I purchased this for my daughter who is starting High School and did not want a back pack and preferred a satchel.
I will tell you if you are going to use as a school bag it does not hold many books.  Fortunately the school she goes to has central lockers and she does not have to carry many books between classes.
If you have to carry multiple lose leaf binders that are over 1 1/2 inches and more than two large books it probably will not work for you.
