Comments about REI Big School Pack:
I loved the different compartments! It kept my stuff very organized. The compartment closest to my back was the perfect size for my 15 inch computer with its case.
Unfortunately, this pack was not designed with college students in mind. I carried my computer, 2 text books, 1 notebook and a few personal items. The straps started to rip within the first 2 weeks of using it. I replaced it with a North Face that's a little stronger.
Bottom line: it's a great pack as long as your load isn't too heavy!

Comments about REI Big School Pack:
I've had this backpack for three years and I love it. I'm a college student, as well, but in general, I don't put as much things as the previous reviewer on any backpack. I would most likely use a wheelie if I were to do that.
It fits my Macbook, a medium-large size book, a 32-oz water bottle, and a ton of personal items. I love the little pockets and the mesh pocket in front of the pack. There's also nice padding on the back of the backpack for the laptop compartment. But I also use a liner for extra protection.
I also use this for hiking and for light traveling like packing for weekend trips. It can hold a surprisingly large amount of clothing (5-day worth for me, not including jeans) and many small things, if you pack it right. The straps are comfortable with its curve design. Overall, a great backpack. My loyalty to Jansport (which was all I knew before this backpack) is now a thing of the past.
