I'm looking for a rolling backpack with lots of room. Any ideas? If you have one, what do you like or dislike about it? Thanks :)

I have a really good roller from Columbia. It holds up really well. It's big, but not big enough. I would suggest getting a small piece of luggage that rolls. LOL.

I got mine at Target for $35 and it's very durable and spacious. Walmart had some similar ones as well for a comparable price. The key is to go to the computer bag section -- not the backpack/luggage section. There will be a space inside for a laptop but if you opt to not carry one it makes a great section divider for the books.
Good luck :)

I got one from Sam's. It's more a business type bag. I like it because it's more square and rolls in all directions. It holds plenty but doesn't take up the whole isle in the classroom. It was around $50.

I found a Pacific Coast rolling backpack at Walmart for about $25. This was 2 years ago and I use it as my birth bag. (I'm a birth doula & lactation counselor) Cannot find another one for school and I'm not giving up my birth bag, but that is the brand name.
For school I found a SOLO rolling nylon catalog case at Office Max. I found that regular rolling backpacks are not large enough and business/laptop cases are not either. Since I have two very long school days per week I have to carry most stuff with me! Plus my lunch! This not only has a very large main compartment for books, it is long enough that I can fit my umbrella and other stuff in there too. Plus it has a zipper pouch that opens for folders or other files and another outside zipper for pencils/pens, etc... It was like $80 but I figure it will last through school and I got 20% off because the laptop bag was missing (didn't need it anyway) Dang, how does one get so excited about a bag?! :chuckle
