Just wondering what have people found to be the roomiest, sturdiest, backpack for college with a tablet and laptop sleeve, while looking decently stylish?
Please include brand and model if known and how long you have had the backpack!
The Kelty Catalyst is a roomy, sturdy backpack with plenty of room for securing your gear. I really recommend it.

I certainly don’t have 180 for a backpack, and I’m not looking for an outdoor styled one!
my kid is buying the Northface pack…its about $65…still pricey but, honestly, in college, your backpack is your car. You’re going to use it 7 days a week and through all kinds of weather…its really got to hold up. We skimped on a lot of things but not this.
I’m a HUGE fan of my High Sierra Access backpack. It’s my second one (have had it one year so far) - the first one lasted through high school. I’ve had pretty good luck with High Sierras lasting a long time, which is a big deal for me since I have abused my backpacks ever since elementary school. It think the Access is priced around $40-$50, although I got my most recent one on sale for $20.
I have the High Sierra backpack sold at Costco (it’s called the Elite Business backpack or something like that). It has a laptop pocket and a “tech spot” divider in the main pocket for a tablet. It’s super sturdy and I got it for 18 bucks last year. I don’t know if they have the same one this year, but I’m sure they have something similar from the same brand.
