The Work style is great as far as a school or office bag but how many books/textbooks are you planning to carry? I know some girls use them to carry their laptop in; the handles do stretch after a while too so it becomes much easier to carry the handles on the shoulder. plus as you use it more often, the top zipper portion of the bag sinks toward the inside which will give you more room for the handles too (if you know what i mean
)
