After being out of school for 9 years I decided to go back. Now that I'm no longer fresh out high school I didn't want a bag that looked too much like a teenage bag. this is perfect! It has a few places inside to keep your keys, pencils, calculator, etc. and it has an outside pocket too. Its zippered so if I accidently knock it over I don't have to worry about all my books falling out. I can fit a normal sized college textbook and an 1.5inch binder in there with room to spare. And its stylish too!
