DAKINE Prom Pack 

"This bag is PERFECT for a college student. I was worried about the size because I'm only 5ft2 but this bag fits me perfectly. I'm a Literature major so I have to carry a lot of literature anthologies and novels in addition to the usual binders and paper. This fits at least two large books (1,000-3,000 pages) in addition to my other folders AND my 13 inch laptop (my charger is heavy but I can stick that in there too if I wanted to). With all of that the bag still manages to look small when empty. Even though it has tons of space it does not look huge on my small frame and is very light when fully loaded. It looks big in the picture but I guess it's because it is stuffed. It flattens out nicely so it looks small but can expand to fit almost anything a student would want to carry. I was afraid of a giant backpack but this is a perfect size. It should be noted that my iphone fits nicely in one of the pockets on the inside (both of the phone sized pockets are also lined with the same material as the sunglass pocket so that your phone or ipod stays clean and scratch free!!!). The material seems very durable and looks a lot better than it does in the picture. The laptop sleeve has plenty of padding. I won't have to use a laptop case at all with the amount of padding provided by the backpack. The insulated lunch pack can fit a full lunch and one water bottle (or 1 frozen lunch/dinner). Don't hesitate! This bag is the best backpack I've ever bought.The only downside is that I didn't buy this bag sooner. P.S. This backpack will work for a child too as long as they are at least 5 feet. Any shorter than that and I think the backpack would be a tad bit big."
