The backpack is in my opinion not necessarily for college or school if you have to carry more than a few documents. Heavy and large books or folders so that I would not wear, because the backpack is not too large, the shoulder straps are not padded and he also has only one main subject. In the small compartment on the front only bits and pieces fit in. But for leisure and as a substitute for the handbag he works well. The color is great - a chic "gray blue green"!
