I'm a grad student who works full time and I was really looking for something that looked professional enough for work but was also functional for school- this bag does it. First off its HUGE. I can hold my laptop (I think its 14 inches?), my ipad, a 5 subject notebook, and a text book or two and the bag is sturdy. I've been using it for two semesters now and the bag is showing no wear. There is a handy cup holder on the side that can hold a nalgene, and organization pockets on the inside with a sleeve for your phone, pens, etc. There is also a clip for your keys (which is really helpful with a bag this big).

A sort of con is also this bags size. Im full figured so this bag looks fine on me, but If I were a smaller person (like a 6 or smaller)or a shorter person) I think this bag might look too huge.

The material kind of feels like bag-pack material, but because its black it looks professional.

Again this bag has really held up well. Its been through cold, heat, snow, and rain and its still kicking.

I strongly recommend it and am thinking of looking for it in white this summer..
