears out.

Unfortunatelly NOT. The price is good but this is a backpack for a beach walking day. That's the best I can descríibe . Hope it helps.

Absolutely yes. Also it depends on how you arrange the panels, but there's room for quite a number of elements. You even get to remove all the panels and use it as a regular backpack.
