I'll be a freshman this August. I've always worn a backpack and wanted a change. I was thinking of using a leather dye to make it a more practical black color and turning it into a messenger style w/ a long strap. To be honest I never really paid attention to what other people carried so please help me out here Well, college technically. I'll be a freshman this August.

Give us some more information.

That is a really cute bag, however it looks as if it would be more ideal as a handbag/purse. They have some really nice totes that will allow you plenty of space to carry your books and supplies in. I am a college student myself and that is what I mostly see students carrying. A tote or just a knapsack. If you are looking for something with a vintage/worn vibe, there are bags on that style. :)

Its a nice bag but i feel like it would be too small to put ur books in especially if ur going to college.

i think so as long as all of your books and work can fit in there.....it is a nice bag by the way and it does seem appropriate!!! :)
