    Do you NEED all 5 books every day?

    Also, how big are the books?

    If they're anywhere neat as big as my textbooks(and I have Biology class), then you'd be hard pressed to even find a regular schoolbag which can hold 5 of those behemoths, let alone a laptop and all its accessories >.>

    Yes I will need the books for all five classes everyday. They are accounting books so I am sure they will be big.

    The first link of Cin's - I have a Wenger messenger bad - and overal its holding up very well to me straining it regularly.

    My mother also has a Wenger backpack :D

    I'd say they produce reliable products and are worth a look. It may be an idea to have a closer look at them at Staples (one of the few places that sells them in the UK & Germany)

    The swiss looks to be the one that holds the most of those links.
